Strengthening the forest–health–nutrition nexus
2020Forests provide, directly or indirectly, important health benefits for all people – not only those whose lives are closely intertwined with forest ecosystems but also people far from forests, including urban populations. Recognition of the importance of forests for food security and nutrition has significantly increased in recent years, but their role in human health has received less attention. Nutrition and health are intrinsically connected: Good nutrition cannot be achieved without good health and vice versa. Therefore, when addressing linkages with forests, it is essential to address health and nutrition at the same time. Yet forests also provide a wide range of benefits to human health and well-being beyond those generally associated with food security and nutrition. This publication examines the many linkages of forests and human health and offers recommendations for creating an enabling environment in which people can benefit from them. Designed for practitioners and policy-makers in a range of fields – from forestry to food security, from nutrition and health to land-use and urban planning – it is hoped that the paper will stimulate interest in expanding cross-sectoral collaboration to a new set of stakeholders, to unlock the full potential of forests’ contributions to greater human well-being. -

Book (series)FlagshipEl estado de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición en el mundo 2025
Hacer frente a la inflación alta de los precios de los alimentos en aras de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición
2025Aunque en los últimos años se han registrado avances y cierto grado de recuperación, el mundo sigue por encima de los niveles anteriores a la pandemia de la enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) y alejado de la erradicación del hambre y la inseguridad alimentaria para 2030 (meta 2.1 de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible [ODS]). Análogamente, pese a ciertos avances en el cumplimiento de las metas mundiales en materia de nutrición, el mundo no va camino de cumplir la meta 2.2 de los ODS. Este impulso se ha visto frenado por una inflación persistente de los precios de los alimentos, entre otros factores.En El estado de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición en el mundo 2025 se muestra cómo una inflación elevada ha mermado en muchos países el poder adquisitivo y, sobre todo entre las poblaciones de ingresos bajos, el acceso a dietas saludables. En el informe se documenta la vinculación entre la inflación alta de los precios de los alimentos y los aumentos de la inseguridad alimentaria y la malnutrición infantil. Los grupos vulnerables, incluidos los hogares de ingresos bajos, las mujeres y las comunidades rurales, pueden verse especialmente afectados por la inflación de los precios de los alimentos, lo cual comporta el riesgo de reveses en la lucha contra el hambre y la malnutrición.En respuesta a estas dificultades, y para prevenir futuras conmociones de los precios, en el informe se examinan medidas de políticas adoptadas por los países y se describe lo que se necesita para avanzar. Se destaca la importancia de una aplicación coherente de las políticas fiscales y monetarias para estabilizar los mercados, promover un comercio abierto y resiliente y proteger a las poblaciones vulnerables. Además, se propugnan mejoras en los sistemas de datos y una inversión sostenida en sistemas agroalimentarios resilientes para fomentar la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición a largo plazo. Estas medidas coordinadas son esenciales para reactivar los avances hacia la meta de poner fin al hambre y la malnutrición para 2030. -

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.
