Synopsis (short abstract) Despite improvements in 2018, acute vulnerabilities in Burundi persist, particularly in areas affected by climate hazards and with a high concentration of displaced people where there is significant pressure on already limited resources. In 2019, there is a high probability of the occurrence of an El Niño-like phenomenon as well as of aninflux of refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which could affect the progress made. In response, FAO requires USD 8.9 million to assist 100 050 people through agricultural activities.

    Political, security and related humanitarian conditions in Burundi aren’t expected to improve and will lead to a continued outflow of Burundian refugees in 2018. As the phenomenon is becoming protracted, promoting access to agricultural livelihoods is key to achieve refugees’ self-reliance. Enhancing the productive capacities of both refugee and host populations is critical for them to peacefully co-exist and reduce pressure on the already limited natural resources of vulnerable host communities.

    Years of conflict and significant economic deterioration have left South Sudan in the grip of serious food insecurity, with women and children the most vulnerable. Despite the recent peace agreement, extreme levels of acute food insecurity are expected to persist in areas of continued conflict and poor harvests, calling for immediate and unhindered food assistance and careful monitoring. For 2019, FAO requires USD 75 million to assist 4.8 million people to protect their livelihoods and increase their resilience to shocks.

    Since 2015, Chad’s Lake province has been severely affected by the impact of the northeastern Nigerian crisis. Ongoing military operations and security incidents, particularly in the border areas with Nigeria and the Niger, have caused population displacements and affected vulnerable local communities. Households’ livelihoods have been disrupted, increasing food insecurity and malnutrition in a context of low access to basic services, chronic poverty and climate variability. In 2019, FAO is requesting for USD 21million to assist 272 025 people through agricultural and livestock support.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
    Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
    2023
    Also available in:
    This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.

    This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste.
