Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFAO/INFOODS Density Database Version 2.0 (2012) 2012
Also available in:
No results found.FAO/INFOODS prepared this database to provide a tool for researchers and professionals to convert volume into weight and vice-versa. Data were collected from the literature, various national food composition tables and measurements conducted by the authors (see bibliography). Version 1.0 included density data for 214 food entries in 16 food groups from six sources and version 2.0 includes 638 foods entries in 20 food groups from 11 sources. For version 2, in addition to density data it was decid ed to also present data on specific gravity and to define the terms used. The data presented in this database are divided between density (including mass density and bulk density) and specific gravity. Like version 1.0, the data can be downloaded in Excel format from the INFOODS website. French version of this publication "Base de données FAO/INFOODS sur la densité. Version 2.0 (2015)" is published under job number i3057 -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022
Repurposing food and agricultural policies to make healthy diets more affordable
2022This year’s report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks) combined with the high cost of nutritious foods and growing inequalities will continue to challenge food security and nutrition. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureThe 3 pillars of Climate-Smart Agriculture and the Sustainable Development Goals
Synergies and Trade-offs
2019Also available in:
No results found.This flyer provides an overview of the potential of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as described in the FAO publication, on assessing the mapping of CSA and the SDGs and taking into account the interlinked nature of SDGs and countries’ commitments to climate action, in particular the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The flyer is dividied into two main parts. In the first, the visual mapping shows how the three pillars of CSA provide synergies and trade-offs across each of the 17 SDGs. The second part, shows how the five steps for CSA implementation overlap in synergies and trade-offs across the 17 SDGs.
