Book (series)FlagshipÊÀ½çÓæÒµºÍË®²úÑøÖ³×´¿ö - 2002 (SOFIA) 2002During the past two years, the international fisheries community has achieved many important developments, and aquaculture too has received increasing attention. In many countries, international developments have been accompanied by actions aimed at broadening and strengthening fisheries management for the purpose of achieving sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. Results are slow to arrive, particularly in terms of rebuilding stocks or increasing fishers incomes, but this should be no surprise : scientists have warned repeatedly that most heavily exploited stocks will take time to recover if they can do so at all. Patience and perseverance are therefore essential, and fisheries management should foster such attitudes among all those concerned. The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture is one of FAOs important contributions in this regard. Its purpose is to provide some of the knowledge required for understanding the fisheries sector.

Book (series)FlagshipÊÀ½çÓæÒµºÍË®²úÑøÖ³×´¿ö - 2008 2009经过稳定增长，尤其是过去40年的稳定增长，水产养殖产量将首次占全世界人类消费的水产品的一半。这不仅反映了水产养殖产业的活力，还反映了全球经济的增长以及水产品加工和贸易的持续发展。直到大约一年前，水产养殖和捕捞渔业的产量继续着十年前开始的趋势，没有任何大的变化：捕捞渔业部门有规律地每年出产9000万至9500万吨产品，水产养殖产量快速增长，尽管增速逐渐下滑。 本期《世界渔业和水产养殖状况》专门介绍了可能受到日益关注的渔业和水产养殖的一些方面，包括气候变化、国家管辖区外海洋遗传资源的利用和国际水产品贸易中私人标准和认证计划的增加。本期还着重说明了粮农组织的几项特别研究，包括野生渔业资源作为水产养殖的苗种和饲料、世界对虾渔业回顾以及太平洋海洋捕捞渔业的管理

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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
