The Southern African Development Community is made up of 16 Member States The region continues to battle against the triple burden of malnutrition undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and overnutrition The principal causes of malnutrition are inadequate diet and diseases such as HIV and non communicable diseases According to the Joint Malnutrition Estimates of 2021 all countries in the region are classified as having high or very high levels of stunting Wasting and overweight are also of public health concern, with six countries having wasting at above 5 percent and three countries having overweight at above 10 percent Food insecurity is prevalent According to the SADC synthesis report for 2021 based on data submitted by ten countries in the region, around 47 6 million people are food insecure Because of the high level of food insecurity, most diets are cereal based and limited in dietary diversity The lack of diversity has also contributed to the high levels of micronutrient deficiencies in the region All countries have over 20 percent prevalence and many are off track according to the Global Nutrition Report The consequences of malnutrition include restricted physical and cognitive development of individuals, often leading to poor social and economic development Governments have a responsibility to create an enabling environment that encourages consumers to make healthy food choices and access high quality diets, thereby reducing healthcare costs and improving productivity and economic development In recognition of the importance of an integrated approach, SADC developed a Food and Nutrition Security Strategy 2015 2025 to support SADC Member States in addressing food insecurity and malnutrition The FNSS was endorsed and adopted by the SADC Council of Ministers in August 2014 This project was implemented within the larger framework of the SADC FNSS, based on the gaps identified by the Member States. -

No results found.This report addresses a key result area of the SmartFish programme. Component 4 identifies a ‘Trade Readiness Document (TRD)’ as the main output in this context. From the points of view of generating regional value added and to support food security, intra-regional trade in fish products should be encouraged and expanded. The TRD study aims to assist the process of enhancing regional trade in fish products by improving Trade Readiness in the 20 SmartFish countries. The report is, however, a pilo t study based on work in four selected countries. The findings would then be used to design and carry out a full study of the 20 countries based on an adapted Trade Readiness Questionnaire (TRQ). The main activities included discussions with public sector authorities that constitute the trade enabling environment, and interviews with the private sector operators active in the fish product value chain. Region Economic Communities (RECs) such as COMESA and IOC have been consulted regarding strateg ic visions, to ensure that the outcome of the TRD study is in tandem. Additional information and ideas have been extrapolated from other SmartFish interventions and from broader assessments made by international bodies to deepen context. -

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
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.
