MeetingMeeting documentRapport sur les résultats du Colloque de la région Asie et Pacifique sur les systèmes alimentaires durables au service d'une alimentation saine et d'une meilleure nutrition 2018The Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), World Food Programme (WFP), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and South Asia Food and Nutrition Security Initiative (SAFANSI) of the World Bank, organized the “Asia and the Pacific Regional Symposium on Sustainable Food Systems for Healthy Diets and Improved Nutrition”. The symposium was organized as a regional follow-up to the FAO/WHO International Symposium on the same theme, which took place in December 2016 at FAO headquarters, Rome. The objective of the meeting was to share experiences and evidence of policies and interventions in agriculture and food systems with a potential to contribute to positive nutritional outcomes. The symposium called upon all stakeholders to create synergies between global, regional and national actions outlined in relevant policy frameworks, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Framework for Action of the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) and the United Nations Decade of Action on Nutrition, as well as related national multisector action plans and non-communicable diseases work plans. It also called upon UN agencies to jointly implement concrete actions to support the countries in achieving their food security and nutrition agenda. The outcomes of the deliberations are summarized in this information note.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAnalyse des pertes alimentaires: causes et solutions
Études de cas sur le sorgho, le maïs, le niébé au Burkina Faso
2019Also available in:
No results found.Deux études ont été conduites au Burkina Faso pour une analyse approfondie des pertes après-récolte et de leurs causes le long des chaînes d’approvisionnement (CA) du sorgho, du maïs et du niébé. La première étude sur le terrain des pertes après-récolte a été conduite entre les mois d’octobre 2015 et d’avril 2016 dans trois régions du pays. Deux chaînes d’approvisionnement ont été sélectionnées par région: celle du commerce classique de céréales, et celle organisée autour des organisations faitières de producteurs. La réplication de cette étude s’est déroulée entre les mois de novembre 2016 et d’avril 2017 et a concerné les chaînes d’approvisionnement organisées autour de l’UGCPA dans la Boucle du Mouhoun pour le sorgho, de l’UPPA/Houet dans les Hauts Bassins pour le maïs, et de l’AFDR dans le Nord pour le niébé. L’objectif de l’étude est d’estimer les pertes qualitatives et quantitatives le long des chaînes d’approvisionnement du sorgho, du maïs et du niébé, de mettre en évidence les points critiques de pertes et d’identifier les principales causes des pertes. De plus, il s’agit d’identifier les solutions appropriées, réalisables et durables, les meilleures pratiques et les stratégies de réduction des pertes après-récolte. La réplication de la première étude vise à comparer les résultats obtenus sur deux années consécutives, à compléter les informations qui n’ont pas pu être collectées au cours de la première étude, et à essayer de mieux comprendre les différences éventuelles et les causes (occasionnelles et structurelles). -
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.
