    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
    Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
    2025
    While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030.

    No results found.

    This 2025 edition of the GFCM flagship publication The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries presents the most comprehensive and up-to-date review of fisheries and aquaculture status and trends in the Mediterranean and Black Sea region. The sixth installment of this report is the most ambitious to date and comes as a result of an unprecedented collaborative effort across the region. It reflects incremental scientific work, strengthened monitoring and significant innovations in data collection and analysis. The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries 2025 expands temporal coverage and incorporates new data on both fisheries and aquaculture, providing a clear and accurate picture of trends and challenges across the region and assessing progress towards the targets set by the GFCM 2030 Strategy for sustainable fisheries and aquaculture in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The report begins with an overview of aquatic food systems in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, before diving into a detailed analysis of capture fisheries production, bycatch and the status of fisheries resources in Chapters one through three. Chapter four explores the rapidly expanding aquaculture sector in the region. Chapter five examines the human dimension of fisheries and aquaculture through socioeconomic data and Chapters six and seven highlight the measures taken and the efforts needed to secure the sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture in the region. This report aims to provide objective, accurate and complete information to support evidence-based decision-making, monitor progress towards sustainability goals and inspire renewed commitments.
