No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical reportTHE RUSSIAN FEDERATION - 9 November 1998 1998
Also available in:
This report is based on information gathered during an FAO fact-finding mission to the Russian Federation in mid-October 1998. Discussions were held with officials, food traders, research institutes and private market analysts. The report attempts to shed light on the prospects for food and feed supply, demand and trade until mid 1999, highlighting possible areas of food insecurity risk. The analysis is necessarily tentative as much of the existing data is disputed and the food markets are in a state of flux, following the rouble devaluation in August and the financial crisis. Drought and high temperatures from mid June to August are the main causes of a sharp drop in domestic cereal production this year. The total cereal crop (including 1997/98 winter and spring crops) is provisionally forecast at around 50 million tonnes compared to 86.7 million tonnes in 1997 and a 1993-1997 average of 73 million tonnes. The decline also reflects underlying downward trends in planted area and yields. Large carryover stocks have helped to protect aggregate feed supplies from the production shock, and domestic feed demand is expected to continue its downward course. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe inland fisheries of the Russian Federation: their current status for food provision and employment 2024
Also available in:
The Russian Federation is the largest country in the world occupying one-third of Eurasia and it has enormous water resources. Fish from inland waters has always been a central part of the Russian diet and a major contributor to national food security. Inland fisheries are highly diversified and provide employment to 40 500 fishers in industrial fisheries. In addition an estimated 2.4 million amateur and recreational fishers and around 150 000 Indigenous Peoples fish for subsistence and small-scale trade. Historic production figures surpassed 500 000 tonnes of fish from Russian inland fisheries, but have declined over the last 40 years, and current official catches are around 270 000 tonnes. However, unrecorded catches by recreational/amateur fishers add up to an estimated 100 000 tonnes annually, and subsistence catches by Indigenous Peoples probably add another 67 000 tonnes; and finally, illegal catches may add another 50 000 tonnes, suggesting that total landings are not far from what was caught in the past. The Russian Federation has invested significant resources and efforts into developing and managing inland fisheries and aquaculture. The review presents the current management structure and summarizes the comprehensive legislation governing inland fisheries, including the agreements with neighbouring countries sharing some of the major waterbodies or rivers. -

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)FlagshipПоложение дел в области продовольственной безопасности и питания в мире 2025
Решение проблемы высокой продовольственной инфляции в интересах обеспечения продовольственной безопасности и питания
2025В последние годы в мире начались изменения к лучшему и восстановление, но масштабы голода и отсутствия продовольственной безопасности остаются более значительными, чем в период до пандемии COVID-19, и человечеству еще далеко до ликвидации голода и отсутствия продовольственной безопасности к 2030 году (задача 1 ЦУР 2). Несмотря на некоторый прогресс в достижении глобальных целей в области питания, мир также отстает от графика выполнения задачи 2 ЦУР 2. Одним из факторов, замедливших продвижение к намеченным целям, стала устойчивая продовольственная инфляция.В докладе "Положение дел в области продовольственной безопасности и питания в мире – 2025" показано, что высокая инфляция во многих странах резко снизила покупательную способность населения, особенно малоимущего, и затруднила его доступ к здоровому рациону. В докладе показано, что высокая продовольственная инфляция сопровождается ростом масштабов отсутствия продовольственной безопасности и распространенности неполноценного питания у детей. Сильнее всего от продовольственной инфляции страдают уязвимые группы населения, включая домохозяйства с низким уровнем дохода, женщин и сельское население, что угрожает затруднить борьбу с голодом и неполноценным питанием.В докладе анализируются меры, принятые государствами для преодоления перечисленных выше проблем и предотвращения скачков цен в будущем, и описываются меры, которые потребуются в дальнейшем. В нем подчеркивается важность проведения последовательной налогово-бюджетной и денежно-кредитной политики для стабилизации рынков, развития торговли на принципах открытости и невосприимчивости к внешним воздействиям, а также защиты уязвимых групп населения. Кроме того, в нем убедительно показано, что для решения проблем продовольственной безопасности и питания в долгосрочной перспективе необходимы более эффективные системы работы с данными и устойчивые инвестиции в построение невосприимчивых к внешним факторам агропродовольственных систем. Такие согласованные меры чрезвычайно важны для того, чтобы придать новый импульс действиям по ликвидации голода и неполноценного питания к 2030 году. -
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.
