ProjectFactsheetUN Food Systems Stocktaking Moment (UNFSS+2): Building Global Momentum for Food Systems Transformation - MTF/SFE/006/IKF 2025
Also available in:
No results found.East Africa is faced with one of the world’s largest and fastest growing humanitarian and forced displacement crises. In this context, refugees living in Kenya and Uganda have some access to farmland and rights to work; however, many remain dependent on food aid, are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and struggle to integrate into their local communities. At the same time, local food companies are struggling to buy quality farm produce, and private-sector partners are often not present in displacement context or aware of potential opportunities that the refugee population may provide. Against this background, the overall goal of the project was to increase self-reliance of refugees and host communities through economic integration in agricultural value chains. The project was implemented within the partnership memorandum of understanding between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), jointly engaged in strengthening partnerships between the public and private sectors in agricultural value chains to build long-term solutions that mitigate the negative effects of forced displacement, uplift refugees and support host communities. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportTackling Global Challenges of Hunger, Malnutrition and Climate Change by Transforming Agrifood Systems - GCP/GLO/1091/ITA 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The world is falling short of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in the 2030 Agenda, particularly the goal of achieving Zero Hunger (SDG2). Transforming agrifood systems to become more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable is vital to ending hunger and malnutrition, eliminating poverty, conserving and restoring ecosystems, as well as to mitigating and adapting to climate change. The Italian Group of Twenty (G20) Presidency in 2021 placed food security and nutrition as high priorities on the political agenda, as confirmed by the Call to Action to the entire international community for improving global food security and resilient agrifood systems. These efforts were further strengthened by the Group of Seven (G7) Italian Presidency in 2024. Advancing the implementation of the commitments of the G20, G7 and other global fora can contribute to tackling the above-mentioned challenges. This project supported the renewed Italy-FAO partnership, with the objective of realizing the ambitions of the G20 under the Italian Presidency and other global fora, which set key strategic directions in 2021 to tackle the urgent global challenges of hunger, malnutrition and climate change by transforming agrifood systems into more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable frameworks. -

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideProcessing of fresh-cut tropical fruits and vegetables: A technical guide 2010
Also available in:
No results found.There has been a marked upward trend in production and consumption of fruits and vegetables in Asia and the Pacific in recent years. Along with rising consumer demand has come greater awareness of food safety issues and increased need for convenience and quality. Selection of high quality horticultural produce for processing and implementation of good practices during processing operations are required to assure both the quality of the produce and the safety of the final product. This technical guide reviews, from a theoretical and practical perspective, the critical issues that must be addressed for fresh-cut produce to meet consumer demand for convenience, quality and safety. A case study on fresh-cut processing in Thailand is included. The guide should be of practical value to small processors, trainers and extension workers who provide support to individuals engaged in production of fresh-cut tropical produce for sale. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
2025While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. -

FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
2023Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance.
