NewsletterNewsletterSuivi du Marché du Riz - Septembre 2004 2004Les prévisions de la FAO pour la production mondiale de paddy ont été abaissées à 608 millions de tonnes en raison des conditions climatiques adverses qui ont touché plusieurs pays de l’hémisphère nord. Les estimations de la production mondiale pour la campagne antérieure 2003 ont également été révisées à la baisse à la lumière des nouvelles estimations, moins optimistes, annoncées par plusieurs pays à propos de leurs récoltes 2003. Malgré ces modifications, la production attendue pour 2004 reste supérieure de 4 pour cent, soit 24 millions de tonnes, à celle de 2003.

NewsletterNewsletterSuivi du Marché du Riz - Mai 2004 2004Les prévisions concernant la production mondiale de riz de la FAO en 2004 ont été légèrement révisées à la hausse (613 millions de tonnes), soit 21 millions de tonnes de plus que la campagne précédente et le plus haut niveau jamais enregistré. Toutefois, à cette période de l’année, les prévisions sont encore provisoires, car le résultat final de la campagne dépendra en grande partie de l’arrivée à temps, de l’ampleur et de la répartition des précipitations durant la mousson d’Asie qui ne fait que commencer.

NewsletterNewsletterSuivi du Marché du Riz - Décembre 2004 2004Les prévisions de la FAO de la production mondiale de riz en 2004 se chiffrent à 611 millions de tonnes, soit une progression de 3 millions de tonnes due aux améliorations prévues en Chine, en Indonésie, aux Philippines, aux Etats-Unis et au Vietnam, qui ont plus que compensé la baisse de production au Cambodge, au Japon, au Pérou et en Thaïlande. Les perspectives de la campagne se sont également détériorées en Afrique, où les cultures ont été compromises par les précipitations irrégul ières et une infestation acridienne...

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In 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. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
