Grain supply chains in Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Uganda - Technical brief
2021Also available in:
No results found.The UN Rome-based agencies joint project aimed to improve smallholder food security and incomes in food deficit areas by reducing food losses. The Project contributes to the African Union Malabo Declaration (AUC, 2014) in which Member States committed to halve the levels of post-harvest losses by 2025. It also contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 on ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns, specifically to target 12.3 that aims to halve food waste and reduce post-harvest losses by 2030. This technical brief presents the FAO methodology used to carry out studies on food loss analyses and the major findings and recommendations formulated to reduce post-harvest losses in the selected food supply chains in Burkina Faso (maize, sorghum, and cowpea), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (maize and rice) and the Republic of Uganda (maize, beans and sunflower), in the framework of the United Nations Rome-based Agencies’ joint project. -
BookletGuidelineGuidelines on the measurement of harvest and post-harvest losses – Estimating fish and post-harvest loss measurement in Guyana
Field test report
2020Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in collaboration with The Ministry of Agriculture in the Republic of Guyana organized and conducted a fish loss training/workshop. The training workshop held in Georgetown, Guyana from 25-29 November 2019. The main purpose of the training workshop was to test Fish Loss measurement tools and provide knowledge and values regarding global fish losses in the context of food security. This report presents details about the training workshop and experience gained from testing of the Guidelines on fish loss measurement. It includes situation analysis, Training Needs Assessment (TNA), selection of participants, goal and objectives, training description, preparation of training, delivery of training, and evaluation. In addition, some recommendations were provided for improving the Guidelines and future training workshops. The summative evaluation, based on candid opinion of trainees, suggest that the five (5) day training workshop was successful.

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. -

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. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
