Also available in:
The Crisis Management Centre – Animal Health (CMC-AH) is a primary facility of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) for animal disease emergency response. A combined effort of FAO’s Animal Health Service and Emergency Operations and Rehabilitation Division, the CMC-AH unites FAO’s extensive technical and operational expertise with that of OIE, the World Health Organization (WHO) and other international, national and loca l partners.With the support of its donors, the CMC-AH provides technical and operational assistance to help affected governments assess epidemiological situations on the ground, diagnose transboundary animal disease outbreaks and set-up immediate measures to help prevent or stop disease spread. CMC-AH efforts also represent the first step toward broader assistance. Working to facilitate the transition from immediate, emergency assistance to longer-term support, the CMC-AH initiates resou rce mobilization and project proposal formulation efforts for affected countries and regions. -

Le Centre de gestion des crises – santé animale (CMC-AH) est un mécanisme de l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO) et de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé animale (OIE) permettant d’intervenir en urgence dans le domaine de la santé animale. Le CMC-AH réunit l’expertise technique et opérationnelle approfondie de la FAO, à travers le Service de santé animale et la Division des opérations d’urgence et de la réhabilitation, avec celle de l’OIE, de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) et de ses partenaires locaux, nationaux et internationaux. Grâce au soutien de ses bailleurs de fonds, le CMC-AH fournit une assistance technique et opérationnelle aux gouvernements affectés par de nouveaux foyers épidémiologiques visant à évaluer la situation sur le terrain et développer des solutions immédiates pour empêcher ou arrêter la propagation des maladies. Les activités du CMC-AH constituent également une première étape avant de m ettre en oeuvre des interventions de plus grande ampleur. Afin de faciliter la transition entre les interventions d’urgence immédiates et le soutien à plus long terme, le CMC-AH commence à mobiliser des ressources et formuler des propositions de projet pour les régions et pays affectés.

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. -

This edition offers a regional overview of the socioeconomic state of the region; national and regional data and trends regarding the costs and affordability of healthy diets; the possible drivers behind the high cost of healthy diets and their unaffordability; and introduces policies and investments around the region that aim to reduce the cost of nutritious foods and improve the affordability of healthy diets. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.
