No results found.El empleo rural decente es clave para alcanzar la seguridad alimentaria y reducir la pobreza. La FAO se ha comprometido, a través de su Marco Estratégico, a promover un entorno favorable para generar más y mejores empleos en las zonas rurales, con énfasis el empoderamiento económico y social de los jóvenes y de las mujeres. Uno de los programas modelo en esta área es el Programa “Enfoque Integrado de País (ICA por sus siglas en inglés) para la promoción del empleo juvenil rural decente”. Hasta l a fecha, el ICA ha sido implementado en cinco países en África subsahariana y América Latina. En Guatemala, la implementación del ICA empezó en 2015 y durará hasta finales de 2017. -
Book (stand-alone)BrochurePotenciar intervenciones sobre desarrollo rural que tengan en cuenta las cuestiones de género
Acelerar los avances para lograr el empoderamiento económico de las mujeres rurales
2016Les femmes sont au coeur du développement des zones rurales et des économies nationales. Elles représentent plus de 43 pour cent de la main-d’oeuvre agricole mondiale et plus de 70 pour cent dans certains pays. L’amélioration de l’accès des femmes des zones rurales aux ressources et au travail peut permettre de faire progresser la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition des générations actuelle et futures. Afin de relever ce défi, un programme commun a été lancé par la FAO, le Fonds international d e développement agricole (FIDA), ONU-Femmes et le Programme alimentaire mondial (PAM). Ce programme commun est axé sur quatre objectifs clés: l’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle, l’augmentation des revenus des femmes des zones rurales, l’accroissement de leurs responsabilités et de leur participation aux institutions rurales, et la création d’un environnement politique adapté aux différences de sexes au niveaux local, national et international. Lors de la période pilote, qui a commencé en 2012 et qui durera 5 ans, il est prévu qu’environ 75 000 femmes et jeunes filles des zones rurales améliorent leur productivité agricole et bénéficieront de changements positifs en matière de moyens d’existence. On espère qu’environ 400 000 ménages en bénéficieront. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
