Book (series)BulletinPerspectivas de cosechas y situación alimentaria, No. 1, marzo 2020
Informe trimestral mundial
2020La FAO evalúa que, a nivel mundial, 44 países, de los cuales 34 se encuentran en África, siguen necesitando ayuda alimentaria externa. Las sequías agrícolas han agravado las condiciones de inseguridad alimentaria, debido a las cosechas reducidas que han provocado a su vez el aumento de los precios. Las crisis impulsadas por conflictos siguieron siendo la causa principal de los altos niveles de inseguridad alimentaria severa. -

Informe trimestral mundial
2020La FAO evalúa que en el mundo, 45 países -34 de los cuales están en África-, siguen necesitando ayuda alimentaria externa. Los efectos de la pandemia de COVID-19 -en particular por la pérdida de ingresos y empleos debido a las medidas de contención-, han agravado severamente las condiciones de la seguridad alimentaria a nivel mundial, además de incrementar el número de personas que necesitan ayuda. Los conflictos y las perturbaciones meteorológicas siguieron siendo factores fundamentales que influyen en los elevados niveles actuales de inseguridad alimentaria grave. -

Informe trimestral mundial
2021La FAO evalúa que en el mundo, 45 países -34 de los cuales se encuentran en África- siguen necesitando ayuda alimentaria externa. Las repercusiones de la pandemia de COVID-19, en particular en lo que respecta a la pérdida de ingresos, son un factor importante que influye en los niveles de inseguridad alimentaria mundial, agravando e intensificando unas condiciones ya de por sí frágiles. Los conflictos, los fenómenos meteorológicos adversos y las plagas siguen siendo factores fundamentales que sustentan los altos niveles de inseguridad alimentaria grave.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
