FAO in the 2019 humanitarian appeals
2019Also available in:
No results found.Conflict, political instability and insecurity have fuelled the protracted crisis in Libya, impacting individuals and families as well as the country’s economy and institutions. Resulting waves of displacement have further affected households’ ability to withstand additional shocks, while diminished purchasing power and disrupted markets have made resilience and recovery increasingly difficult. Increased engagement in agriculture can play a vital role in supporting resilience, allowing households to better adapt to future shocks. In 2019, FAO requires USD 3 million to assist 298 000 people. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileSouth Sudan | Humanitarian Response Plan 2020 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Almost half the population of South Sudan are currently suffering from severe acute food insecurity immediately after the harvest period, a situation driven by conflict related livelihood disruptions, climatic shocks, displacement, the economic crisis and prolonged dry spells at critical stages of crop growth.The potential arrival of the desert locust, which is currently ravaging the Horn of Africa in the worst infestation in 25 years, could further threaten the food security of the country. The South Sudan 2020 Humanitarian Response Plan highlights calls for those in urgent need of assistance to be reached before their circumstances deteriorate further, threatening the situation particularly in areas likely to receive returnees, where access is difficult, or where harvests are predicted to be poor.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookImproving diets and nutrition: food-based approaches 2014
Also available in:
No results found.The International Symposium on Food and Nutrition Security: Food-based Approaches for Improving Diets and Raising Levels of Nutrition was organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to better document the contribution that food and agriculture can make to improving nutrition. These proceedings are a useful resource for decision and policy makers, programme planners and implementers, and health workers, all of which work to combat hunger and malnutrition . Likewise, they will have appeal for professionals in the field of food security, nutrition, public health, horticulture, agronomy, animal science, food marketing, information, education, communication, food technology and development. They are also designed as a useful complementary source for graduate and postgraduate courses on: public health; human nutrition (including education and communication courses); community nutrition; international nutrition; food and nutrition security policies, i nterventions and programmes; nutrition considerations in agricultural research; and the integration of nutrition into food and agriculture. The publication benefits from the contributions of world-renowned international experts as well as FAO’s Departments and Divisions on the linkages between nutrition and agriculture and on nutrition-sensitive agriculture and food-based approaches. Sadly, Professor Michael Latham, who was one of the founders of the field of international nutrition that deals w ith the nutrition problems of developing countries, and one of the promoters of food-based approaches, died about 4 months after the symposium took place; his contribution to this publication,being one of his last works, is a fitting tribute to his memory. -
