Synopsis (short abstract) This guide provides a complete overview of the FAO GISMGR 2.0 Web User Interface (Web UI), the application designed to manage and publish geospatial raster data through an intuitive, browser-based environment. While GISMGR 2.0 also offers APIs for programmatic interaction, the Web UI allows users to perform the same core functions without needing advanced coding skills. In this manual, you will find detailed instructions on how to navigate the platform, create and manage workspaces, users, and roles, and organize resources such as maps, mapsets, mosaicsets, dimensions, grids, and styles. It also explains how to upload and process data through cloud storage buckets, apply styles for visualization, and preview results directly within the application. Acquiring this knowledge is particularly valuable for data providers, managers, and GIS specialists who need to collaborate in a shared environment, ensuring that datasets are properly ingested, styled, stored, and made accessible to others. The manual also covers system messages, permissions, and user profile management, helping you operate securely and efficiently. Ultimately, this guide equips you with the framework to use GISMGR 2.0 Web UI not just as a storage tool, but as a collaborative geospatial management system – enabling effective data sharing, visualization, and integration to support agriculture, environment, and sustainable development initiatives.

    This guide provides the API reference documentation for GISMGR 2.0, the FAO system designed to import, manage, share, and publish GIS raster data. It describes in detail the REST API endpoints available, including their functions, parameters, and expected responses, offering a complete framework for interacting programmatically with the system. Through this guide, you will learn how to authenticate requests, manage workspaces and users, configure data storage, create and update styles, and publish raster maps. It also explains how to handle cloud storage buckets, define roles and permissions, and work with Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs), ensuring that your data are properly managed and integrated into the platform. Acquiring this knowledge is particularly valuable for developers, system administrators, and advanced data managers who need to automate workflows, integrate external applications, or customize how geospatial data are published and shared. By mastering these APIs, you can move beyond the graphical user interface and gain precise control over data ingestion, styling, and dissemination. Ultimately, this reference enables you to fully exploit the power of GISMGR 2.0 as a scalable and interoperable environment for geospatial data management, supporting collaboration, innovation, and evidence-based decision-making.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
    Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
    2025
    Also available in:
    While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030.
