    No results found.
    The April 2025 issue of the publication summarizes the salient trends and drivers of market developments and significant public policy changes in 2024. The review shows that world meat production expanded in 2024, underpinned by increased slaughter and improved profitability. The review also illustrates that international trade in meat products rebounded in 2024, supported by easing inflationary pressures and stronger consumer purchasing power in many parts of the world, along with supply constraints in major importing countries. These factors contributed to firm international demand, driving a steady increase in global meat prices.

    The impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies

    Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
