Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -
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. -
Book (stand-alone)FlagshipSituation des forêts du monde 2009 2009Quel sera l’impact sur les forêts du futur développement économique, du commerce mondialisé et de l’accroissement démographique? L’édition 2009 du rapport biennal sur la Situation des forêts du monde se penche sur cette question sous le thème «Société, forêts et foresterie: s’adapter pour l’avenir». La Partie I récapitule les perspectives pour les forêts et la foresterie dans chaque région en se basant sur les études prospectives régionales du secteur forestier publiées périodiquement par la FAO . Les tendances déjà observées et les projections relatives aux changements démographiques, économiques, institutionnels et technologiques sont examinées pour ébaucher des hypothèses pour 2030. La Partie II analyse comment la foresterie devra s’adapter à l’avenir. Y sont examinés en particulier: les perspectives mondiales relatives à la demande de produits ligneux; les mécanismes destinés à répondre à la demande de services environnementaux des forêts; les changements opérés dans les institution s du secteur forestier et les évolutions scientifiques et technologiques. Ce volume servira de ressource d’information pour appuyer les politiques et les recherches relatives aux forêts. Il est à espérer qu’il suscitera également une réflexion et un débat féconds et contribuera ainsi à améliorer l’avenir des forêts dans le monde.
