Book (series)FlagshipEl estado de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición en el mundo 2020
Transformación de los sistemas alimentarios para que promuevan dietas asequibles y saludables
2020La información actualizada sobre numerosos países ha hecho posible estimar el hambre en el mundo con mayor precisión este año. En particular, los datos a los que se ha tenido acceso recientemente han permitido revisar la serie completa de estimaciones de la subalimentación correspondientes a China desde el año 2000, lo cual ha dado lugar a una importante variación a la baja de la serie relativa al número de personas subalimentadas en el mundo. No obstante, la revisión confirma la tendencia sobre la que se ha informado en ediciones anteriores: el número de personas afectadas por el hambre a nivel mundial ha ido aumentando lentamente desde 2014. El informe muestra asimismo que la carga de la malnutrición en todas sus formas sigue constituyendo un desafío. Se han realizado algunos progresos en relación con el retraso del crecimiento infantil, el bajo peso al nacer y la lactancia maternal exclusiva, aunque a un ritmo demasiado lento todavía. En relación con el sobrepeso infantil no se han logrado mejoras y la obesidad en adultos está aumentando en todas las regiones.En el informe se complementa la evaluación habitual de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición con previsions sobre cómo podría ser el mundo en 2030 si continúan las tendencias del último decenio. Las previsions muestran que el mundo no está en vías de lograr el objetivo del hambre cero para 2030 y, pese a que se han realizado ciertos progresos, tampoco lleva camino de lograr las metas mundiales sobre nutrición, de acuerdo con la mayoría de los indicadores. Es probable que la seguridad alimentaria y el estado nutricional de los grupos de población más vulnerables se deterioren aún más debido a las repercusiones socioeconómicas y sanitarias de la pandemia de la enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19). -

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? 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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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.
