ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Regional Capacities to Design and Implement Nutrition-Sensitive Social Protection Programme to Reduce Food Insecurity and Malnutrition - TCP/INT/3701 2021Despite important progress made in the fight against poverty and hunger, significant challenges remain Progress on reducing the incidence of hunger differs from region to region and country to country The four target countries of this project, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Senegal and Zambia, are among those that continue to face persistent poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition In response, they have been experimenting with approaches that seek to link social protection to a variety of sectors, such as agriculture, health and sanitation, with the aim to improve the livelihoods of the poorest and reduce hunger Social protection programmes have proved to be a critical factor in tackling hunger, however, there are important knowledge gaps regarding the operational options of linking them with broader agriculture and Food Security and Nutrition ( interventions, and the results these linkages can achieve As social protection has rapidly expanded in the past two decades, these linkages are yet to be further understood and debated Generating, systematizing and disseminating concrete country knowledge on this approach to nutrition sensitive social protection is therefore an important contribution to national governments and other stakeholders across regions Against this background, the governments of the above mentioned four target countries requested that FAO support them to design and implement improved nutrition sensitive social protection interventions, and to assist them in moving towards more integrated approaches to tackle FSN and reduce poverty.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookAliments pour les Villes. Politiques d’Approvisionnement et de Distribution Alimentaires pour Réduire l’Insécurité Alimentaire Urbaine
Guide à l’intention des Maires, des Conseillers municipaux et des Planificateurs
2000Dans les pays en développement et en transition, outre l’augmentation du nombre de ménages démunis, c’est le problème de nourrir les villes qui est le défi à relever pour les pouvoirs locaux. L’objectif de ce guide est de faire comprendre aux maires, aux conseillers municipaux et aux planificateurs urbains, ainsi qu’aux spécialistes de la production alimentaire, du développement des marchés, de la santé publique, de l’environnement, et de l’économie forestière et agro-forestière, qu’il est urgen t d’élaborer des programmes et des politiques d’approvisionnement et de distribution alimentaires. Dans leurs villes, les ménages les plus démunis pourraient ainsi avoir accès aux aliments à un coût réduit et l’investissement privé serait encouragé. Ce guide passe en revue le rôle joué par les collectivités locales dans le domaine de l’approvisionnement et de la distribution alimentaires aux niveau régional, métropolitain, urbain et local et indique toutes les étapes nécessaires à la formulation , la mise en oeuvre et le suivi des interventions requises. Enfin, il souligne qu’il est nécessaire de bien comprendre les conditions locales et propose une approche interdisciplinaire, intersectorielle et participative dans le but d’obtenir des solutions durables, préalable à la sécurité alimentaire des villes et à une collaboration effective entre les différentes institutions et organisations. Pour prendre des décisions durables, l’engagement direct du secteur privé est alors essentiel. -

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. -

FAO and partners set example for regional collaboration
2019Also available in:
No results found.The FAO-led Integration of Amazon Protected Areas (IAPA) project marks the first time that an EC‑funded intervention in Regional Latin America and the Caribbean has utilized FAO’s Operational Partners Implementation Modality (OPIM). Through OPIM, FAO has been able to make the best use of expertise available on the ground, strengthen national and local ownership of interventions and increase the sustainability of results. Close collaboration on the ground – including numerous in person meetings – between FAO and its Operational Partners - the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) - proved to be a key factor in the success of the project. Early video conferences helped to ensure clarity of both FAO and EC requirements. Site visits from FAO to Operational Partner offices gave the Organization invaluable knowledge of the partners’ accounting systems and controls. All parties were actively contributing to the strategic and operational development of their respective organization’s programmes. Importantly, the lessons learned by Operational Partners throughout this process will continue to benefit their operations in future interactions with the EC and other donors. -
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.
