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. -
BookletCorporate general interestHuman–wildlife conflict role-playing game
User guide
2023Also available in:
No results found.The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme in Zimbabwe created role-playing games especially for use in Farmer Field Schools. Their primary aim is to learn about human–wildlife conflict (HWC) scenarios alongside the farmers who are most impacted by them. Role-playing games have a lot of potential, especially when the training’s performance objectives involve complex problem-solving. Participants in these games do not just observe; they actively participate in simulations that require group decision-making and interaction. The SWM Programme is funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD). The initiative is coordinated by a dynamic consortium of four partners, namely the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileCustomary law: Customary norms and practices to strengthen the sustainable use of wildlife resources in Binga District by Tonga communities 2023
Also available in:
No results found.In Zimbabwe, the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme pilot site is referred to as “Mucheni Community Conservancy” in Binga District, Matabeleland North Province. It is an area of communal land covering three wards under the formal authority of the Binga Rural District Council (RDC). One of the hoped-for outcomes of the SWM Programme is to ensure that policies and regulations enable the sustainable use of species that are resilient to hunting and fishing, and to ensure the conservation of protected and threatened species. To this end, the Programme identified gaps and opportunities for the sustainable use of wildlife through the analysis of statutory and customary laws. The focus of this document is to report on customary norms and practices in relation to land use and planning, hunting and fishing activities in Binga District. Gaps and contradictions between customary and statutory systems are highlighted, along with opportunities and challenges related to the formal recognition of customary rules. Information was obtained from secondary sources including a review of the existing literature as well as semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders in the area which included local leaders (chiefs and headmen) and community representative groups (men, women, youth), government officials (Forestry Commission, Parks and wildlife management authority, Environment management agency, veterinary officers, etc.), Rural district council officials, local NGOs and local politicians. Interviews were useful in validating information collected from secondary sources including colonial archives. The SWM Programme is an initiative of the Organisation of the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS). It is implemented through a partnership involving the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Cooperation Center for Agricultural Research for Development (CIRAD), International Center for Forestry Research (CIFOR) and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
