Book (stand-alone)Technical reportPerspectivas alimentarias - No. 2 Rome, junio 2004 2004El pronóstico más reciente de la FAO relativo a la producción mundial de cereales en 2004 es de 1 956 millones de toneladas, lo que representa un aumento considerable respecto del año anterior. Sin embargo, aunque se prevé un aumento moderado de la utilización, la nueva campaña comercial 2004/05 podría culminar en una disminución de las existencias mundiales de cereales por quinto año consecutivo. El primer pronóstico de la FAO relativo al comercio mundial de cereales en 2004/05 se cifra en 229,7 millones de toneladas, un 3 por ciento menos que el año anterior. La disminución se debe principalmente a unas buenas perspectivas para las cosechas en los países importadores habituales, así como a una fuerte recuperación de la producción en Europa. En el caso del arroz, el comercio también debería verse limitado por la escasez de los suministros en los principales países exportadores.

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportPerspectivas alimentarias - No.2, junio 2005 2005Las perspectivas para la cosecha mundial de cereales de 2005 siguen siendo favorables. Los pronósticos más recientes indican una disminución respecto de la producción sin precedentes de 2004, pero no en la medida que se había previsto anteriormente. El primer pronóstico de la FAO relativo al comercio mundial de cereales en la campaña comercial 2005/06 apunta a una ligera disminución respecto del volumen revisado de 2004/05, debido principalmente a una demanda menor de importaciones de trigo .

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportPerspectivas Alimentarias - No.1 junio 2006 2006Durante los últimos meses los precios de los productos agrícolas básicos se han vuelto más inestables, con una fuerte tendencia al alza. En los mercados agrícolas, la oferta de algunos alimentos y forrajes importantes fue más escasa, y la demanda más fuerte; mientras que en el complejo energético y en los metales, el equilibrio más difícil entre la oferta y la demanda se tradujo en un fuerte aumento de los precios. En un clima de incertidumbre política y fuerte alza de los precios de la energía, los mercados agrícolas han debido hacer frente durante el pasado año a una serie de catástrofes naturales excepcionales, desde devastadores huracanes hasta la rápida propagación de enfermedades animales.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This 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. -
Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge.
