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)Flagship2014年世界渔业和水产养殖状况
机遇与挑战
2014作为生计、营养食品和经济机遇的重要来源,渔业和水产养殖部门能够发挥关键作用,应对世界最严峻的挑战之一, 即到2050年养活即将达到96亿的全球人口。本期《世界渔业和水产养殖状况》介绍水产养殖在数量增加和质量改进两方面如何保持其显著增长。然而,为满足不断壮大的人口规模所带来的日益增长的需求,整个部门需要在气候变化、自然资源竞争日益激烈和利益冲突背景下可持续地提高产量并减少浪费。科学、技术和治理的进步以及全球认识和承诺的加强,均有助于实现负责任和可持续水生资源利用的目标。为推动增加鱼和渔产品供应,采取生态系统方法且保障社会权利的创新方法旨在保护宝贵资源,造福今世后代。本文件利用渔业和水产养殖方面的现有最新统计数据,对该部门的全球状况和趋势做出分析。本文件还探讨了更广泛的相关问题,如鲨鱼养护与管理、小规模渔业收获后损失以及有利于鱼类的内陆水资源管理等。部分要点针对权属治理和渔业副产品利用等具体主题提出了见解。本文件最后探讨了满足未来鱼类需求的展望和方法。
