Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureLe nexus eau-énergie-alimentation-écosystèmes (WEFE) pour accroître la résilience des systèmes alimentaires face aux effets en cascade des changements climatiques et des conflits dans la région méditerranéenne
Le mercredi 6 juillet 2022 | 9h00 – 10h30 (CEST)
2022Also available in:
Cette série de webinaires techniques est organisée aux fins de tirer parti des connaissances et de l’expertise d’un réseau de chercheurs, de praticiens du développement et de décideurs. Ces webinaires visent à renforcer le partage des connaissances et à stimuler le débat autour de thèmes se rapportant à la transformation des systèmes alimentaires dans la région méditerranéenne, les échanges entre pairs sur les résultats des études et recherches récentes, ainsi que la présentation d’actions fructueuses et inspirantes aux fins de promouvoir l’opérationnalisation des approches des systèmes alimentaires. Ce webinaire rassemblera les parties prenantes de l’ensemble de la région méditerranéenne aux fins d’échanger des expériences pratiques de leur participation à l’adoption de solutions nexus WEFE et de démontrer les avantages socio-économiques plus globaux des pratiques qu’elles proposent pour l’ensemble du système alimentaire, au-delà d’un système fragmenté de secteurs et de joueurs. Les parties prenantes échangeront des études de cas et des exemples tangibles de solutions techniques Nexus WEFE appliquées dans la région méditerranéenne, en insistant sur le Moyen-Orient et l’Afrique du Nord ; elles réfléchiront également aux facteurs de succès et aux défis qui se posent, et envisageront ensemble comment faciliter la reproduction et la transposition à plus grande échelle de solutions dans l’ensemble de la région méditerranéenne, et comment influer sur les changements de politiques. Un accent particulier sera mis sur la participation des parties prenantes actives dans les sites de démonstration du nexus WEFE. Ce webinaire s’attaquera à une question cruciale : comment l’application du nexus WEFE influe sur la transformation des systèmes alimentaires dans la région méditerranéenne, vers une résilience accrue aux changements climatiques et aux conflits ? -

Webinar outcomes
2022Also available in:
During this webinar, organized by the SFS-MED Platform and held on 6 July 2022, stakeholders from across the Mediterranean shared practical experiences of their engagement in adopting WEFE Nexus solutions and demonstrate the more comprehensive socio-economic benefits of their proposed practices on the food system at large, going beyond a fragmented system of sectors and players. Tackling the WEFE Nexus approaches from diverse angles of the Mediterranean food systems, they shared case studies and tangible examples of WEFE Nexus technical solutions applied in the Mediterranean region, reflecting on success factors and challenges, and discussing ways to facilitate replication and upscaling solutions across the Mediterranean, and influence policy change. The discussion was instrumental in demonstrating how the WEFE Nexus could represent a paradigm shift in the international development agenda, moving from disjointed sectoral development interventions to a more integrated resource management and sustainable use. There is a need for transformation towards sustainable food systems that embrace a WEFE nexus approach to promote peace, recovery and resilience, characterized by interdisciplinary research and knowledge sharing, to be applied in practice through multi-stakeholder collaboration. Moreover, bridging the nexus knowledge gap requires capacity building and combined action by the scientific community, policymakers and practitioners on the ground, paired with high-level political will supported by a sound governance system. Last, but not least, technological innovation and nature-based solutions spearheaded by the private sector have the potential to democratize data generation and use and to minimize costs for the sustainable management and restoration of natural resources. For this to happen, there is a need for financial innovation in de-risking and investment mechanisms that target innovative agri-food businesses and incentivize WEFE nexus solutions. -

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. -
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.

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? 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. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
