Book (stand-alone)FlagshipLa situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture 2015 (SOFA): Protection sociale et agriculture – briser le cercle vicieux de la pauvreté rurale 2015Malgré des progrès importants dans la réalisation des objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement qui ont trait à la faim et à la pauvreté, près d’un milliard de personnes vivent encore dans l’extrême pauvreté (moins de 1,25 dollar par personne et par jour) et 795 millions continuent de souffrir de faim chronique. Il reste encore beaucoup à faire pour éliminer la faim et la pauvreté d’ici à 2030, comme il est inscrit dans les nouveaux objectifs de développement durable. Les populations qui con naissent l’extrême pauvreté vivent en majorité de l’agriculture, dans les zones rurales des pays en développement. Parmi ces populations, la pauvreté et la malnutrition sont telles que les familles sont enfermées dans un cercle vicieux qui se perpétue de génération en génération. Pour sortir de cette fatalité, nombre de pays en développement mettent en place une nouvelle stratégie qui consiste à associer protection sociale et développement agricole. Des mesures de protection sociale, comme par e xemple une aide pécuniaire au bénéfice des veuves et des orphelins et la garantie d’un emploi dans des travaux publics, peuvent permettre aux plus vulnérables d’échapper à la misère. Elles peuvent permettre aux ménages de se procurer davantage de nourriture et de diversifier leur régime alimentaire. Elles peuvent leur permettre de faire des économies et d’investir dans leurs exploitations et, pourquoi pas, de se lancer dans une nouvelle activité. Les programmes de développement agricole qui aide nt les petits exploitants familiaux à accéder aux marchés et à gérer les risques sont aussi sources d’emplois, de sorte que les familles rurales deviennent plus autonomes et plus résilientes. Associés l’un à l’autre, la protection sociale et le développement agricole peuvent permettre de briser le cercle vicieux de la pauvreté rurale.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of the World's Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture (SOLAW)
Managing systems at risk
2011This edition of The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture presents objective and comprehensive information and analyses on the current state, trends and challenges facing two of the most important agricultural production factors: land and water. Land and water resources are central to agriculture and rural development, and are intrinsically linked to global challenges of food insecurity and poverty, climate change adaptation and mitigation, as well as d egradation and depletion of natural resources that affect the livelihoods of millions of rural people across the world. Current projections indicate that world population will increase from 6.9 billion people today to 9.1 billion in 2050. In addition, economic progress, notably in the emerging countries, translates into increased demand for food and diversified diets. World food demand will surge as a result, and it is projected that food production will increase by 70 percent in t he world and by 100 percent in the developing countries. Yet both land and water resources, the basis of our food production, are finite and already under heavy stress, and future agricultural production will need to be more productive and more sustainable at the same time. -

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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition.
