    Fortalecimiento de sistemas alimentarios sostenibles en países de América Latina y El Caribe - GCP/RLA/225/BRA 2022

    En la región de América Latina y el Caribe existen dos fenómenos vinculados a los sistemas alimentarios, y que tienen un impacto directo sobre la salud de su población: la persistente subalimentación, que se estima aproximadamente en 39.3 millones de personas que no cuentan con la cantidad suficiente de alimentos para cubrir sus necesidades calóricas diarias; y los emergentes fenómenos de sobrepeso y obesidad, que afecta aproximadamente a un 7 por ciento de la población menor de cinco años, y supera el 20 por ciento en adultos. En dicho contexto, el objetivo del proyecto fue abordar una inadecuada gobernanza público privada de las políticas referidas a los sistemas alimentarios en los países de la región, con el fin de promover el desarrollo de medidas más inclusivas y sensibles a la nutrición. De modo que el proyecto, buscó estimular cambios en aspectos clave para mejorar el funcionamiento de los actuales sistemas alimentarios, mediante innovaciones en materia de políticas públicas y gobernanza, que corrigieran factores que redundan en dificultades para el acceso físico, económico y disponibilidad de alimentos saludables de toda la población, centrándose en territorios cuya población presenta un rezago en su desarrollo socioeconómico.

    Soil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
    Also available in:
    Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
    Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
    2020
    Also available in:
    Updates 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.

    The SWSR is a reference document on the status of global soil resources that provides regional assessments of soil change. The information is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, complemented with expert knowledge and project outputs. It provides a description and a ranking of ten major soil threats that endanger ecosystem functions, goods and services globally and in each region separately. Additionally, it describes direct and indirect pressures on soils and ways and means to combat s oil degradation. The report contains a Synthesis report for policy makers that summarizes its findings, conclusions and recommendations.
