    Rapport mensuel sur les tendances des prix alimentaires
    2017
    Also available in:
    Les cours internationaux du blé ont dans l’ensemble augmenté en juin, en raison de préoccupations quant à la qualité des récoltes de 2017, liées aux conditions de croissance défavorables qui ont prévalu dans certains des principaux pays producteurs. Les prix à l'exportation du maïs sont restés globalement stables, tandis que les cours du riz ont continué d’augmenter, en raison principalement d'une demande vigoureuse. En Afrique de l'Est, les prix des céréales sont restés stables ou ont diminué en juin avec l’arrivée des récoltes de 2017, mais sont demeurés proches de niveaux record dans plusieurs pays. Les prix ont fortement augmenté ces derniers mois, en raison d’un resserrement des disponibilités provoqué par une contraction de la production de la campagne secondaire de 2016 due à la sécheresse, ainsi que par des préoccupations concernant les récoltes de 2017 liées à l'insuffisance des pluies et à la présence de ravageurs des cultures. En Asie, la demande soutenue a exacerbé la hau sse des prix intérieurs du riz dans les pays exportateurs en juin. Ailleurs dans la sous-région, les prix du riz ont encore augmenté et ont atteint des niveaux record au Bangladesh, en raison des pertes subies au cours de la campagne principale de 2017, ainsi que d’une réduction de la production et des importations en 2016. Au Sri Lanka, les prix du riz ont été soutenus par la contraction prévue de la production en 2017.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In 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.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.
