One of the main objectives of the communication strategy is to give voice to the partners involved in the project. The brochure highlights the efforts made in this respect. It highlights the interviews conducted with workshop participants and government officials in each country, ensuring diverse perspectives were captured and represented.Activities showcased in the brochure are the press releases circulated around project activities, the X/Twitter posts, the news articles published on FAO websites, EU websites, local publications, and the activities conducted for the 2023 World Food Safety Day. The brochure reveals the efforts made to include voices from our partners across the 12 African Union countries.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate-change impacts on plant pests: a technical resource to support national and regional plant protection organizations 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Climate change is having an impact on ecosystems and agricultural production systems throughout the world. It influences international trade flows of plants and plant products and it will change the infectivity, severity and distribution of plant pests throughout the world. Preventive, mitigation and adaptation measures by national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) and regional plant protection organizations (RPPOs) are essential to limit the international spread of pests adapting to climate change.Climate-change impacts on ecosystems, pests and vectors also threaten the international trading system, as international trade provides a pathway for pests and vectors to spread into new areas of the world. To facilitate safe international trade in plants and plant products, it is therefore imperative to strengthen national, regional and international phytosanitary capacities regarding climate change. The aim of this document is to provide technical and operational advice to NPPOs and RPPOs on how to effectively assess and manage the pest risk that is a consequence of climate change.

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. -
