Book (series)Technical studyAn overview on local alternative ingredients, aquafeed supply and feeding management in selected African countries 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Aquaculture plays a vital role in enhancing food security in Africa but faces challenges in the fed aquaculture sector, particularly in accessing and producing high-quality aquafeeds. To address this, FAO organized the “Expert Workshop on Local Alternative Ingredients, Aquafeed Supply, and Feeding Management” in Egypt in 2023. Experts and stakeholders from nine African countries—Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Uganda, the United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia—participated, alongside representatives from governments, academia, development agencies, the private sector, and farming communities. Pre-workshop questionnaires informed national reports on feed ingredient supply, feed manufacturing, and feeding management practices. These reports, along with workshop discussions, form the basis of this technical document comprising nine country analyses and a regional synthesis. Common challenges identified include limited access to alternative feed ingredients, poor feed preparation and storage practices, inadequate monitoring of on-farm feeding, lack of investment for small-scale producers, low technical capacity among farmers, poor feed quality, and weak regulatory frameworks. The synthesis report recommends key actions: stabilizing feed ingredient supply and costs, promoting training for feed producers and farmers, improving on-farm feed and water quality management, enhancing data collection and analysis, expanding access to finance and storage facilities, and strengthening collaboration among stakeholders. These measures aim to build a more efficient, sustainable, and resilient aquaculture sector across the region. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022
Repurposing food and agricultural policies to make healthy diets more affordable
2022This year’s report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks) combined with the high cost of nutritious foods and growing inequalities will continue to challenge food security and nutrition. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively. -

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.
