Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureCertification biologique pour les bananes 2017En raison des exigences de la production biologique en termes de qualité des sols, de gestion de l'eau, d’atténuation du changement climatique et de conservation de la biodiversité, la quantité de bananes biologiques est naturellement limitée. Toutefois, la demande et la production de bananes biologiques ont connu une accélération au cours dernières années, entraînant une augmentation de 18% de la surface cultivée entre 2008 et 2015. En 2013, la Fédération internationale des mouvements d'agricul ture biologique (IFOAM) a estimé que la production de bananes biologiques représentait 850 milliers de tonnes, soit près de 1% de la superficie totale dédiée à la production de bananes dans le monde. En 2015, les pays ayant produit le plus de bananes biologiques étaient la République dominicaine (12 000 ha), l'Équateur (11 500 ha), les Philippines (6 500 ha), le Pérou (5500 ha) et le Costa Rica (4500 ha). Les ventes de bananes biologiques continuent de croître dans le monde entier, ce qui représ ente une opportunité pour les producteurs certifiés.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureBonnes pratiques agricoles pour les bananes 2017Les bonnes pratiques agricoles (BPA) sont des "pratiques qui permettent d’assurer que l'exploitation agricole est durable au niveau environnemental, économique et social, et fabrique des produits alimentaires et non alimentaires sains et de bonne qualité". Les BPA sont particulièrement importantes dans le secteur de la banane, non seulement pour la durabilité de la production et la réduction de son impact sur l'environnement, mais aussi pour que les activités de récolte, de conditionnement et de transport soient menées dans de bonnes conditions d'hygiène afin de fournir aux consommateurs des fruits sains et de bonne qualité. En outre, certaines activités menées dans le secteur comportent des risques importants pour les travailleurs qui doivent être prises en considération pour garantir la sécurité et l’efficacité de la production de bananes.

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. -
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.
