Book (series)Flagshipوضعیت منابع زمین و آب جهان برای غذا و کشاورزی
مدیریت نظا مهای در معرض خطر
2020در دنیای پرجمعیت امروز، که جمعیت ه مچنان در حال افزایش و الگوهای مصرف در حال تغییرند، بشر برای برنام هریزی و مدیریت توسعة آیندة منابع زمین و آ ب، اقدام کافی انجام نداده، و پس از ده هها، شواهد عدم سرمای هگذاری، مدیریت ضعیف و نبود حکمرانی به وضوح آشکار است. تأثیر رویدادهای شدید آب و هوایی بر جان انسا نها هر روز خبرساز م یشود؛ از رانش زمین در شی بهای خیلی تند که تحمل سکونت انسان را ندارند تا طغیان رودها در کل حوض ههای آبریز. اما آنچه خبرساز نیست، تخریب خزندة منابع زمین و آب است، منابعی که امنیت غذایی جهان و معیشت روستایی را فراهم م یکنند. در برخی مناطق، هم اکنون کل نظا مها درمعرض خطرند و باید در عین حفظ یکپارچگی و بهر هوری آ نها، در جهت معکوس کردن روند تخریبشان اقدام اضطراری صورت گیرد. شکی نیست که لازم است دسترسی به منابع زمین و آب و مدیریت آ نها باید بسیار بهبود یابد. تقاضای پی شبین یشدة غذا و تولیدات کشاورزی م یبایست برآورده شود. باید به سوءتغذیه و فقر روستایی پرداخت و رقابت در تقاضای زمین و آب بایستی ه مآهنگ با نگرانی در مورد تخریب سریع نظا مهای طبیعی باشد. برای تحقق این امر، باید حکمرانی منابع زمین و آب بهبود یابد و سیاس تها همسوتر شوند. به علاوه، سرمای هگذار یهای راهبرد یتر نیز با هدف تأمین امنیت غذایی و کاهش فقر باید افزایش یابند. این کتاب وضعیت زمین و آب برای تولید غذا را ارائه م یکند و تهدیدهای مرتبط با امنیت غذایی و توسع ۀپایدار را تجزیه و تحلیل م ینماید. این تهدیدها تنها نتیجه کمیابی نسبی فیزیکی زمین و آب نم یباشد. روند رشد جمعیت و تغییرات رژیم غذایی و آب و هوا، مجموعة پیچید های از چال شها را به وجود آورده که عملیات کشاورزی بایستی با آ نها ه مآهنگ شود. در این راستا، ظرفیت زمین و آب جهان را برای مواجهه با این چال شها بررسی شده است. برای مدیریت برخی از «نظا مهای در معرض خطر » و دستیابی به تولید پایدار گزین ههایی ارائه کرده و خطرات و بد هبستا نهای مرتبط مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. این کتاب دربارة تغییرات سیاستی و نهادی و ه مچنین رو شهای فنی مورد نیاز محی طهای خاص بحث م یکند. در ادامه، یافت هها و توصی ههای مهمی آمده است. -
Book (stand-alone)FlagshipThe State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture 2021 – Systems at breaking point
Main Report
2022Also available in:
No results found.Satisfying the changing food habits and increased demand for food intensifies pressure on the world’s water, land and soil resources. However, agriculture bears great promise to alleviate these pressures and provide multiple opportunities to contribute to global goals. Sustainable agricultural practices lead to water saving, soil conservation, sustainable land management, conservation of natural resources, ecosystem and climate change benefits. Accomplishing this requires accurate information and a major change in how we manage these resources. It also requires complementing efforts from outside the natural resources management domain to maximize synergies and manage trade-offs. The objective of SOLAW 2021 is to build awareness of the status of land and water resources, highlighting the risks, and informing on related opportunities and challenges, also underlining the essential contribution of appropriate policies, institutions and investments. Recent assessments, projections and scenarios from the international community show the continued and increasing depletion of land and water resources, loss of biodiversity, associated degradation and pollution, and scarcity in the primary natural resources. SOLAW 2021 highlights the major risks and trends related to land and water and presents means of resolving competition among users and generating multiple benefits for people and the environment. The DPSIR framework was followed in order to identify the Drivers, Pressures, Status, Impact and Responses. SOLAW 2021 provides an update of the knowledge base and presents a suite of responses and actions to inform decision-makers in the public, private, and civil sectors for a transformation from degradation and vulnerability toward sustainability and resilience. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2019
Safeguarding against economic slowdowns and downturns
2019This year’s report presents evidence that the absolute number of people who suffer from hunger continues to slowly increase. The report also highlights that food insecurity is more than just hunger. For the first time, the report provides evidence that many people in the world, even if not hungry, experience moderate food insecurity as they face uncertainties about their ability to obtain food and are forced to compromise on the quality and/or quantity of the food they consume. This phenomenon is observed globally, not only in low- and middle-income countries but also in high income countries. The report also shows that the world is not on track to meet global nutrition targets, including those on low birthweight and on reducing stunting among children under five years. Moreover, overweight and obesity continue to increase in all regions, particularly among school-age children and adults. The report stresses that no region is exempt from the epidemic of overweight and obesity, underscoring the necessity of multifaceted, multisectoral approaches to halt and reverse these worrying trends. In light of the fragile state of the world economy, the report presents new evidence confirming that hunger has been on the rise for many countries where the economy has slowed down or contracted. Unpacking the links between economic slowdowns and downturns and food insecurity and malnutrition, the report contends that the effects of the former on the latter can only be offset by addressing the root causes of hunger and malnutrition: poverty, inequality and marginalization. -

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
