ProjectFactsheetUN Food Systems Stocktaking Moment (UNFSS+2): Building Global Momentum for Food Systems Transformation - MTF/SFE/006/IKF 2025

No results found.East Africa is faced with one of the world’s largest and fastest growing humanitarian and forced displacement crises. In this context, refugees living in Kenya and Uganda have some access to farmland and rights to work; however, many remain dependent on food aid, are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and struggle to integrate into their local communities. At the same time, local food companies are struggling to buy quality farm produce, and private-sector partners are often not present in displacement context or aware of potential opportunities that the refugee population may provide. Against this background, the overall goal of the project was to increase self-reliance of refugees and host communities through economic integration in agricultural value chains. The project was implemented within the partnership memorandum of understanding between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), jointly engaged in strengthening partnerships between the public and private sectors in agricultural value chains to build long-term solutions that mitigate the negative effects of forced displacement, uplift refugees and support host communities. -

No results found.Following the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS), the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General committed to convening global stocktaking meetings every two years to review progress on food systems transformation. However, persistent global hunger, rising food insecurity and compounding challenges from climate change, conflict and economic crises were threatening the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Recognizing the urgent need to maintain momentum for food systems transformation and address implementation gaps, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub and other Rome-based Agencies (RBAs), including the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the World Food Programme (WFP), undertook this project to organize the first United Nations Food Systems Stocktaking Moment (UNFSS+2). Supported by the Government of Italy, the UNFSS+2 represented a pivotal moment to drive progress toward the 2030 Agenda, under the theme "Sustainable Food Systems for People, Planet, and Prosperity: Diverse Pathways in a Shared Journey." -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
Also available in:
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportCFS 2019/46/Inf.17 - Agroecological and other innovative approaches for sustainable agriculture and food systems that enhance food security and nutrition. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition
jul/19
2019Also available in:
Food systems and agriculture are at a crossroads and a profound transformation is needed at all scales, not only to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2) to “end hunger and all forms of malnutrition” by 2030 but also to address Agenda 2030 in its entirety, including human and environmental health, climate change, equity and social stability. Current trends, such as the new increase, since 2014, in the number of undernourished people and the alarming rate of all forms of malnutrition in all countries, and related tensions will be exacerbated if we fail to design and implement, in a very near future, food systems that ensure food security and nutrition while addressing all sustainability challenges. Agroecological and other innovative approaches in agriculture are increasingly praised for their potential contribution to reach these crucial goals. This report adopts a dynamic perspective, centred on the key concepts of transition and transformation. Ultimately, this rich and comprehensive report aims to fuel an exciting policy convergence process and help remove the lock-ins by developing a common understanding of these matters, so that concrete transition pathways can be implemented at all relevant scales, from farm, community and landscape to national, regional and global levels. -

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.
