Book (stand-alone)Technical reportPerspectivas alimentarias - No. 1 abril 2004 2004El sistema mundial de información y alerta sobre la alimentación y la agricultura está realizando un examen de la publicación perspectivas alimentarias con el fin de mejorar la calidad y oportunidad de la información. En 2004 se publicarán cuatro números, comenzando con éste. Los siguientes saldrán en junio, septiembre y noviembre. Aunque ya en este número se han introducido algunos cambios en la estructura de la sección dedicada a los cereales, durante el año se continuará tratando de aume ntar el contenido y mejorar la estructura y presentación de la publicación.

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportPerspectivas Alimentarias - No. 2 Abril 2003 2003El primer pronóstico de la FAO relativo a la producción mundial de cereales en 2003 es de 1 895 millones de toneladas, 62 millones de toneladas más que la mala cosecha de 2002 y un volumen superior a la media de los últimos cinco años. Se pronostica un incremento del orden del 4 por ciento en las producciones de trigo y cereales secundarios, a 591,5 millones de toneladas y 908 millones de toneladas, respectivamente, mientras que para la cosecha de arroz (elaborado) se prevé una recuperación de u n 2 por ciento a alrededor de 395 millones de toneladas. El pronóstico relativo a la utilización en 2002/03 se ha rebajado, cifrándose ahora en un nivel marginalmente inferior al del año anterior. La contracción se debe principalmente a disminuciones previstas en la utilización de cereales forrajeros. De confirmarse las previsiones, sería el primer año en que el consumo total de cereales se apartaría de la tendencia ascendente que predominó desde 1995. Pese a esta falta de crecimiento de la utilización, la disminución de las reservas mundiales de cereales necesarias para cubrir el déficit entre la producción y el consumo en 2002/03 debería de alcanzar un volumen enorme de casi 108 millones de toneladas. En 2001/02, los envíos totales de ayuda alimentaria en cereales descendieron a 7,4 millones de toneladas, o sea 2,2 millones de toneladas menos que en la campaña anterior, y el nivel más bajo desde 1997/98, debido a una disminución que afectó a casi todas las regiones. ...

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportPerspectivas alimentarias - No.3, septiembre 2005 2005El pronóstico de la FAO relativo a la producción mundial de cereales de 2005 se ha revisado ligeramente a la baja desde el informe anterior de junio. Aunque inferior al volumen sin precedentes de 2004, todavía se espera que la producción mundial de cereales sea superior a la media de los últimos cinco años. Se prevé una disminución de la producción de trigo y cereales secundarios pero la de arroz alcanzará un nivel alto sin precedentes.

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
