    Rapport de la Consultation d’experts sur les directives techniques pour un commerce responsable du poisson. Silver Spring, États-Unis d’Amérique, 22-26 janvier 2007. 2007
    À sa dixième session, le Sous-Comité du commerce du poisson du Comité des pêches de la FAO, qui s’est réuni du 30 mai au 2 juin 2006, a recommandé d’organiser une Consultation technique pour élaborer un projet de directives techniques sur le commerce responsable du poisson, compte tenu de tous les aspects pertinents du commerce international des produits de la pêche. Le Sous-Comité a noté que les directives devraient en outre refléter la conjoncture actuelle du marché international des produits de la pêche, ainsi que sa nature dynamique, qui exigent une démarche tournée vers l’action et l’avenir. D’autres questions à prendre en compte sont la durabilité des pêches, la pêche illicite, non déclarée et non réglementée et les méthodes après capture. La présente Consultation d’experts a été organisée pour réviser ces directives en fonction des observations faites par le Sous-Comité du commerce du poisson. La Consultation d’experts est convenue que les directives devraient fournir des avis pratiques aux membres sur toutes les questions liées à la pêche durable et au commerce responsable des produits de la pêche. Il a également été recommandé de passer en revue les articles pertinents du Code de conduite pour une pêche responsable de manière à tenir compte de l’évolution du cadre réglementaire régissant le commerce des produits de la pêche depuis la promulgation du Code de conduite pour une pêche responsable.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
    Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
    2023
    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.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    The 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.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    In 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.
