MeetingMeeting documentThe High Level Panel of Experts On Food Security and Nutrition Report on Sustainable Forestry for Food Security and Nutrition. Twenty-seventh Session of the Asia-Pacific Forestry Commission
Colombo Sri Lanka, 23-27 October 2017
2017Also available in:
No results found.In October 2014, at its 41st session, the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) requested the High Level Panel of Experts (HLPE) to prepare a study on sustainable forestry for food security and nutrition (FSN) to inform the debates at the 44th CFS Plenary Session of October 2017. The key issue here is the multiple contributions of forests and trees to FSN2 in its four dimensions and how they can be optimized, at different spatial and temporal scales, in a context of increasing and competing dem ands on land, forests and trees (including for wood, food, energy and ecosystem services), as well as of climate change. This report is an evidence-based, comprehensive analysis of the diverse, direct and indirect, contributions of forests and trees to FSN. Chapter 1 examines the linkages between forests and FSN and proposes, for the purpose of this report, a conceptual framework and a forest typology grounded on management criteria. Chapter 2 provides an in-depth analysis of the channels throug h which forests and trees contribute to FSN. Chapter 3 reviews the state of the world’s forests and identifies challenges and opportunities for forestry in relation to FSN. Chapter 4 is solution-oriented and discusses how to optimize the contributions of forests and trees to FSN in a sustainable manner.

Book (stand-alone)Corporate general interestUltra-processed foods, diet quality and human health 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The significance of industrial processing for the nature of food and the state of human health - and in particular the techniques and ingredients developed by modern food science and technology - is generally underestimated. This is evident in both national and international policies and strategies designed to improve populations' nutrition and health. Until recently it has also been neglected in epidemiological and experimental studies concerning diet, nutrition and health. This report seeks to assess the impact of ultra-processed food on diet quality and health, based on NOVA, a food classification system developed by researchers at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureClimate change and nutrition: Policy and research roundtable dialogue on integrated climate–nutrition action, 5 February 2025 2025
Also available in:
In the framework of the project GCP/GLO/1266/FRA-F, in collaboration with the Government of France, FAO organized a climate–nutrition roundtable entitled “Policy and Research Roundtable Dialogue on Integrated Climate–Nutrition Action” on 5 February 2025. The event brought together approximately 1 300 participants, both in person and online, and featured distinguished speakers, including Permanent Representatives, government officials, leading researchers, and senior officials from UN agencies and civil society organizations. Over the course of three hours, a joint keynote presentation shared the latest data, metrics, and evidence on the impact of integrated climate-nutrition action followed by rich discussions exploring key policy options and opportunities and research themes.This brochure presents the key take-home messages from the keynote presentations and panel discussions, complemented by selected quotes from event speakers. The key take-home messages highlight the evidence base on climate change and nutrition linkages, the impact of integrated climate–nutrition actions, positive experiences and promising practices, as well as evidence gaps identified by speakers, providing a concise and impactful summary of the roundtable’s key insights to advance integrated actions across the climate, agrifood, and nutrition sectors.
