Cuadernos de trabajo sobre el derecho a la alimentación 8. En este cuaderno se presentan algunos de los aspectos en los que el presupuesto público es un factor importante para el reconocimiento del derecho a la alimentación y se aborda la realización de acciones de incidencia política a partir del análisis de los presupuestos públicos. El contenido de este cuaderno de trabajo está basado en la guía “Presupuestar para promover el derecho a la alimentación”. El trabajo sobre el presupuesto puede ser una herramienta muy útil para que las organizaciones de la sociedad civil, los legisladores y las comisiones de derechos humanos puedan incidir en la realización del derecho a la alimentación, ya que el presupuesto es el modo más real y objetivo de medir el compromiso de un gobierno con el reconocimiento del derecho a la alimentación. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAnálisis de los marcos jurídicos en materia de alimentación escolar: El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras y Nicaragua 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Partiendo del presupuesto que la alimentación escolar vincula una multiplicidad de ámbitos normativos que no requieren necesariamente estar regulados en un único instrumento jurídico, el presente estudio considera deseable la adopción de una legislación que reconozca el derecho de los niños, niñas y adolescentes al acceso a los alimentos en cantidad y calidad adecuada en el ámbito escolar. Para el análisis de los marcos jurídicos en materia de alimentación escolar en El Salvador, Guatemala, Hond uras y Nicaragua (países del CA-4), este estudio ha identificado una serie de objetivos regulatorios cuya normativa se considera necesaria para poder contar con un marco jurídico completo en materia de alimentación escolar. Resalta la necesidad de regular todos los ámbitos jurídicos de relevancia para la adecuada implementación de estos programas y de garantizar la coherencia entre las diferentes normas que regulan la materia.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
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.
