FAO Legislative Advisory Group in the Philippines (FLAGPH) pilot initiative
2020Also available in:
No results found.Recognizing the need to enact a systematic way of managing resources, communities, civil society, and government agencies alike have long-called for the passage of the National Land Use Act (NLUA). The NLUA seeks to institutionalize a holistic, rational, and comprehensive land use and physical planning mechanism, which will appropriately identify land use and allocation patterns in all parts of the country. Enacting a NLUA would also provide for an environment that would better foster food security. -

FAO-WFP early warnings on acute food insecurity: June to September 2022 Outlook
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) warn that acute food insecurity is likely to deteriorate further in 20 countries or situations (including two regional clusters) – called hunger hotspots – during the outlook period from June to September 2022. Acute food insecurity globally continues to escalate. The recently published 2022 Global Report on Food Crises alerts that 193 million people were facing Crisis or worse (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification [IPC]/Cadre Harmonisé [CH] Phase 3 or above) across 53 countries or territories in 2021. This increase must be interpreted with care, given that it can be attributed to both a worsening acute food insecurity situation and a substantial (22 percent) expansion in the population analysed between 2020 and 2021. In addition, an all-time high of up to 49 million people in 46 countries could now be at risk of falling into famine or famine-like conditions, unless they receive immediate life and livelihoods-saving assistance. This includes 750 000 people already in Catastrophe (IPC/CH Phase 5). -
