BookletHigh-profileCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) | Addressing the impacts of COVID-19 in food crises
April–December 2020, May Update, FAO’s component of the Global COVID-19 Humanitarian Response Plan
2020Also available in:
No results found.At the beginning of April, the 2020 edition of the Global Report on Food Crises was issued, presenting a stark warning for the future. In 2019 – prior to the COVID-19 pandemic – 135 million people experienced Crisis (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification [IPC]/Cadre harmonisé [CH] Phase 3) and worse levels of acute food insecurity. A further 183 million were on the edge in stressed food security conditions (IPC/CH Phase 2) – in other words, just one shock away from severe acute food insecurity. COVID-19-related restrictions risk pushing many more into crisis. As the pandemic progresses in food crisis contexts, food availability as well as food access could emerge as a serious concern – in both rural and urban areas. The Global COVID-19 Humanitarian Response Plan has been revised significantly upwards to reflect the increasingly urgent need to address non-health impacts of COVID-19. Of these needs, the food security sector represents the largest component, for a total of USD 1.6 billion. As part of this, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is seeking USD 350 million to ensure the provision of critical assistance where there are already high levels of need, while meeting new needs emerging from the effects of COVID-19. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureThe coronavirus and the potential blackout of national statistics: Reorganizing national statistical systems in the context of COVID-19 2020In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, National Statistical Services at country level remain committed to providing their policymakers, their economy and society with the information they require. In many countries, mitigation and contingency plans are put in place, as the situation evolves. Nevertheless, as the situation continues to deteriorate in low-income countries there is a risk that it could lead to a partial or total blackout of national statistical systems, leaving countries and their international communities blind for data needed for policy-making and the monitoring of national and international development agendas.

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. -

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookSistemas silvopastoriles y su contribución al uso eficiente de los recursos y a los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible: Evidencia desde América Latina 2020
Also available in:
Este documento representa el esfuerzo conjunto entre dos redes de acción de la Agenda Global: (i) Cerrando la brecha de la eficiencia y (ii) la Red Global en Sistemas Silvopastoriles. Un marco de referencia para evaluar el uso de los recursos naturales es aplicado a una variedad de modelos de producción silvopastoril para determinar su productividad y sus beneficios socioeconómicos y ambientales. Se presenta una visión general de los SSP, sus principales características y ventajas en términos productivos, ambientales y climáticos, y su contribución a los ODS, describiendo los resultados de diez estudios de caso de adopción de sistemas silvopastoriles en diversos contextos en Colombia, México, y Argentina, concentrándose en la productividad de la tierra, producción de carne y leche, y desempeño económico a nivel de finca. Basados en los resultados, se presentan recomendaciones de política pública que sirvan para el escalamiento y promoción de los SSP en Latinoamérica y otras regiones.
