Informe mensual sobre tendencias de los precios alimentarios
2017El precio del trigo de referencia de EEUU bajó en octubre, debido principalmente a las mayores perspectivas de suministros, mientras que los precios del maíz se reforzaron a causa de los retrasos en la recolección provocados por las lluvias. Los precios internacionales del arroz se fortalecieron en octubre, en gran parte como reflejo de la escasez estacional de suministros de japónica y fragantes. En África oriental y occidental, los precios de los cereales disminuyeron en octubre con las cosec has en curso de 2017 o recién comenzadas. Sin embargo, las preocupaciones sobre la producción agrícola y la inseguridad civil mantuvieron los precios en niveles elevados en algunos países, en particular en Etiopía, Nigeria y Sudán del Sur. En América Central, las fuertes lluvias caídas en octubre provocaron aumentos impropios de la temporada en los precios del maíz y frijoles. Sin embargo, se mantenían en niveles muy inferiores a los del año anterior como resultado de suministros internos adecu ados, tras los buenos resultados generales de 2016 y las cosechas de la primera temporada de 2017. -

INFORME MENSUAL SOBRE TENDENCIAS DE LOS PRECIOS ALIMENTARIOS
2017Los precios internacionales del trigo aumentaron por lo general en junio, debido a la preocupación por la calidad en un contexto de condiciones de crecimiento desfavorables para las cosechas de 2017 en algunos de los principales países productores. Los precios de exportación del maíz se mantuvieron en general sin cambios, mientras que los del arroz siguieron aumentando, a causa principalmente de la fuerte demanda. En África oriental, los precios de los cereales se mantuvieron estables o disminu yeron en junio con las nuevas cosechas de 2017, pero se mantuvieron en niveles casi récord en varios países. Los precios aumentaron fuertemente en los últimos meses, debido a la escasez de suministros a causa de las cosechas de la segunda temporada de 2016 reducidas por la sequía y la preocupación por el rendimiento general de las cosechas de este año tras las lluvias insuficientes y las plagas que afectaron a los cultivos. En Asia, la demanda sostenida apuntaló aún más los precios internos del arroz en los países exportadores en junio. En otros lugares de la subregión, los precios del arroz continuaron subiendo y alcanzaron niveles récord en Bangladesh, reflejando las pérdidas sufridas en la cosecha de la temporada principal de 2017, junto con la reducción de la producción y las importaciones en 2016. En Sri Lanka, la reducción prevista en la producción de 2017 continuó apoyando los precios del arroz.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (stand-alone)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
Building climate resilience for food security and nutrition
2018New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting. Last year’s report showed that the failure to reduce world hunger is closely associated with the increase in conflict and violence in several parts of the world. In some countries, initial evidence showed climate-related events were also undermining food security and nutrition. This year’s report goes further to show that climate variability and extremes – even without conflict – are key drivers behind the recent rise in global hunger and one of the leading causes of severe food crises and their impact on people’s nutrition and health. Climate variability and exposure to more complex, frequent and intense climate extremes are threatening to erode and reverse gains in ending hunger and malnutrition. Furthermore, hunger is significantly worse in countries where agriculture systems are highly sensitive to rainfall, temperature and severe drought, and where the livelihood of a high proportion of the population depends on agriculture. The findings of this report reveal new challenges to ending hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition. There is an urgent need to accelerate and scale up actions that strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity of people and their livelihoods to climate variability and extremes. These and other findings are detailed in the 2018 edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World.
