DocumentFactsheetDéveloppement de l’industrie et des marchés du manioc aux Caraïbes- TCP/SLC/3503 2017Le manioc joue un rôle important dans les besoins alimentaires et les revenus de nombreuses communautés rurales des Caraïbes. Malgré sa riche histoire dans la région des Caraïbes, le développement de l’industrie du manioc est bien inférieur à son potentiel, en raison de la mauvaise gestion et du manque de ressources. Avec les importations de blé et de maïs pesant lourdement sur les réserves de devises étrangères de la région, le manioc constitue une ressource inexploitée qui pourrait atténuer le poids des factures d’importation de denrées alimentaires et améliorer les moyens de subsistance des petits agriculteurs, des industriels du traitement et de la population rurale. Ce projet visait à remédier aux difficultés auxquelles sont confrontées l’industrie de la transformation des produits agricoles, le développement commercial et la promotion des produits à valeur ajoutée à base de manioc à la Barbade, au Belize, à la Grenade, en Guyane, en Jamaïque, à Sainte-Lucie et à Saint-Vincent-et-les-Grenadines. En favorisant l’utilisation et l’exportation de produits à valeur ajoutée à base de manioc sur les marchés nationaux, régionaux et internationaux, le projet a contribué à la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle durable et a contribué à créer de nouvelles opportunités d’emploi dans certains pays caribéens.

DocumentFactsheetRestauration de la production de fruits et de legumes pour les agriculteurs de Swaziland- TCP/SWA/3501 2017Au cours de la dernière décennie, les faibles précipitations et la menace persistante du changement climatique ont généré une insécurité alimentaire affectant 21 pourcent du Swaziland, avec la quasi-totalité de la population ne mangeant pas suffisamment de fruits et de légumes. Les agriculteurs ruraux qui ont une connaissance limitée de la façon de maximiser la productivité de leurs terres et de s’assurer qu’elles répondent à leurs besoins alimentaires et nutritionnels, doivent améliorer d’urgence la diversité des cultures pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire et leurs besoins alimentaires. Parallèlement, la valeur des produits agricoles importés a dépassé cinq fois celle des exportations entre 2005 et 2013. Ces facteurs exigent de promouvoir des pratiques agricoles respectueuses du climat et de renforcer la résilience et d’accroître les revenus que les agriculteurs tirent de l’agriculture.

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.

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.

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.
