Book (stand-alone)Technical bookApproches transformatives sensibles au genre pour la sécurité alimentaire, l’amélioration de la nutrition et l’agriculture durable - Recueil de quinze bonnes pratiques 2022Le recueil de 15 bonnes pratiques, publié dans le cadre du Programme conjoint sur les approches transformatives sensibles au genre pour la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition, présente des méthodes qui ont donné de bons résultats dans différents contextes. Il met en évidence les bonnes pratiques et les expériences qui contribuent à susciter des changements positifs et profonds en matière de genre, au service de la sécurité alimentaire, d’une meilleure nutrition et d’une agriculture durable. Ce recueil contient des conseils sur l’application de ces approches dans toute institution qui œuvre dans le secteur agricole et les zones rurales. Il est le fruit des contributions d’organisations très diverses qui appliquent activement ces pratiques dans les domaines de l’agriculture et du développement rural. Les approches présentées dans le recueil peuvent être mises en œuvre à différents niveaux: individuel, de la famille ou du ménage, du groupe ou de la communauté, ou encore au niveau institutionnel en partenariat avec des organisations non gouvernementales, des organisations de la société civile locales et/ou des administrations locales et des districts. Le recueil compte quatre objectifs: (i) faire le bilan et tirer les enseignements de l’application des approches existantes; (ii) servir de ressource aux organismes qui emploient déjà ces approches, afin de les aider à repérer les possibilités de renforcer leurs activités dans ce domaine ou à les relier à des interventions complémentaires; (iii) fournir des conseils sur la manière d’appliquer ces approches dans toute organisation ou institution qui s’emploie à améliorer la sécurité alimentaire, la nutrition et l’agriculture durable; (iv) faire mieux connaître et promouvoir ces approches, grâce à des exemples de bonnes pratiques ou d’initiatives réussies qui contribuent à des changements positifs, liés ou non à la question du genre, dans les domaines de la sécurité alimentaire, de la nutrition ainsi que de l’agriculture et du développement rural durables.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
