Book (stand-alone)BulletinPerspectives de récoltes et situation alimentaire - No.5 décembre 2008 2008Alors que l'année touche à sa fin, les dernières estimations de la FAO confirment que la production céréalière mondiale a atteint un nouveau record en 2008, qui suffira à couvrir l'augmentation de l'utilisation attendue en 2008/09 et permettra aussi une modeste reconstitution des réserves mondiales. L'accroissement de la production constaté cette année a surtout été le fait des pays développés, les pays en développement n'enregistrant que des hausses modestes. Dans le groupe des pays en dév eloppement, les résultats sont quelque peu en hausse dans les pays à faible revenu et à déficit vivrier, notamment ceux où les pouvoirs publics ont appuyé la production agricole....

Book (stand-alone)BulletinPerspectives de récolte et situation alimentaire - No. 4 décembre 2011 2011Tandis que l’année 2011 touche à sa fin, les dernières estimations de la FAO confirment une production céréalière mondiale record, ce qui devrait être suffisant pour couvrir la hausse de l’utilisation prévue pour 2011/12 et pour reconstituer légèrement les réserves mondiales. n En novembre, les cours mondiaux des céréales ont continué de subir des pressions à la baisse, avec la confirmation de la forte reprise de la production sur fond de perspectives économiques mondiales moroses et d’a ppréciation du dollar américain...

Book (stand-alone)BulletinPerspectives de récoltes et situation alimentaire - No. 6, décembre 2007 2007Les premières perspectives de la récolte de blé de 2008 sont favorables. Alors que les semis de blé d’hiver sont presque achevés dans l’hémisphère nord, les dernières estimations laissent entrevoir une augmentation importante des emblavures totales, en réaction aux prix élevés et à la suppression du gel obligatoire des terres pour 2008 dans l’Union européenne, principal producteur mondial. Les dernières prévisions de la FAO quant à la production céréalière mondiale de 2007 ont été revues à la baisse à 2 101 millions de tonnes, ce qui constitue toujours un niveau record et une hausse sensible par rapport à l’année dernière. L’essentiel de l’accroissement est imputable aux céréales secondaires, en particulier au maïs des États-Unis. Dans le groupe des PFRDV, la production céréalière ne devrait progresser que légèrement en 2008. Toutefois, si l’on exclut les pays les plus importants (Chine et Inde), la production céréalière totale des pays restants enregistre un recul significat if.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates 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. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
