Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureConsidérations juridiques sur les réponses au covid-19 pour atténuer le risque de perturbation des systèmes alimentaires dans la pêche et l'aquaculture 2020Cette note d'orientation identifie certains des domaines dans lesquels les gouvernements sont intervenus par le biais de leurs lois d'urgence pour renforcer les chaînes d'approvisionnement alimentaire de la pêche et de l'aquaculture. Elle indique comment ces mesures réglementaires peuvent être adoptées par d'autres pays, contribuant ainsi à garantir la sécurité alimentaire et le développement économique pour tous, et en particulier pour les peuples autochtones et les femmes. À cet égard, la note contribue à l'objectif stratégique de la FAO visant à éliminer la faim, l'insécurité alimentaire et la malnutrition (objectif stratégique 2).

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureQuelles mesures face au risque que représente la covid-19 pour la chaîne d’approvisionnement alimentaire? 2020Face à la crise mondiale causée par la pandémie de covid-19, les pays prennent des mesures. Les rayons des supermarchés restent approvisionnés pour le moment. Mais une crise pandémique prolongée pourrait rapidement mettre à mal les chaînes d’approvisionnement alimentaire, qui sont des réseaux complexes d’interactions entre exploitants, intrants agricoles, usines de transformation, services d’expédition, détaillants et bien d’autres. Les transporteurs signalent déjà des ralentissements dus à la fermeture des ports et des difficultés logistiques pourraient perturber les chaînes d’approvisionnement dans les semaines à venir. La présente note d’orientation énonce un certain nombre de recommandations concernant les mesures qui pourraient être envisagées pour que les filières d’approvisionnement continuent de fonctionner en cette période de crise.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -

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.
