BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochure生态农业的十大要素
引领面向可持续粮食和农业系统的转型
2018如今的粮食和农业系统已成功地为全球市场提供了大量食物。然而，依靠大量外 部投入的资源密集型农业系统已导致大规模毁林、缺水、生物多样性丧失、土壤流失 和大量温室气体排放。尽管近期取得了重要进展，但是饥饿与极端贫困依然是关键的 全球性挑战。即使实现了减贫，普遍存在的不平等现象仍将阻碍贫困的根除。 生态农业作为粮农组织“可持续粮食和农业共同愿景”的有机组成部分，构成了 全球应对上述不稳定形势的关键要素，为满足今后大幅增加的粮食需要并确保“一个 都不落下”提供了一项独特举措。 生态农业是在设计与管理粮食和农业系统的同时应用生态与社会概念及原则的一 项综合性举措。生态农业努力优化植物、动物、人与环境之间的互动，同时兼顾可持 续和公平的粮食系统所需应对的社会方面内容。 生态农业不是一项新发明，可在二十世纪二十年代后的科学文献中找到踪迹，并 在家庭型农户的实践、促进可持续性的草根社会运动以及全世界各国的公共政策中得 到体现。在最近一段时间内，生态农业进入了国际性和联合国机构的讨论范畴。
