Book (stand-alone)Policy analysisCollection of legal briefs for eradicating hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean
A tool for parliamentarians
2025Also available in:
This Collection of legal briefs for eradicating hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean highlights the important role of legislation in eradicating hunger and ensuring food security. Its pages compile decades of valuable legal knowledge through ten individually published notes by FAO, bringing together ten key topics related to the right to food and the fulfillment of Sustainable Development Goal 2, with the aim of serving as an essential tool for legislators and policymakers. These topics encompass constitutional provisions on food security, legal frameworks, and legislative measures aimed at combating rural poverty and improving nutrition. Each report offers practical strategies for legislative action, ranging from responsible land management to the training of rural women and the promotion of family farming.Furthermore, the importance of international cooperation in promoting sustainable food policies is examined, emphasizing the need to engage different actors, such as non-governmental organizations, the private sector, and local communities, in the implementation of effective solutions. Additional aspects covered include the governance of natural resources, climate change adaptation, and the resilience of food systems in the face of crises. Finally, the collection presents a comprehensive vision of the legal framework that supports food security and sustainable development in the region, highlighting the importance of inclusive, equitable, and sustainable policies to guarantee the right to adequate food. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests. -

Book (series)Technical studyAfrica Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2018
Addressing the threat from climate variability and extremes for food security and nutrition
2018Also available in:
This year’s edition of the Africa Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition reports that the food security situation on the continent continues to worsen. For Africa, 20.4 percent of the continent’s population – 257 million people – are undernourished, up from 19.7 in 2016 – 241 million people. In sub–Saharan Africa, there are 237 million undernourished in 2017, up from 222 million in 2016. The worsening situation in Africa is due to difficult global economic conditions and, in many countries, conflict and climate-related disasters, sometimes in combination. Economic growth slowed in 2016 due to weak commodity prices, in particular for oil and minerals. Food insecurity has worsened in countries affected by conflict, often exacerbated by drought or floods, and in Southern and Eastern Africa many countries have been adversely affected by prolonged drought. Notably, several countries have achieved sustained progress in reducing food insecurity in the face of challenging circumstances. The deterioration of the food security situation and the lack of progress towards the WHO global nutrition targets makes it imperative for countries to step up their efforts, if they are to achieve a world without hunger and malnutrition by 2030. The need for greater efforts also emerges clearly from the findings of the inaugural biennial review of progress in implementing the goals of the Malabo Declaration. In addition to specific food security and nutrition policies, this year’s report reviews four important cross-cutting topics, namely, youth employment, remittances, intraregional trade, and climate change. It highlights their interplay with the food system and their role in food security and nutrition. The thematic part of the report presents an evidence–based assessment of the threat posed by more frequent occurrences of climate extremes and rising climate variability to food security and nutrition in the region. Climate change in combination with poor development planning, poverty and environmental degradation increases the risk of a climate event becoming a disaster. A collective approach that combines climate change adaptation with disaster resilient development is an opportunity to address climate and disaster risks within the context of broader development goals.
