Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2024
Building resilience to climate variability and extremes for food security and nutrition
2025Also available in:
Latin America and the Caribbean have seen a decline in hunger and food insecurity for two years, driven by social protection programs and post-COVID recovery. However, disparities persist, especially among women, rural populations, and vulnerable groups. The region is unlikely to meet most nutrition targets, and healthy diets remain expensive. Climate variability is increasing in the region, affecting food security across availability, access, utilization, and stability. This climate impact reduces agricultural productivity, disrupts food supply chains, and raises food prices. Vulnerable populations are most affected, with changing diets further exacerbating the situation. Climate change is worsening food security and the causes of malnutrition. -
Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge.

Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Third Meeting of the Parties to the Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing
Brussels, 31 May − 4 June 2021 (Virtual meeting)
2021The Parties discussed the results of the questionnaire for the review and assessment of the effectiveness of the PSMA, agreeing that the questionnaire was a useful tool, whilst noting the need for further improvements. The Parties tasked the FAO to review the questionnaire, and agreed that the questionnaire would be completed every four years. Parties noted that whilst progress has been made in effectively using the PSMA to combat IUU fishing, a number of challenges remain. Parties welcomed the useful information provided by Regional Fishery Bodies (RFBs) related to progress made in the implementation of the PSMA, and agreed that a standardized questionnaire for RFBs is needed. Parties tasked FAO to develop a first draft of this questionnaire. The Parties welcomed the prototype of the global information exchange system (GIES) and agreed that it should enter a pilot phase. They also reiterated the importance of the availability of information related to the national contact points for the PSMA. The Parties expressed the importance of receiving support on the implementation of effective monitoring, control and surveillance, enforcement and the implementation of GIES. The Secretariat announced the launch of the Global Capacity Development Portal. The Parties requested that discussions around developing a strategy to improve the effectiveness of the PSMA be deferred to an ad hoc working group, and approved the terms of reference of the PSMA Strategy Ad Hoc Working Group. -
Book (series)Technical studyTipología de microrregiones en el sector agrícola de Ecuador
Una herramienta para priorizar inversiones en el marco de la Iniciativa Mano de la mano
2022Also available in:
No results found.En este escrito se ha realizado un análisis de tipologías de microrregiones para identificar y diferenciar las regiones del Ecuador con potencialidades y problemáticas comunes, de aquellas otras donde las políticas de desarrollo deban ser distintas. En una primera etapa, se estima una función de frontera estocástica utilizando encuestas de hogares/productores agropecuarios para predecir el potencial y la eficiencia técnica. Estas predicciones son utilizadas, en una segunda etapa, para promediar los valores a nivel de cantón (unidad administrativa de análisis previamente definida) y, junto con información proveniente de un mapa de pobreza, para clasificar estos indicadores en tres categorías (bajo, medio y alto), e identificar y agrupar los territorios en siete microrregiones. El análisis provee una herramienta visual y geográfica para priorizar territorios, así como también un marco conceptual para diferenciar estrategias o intervenciones. -
