Book (stand-alone)BulletinPerspectivas de cosechas y situación alimentaria - No. 4 julio 2007 2007El pronstico ms reciente de la FAO relativo a la produccin mundial de cereales en 2007 contina indicando una produccin sin precedentes, situada ahora en 2 121 millones de toneladas. Se prev que la mayor parte del incremento se registre en el maz, pero tambin contribuirn un fuerte aumento de la produccin de trigo y una cosecha mayor de arroz. La produccin mundial de cereales pronosticada en un nivel mximo para 2007 se ve ampliamente respaldada por las perspectivas de niveles jams alcanzados por la cosecha de maz en los Estados Unidos, donde los productores han plantado la superficie ms extensa desde 1940, en atencin a la slida demanda de la industria del biocombustible. En otros de los principales productores de cereales del grupo de pases desarrollados, sin embargo, las perspectivas para la cosecha de 2007 han empeorado considerablemente sensiblemente en Europa despus de la sequa que asol las partes sudorientales de la regin.

Book (stand-alone)BulletinPerspectivas de cosechas y situacion alimentaria - No.3 julio 2008 2008Se pronostica que la produccin mundial de cereales en 2008 aumentar en un 2,8 por ciento a un volumen rcord de 2 180 millones de toneladas. La mayor parte del incremento se registra en el trigo, debido a una considerable expansin de la superficie plantada en todas las regiones. La produccin de cereales secundarios se prev en torno al excelente nivel del ao pasado, pero menor de lo que se haba previsto anteriormente debido a unas graves inundaciones registradas en los Estados Unidos, el mayor pro ductor y exportador mundial. Se pronostica provisionalmente que el arroz aumentar ligeramente con respecto al buen nivel del ao pasado. Pese al aumento previsto en la produccin mundial, la situacin de los mercados de cereales seguir siendo difcil en 2008/09. El suministro total de cereales (existencias ms produccin) apenas exceder de la utilizacin y las reservas mundiales se recuperarn slo marginalmente del nivel actual, estimado como el ms bajo en 30 aos.

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The 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.

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.
