Journal, magazine, bulletinBulletinAfrica's inland aquatic ecosystems: how they can increase food security and nutrition
Nature & Faune journal, Volume 32, Issue no.2.
2019Also available in:
This special issue which aims to enrich knowledge of the sector all over the African continent, covers the value and contributions of diverse aquatic systems to food security, nutrition and livelihoods. The editorial quantifies the significance of the potential of Africa inland fisheries for food and nutrition and goes significantly beyond food security as narrowly perceived to view it also beyond direct provision of food to include through income and employment. The core issues relevant to successful management of Africa's inland aquatic ecosystems resources include the biological realities of water insufficiency and invasion by water weeds but are also about community participation. -

2020分布式账本技术和智能合约为提高农业部门中价值和信息交换效率、透明度及可追溯性提供了独一无二的机会。分布式账本技术利用数字记录、密码学以及交易处理和数据存储去中介化，可通过多种方式改进农业供应链和农村发展干预措施。该技术能够简化和整合农业供应链、提升食品安全、增加获取贸易融资和其他类型农业金融服务的机会、提高市场透明度、增进土地权属制度的法律确定性，并加强遵守国际农业协定的问责。本文旨在推动深化对农业食品中分布式账本技术机遇、效益和应用的认识，探讨了分布式账本技术通过让弱势市场主体参与一体化供应链，对于解决其诸多挑战的潜力。还明确了采用分布式账本技术的技术局限性、可能的机构障碍以及公共部门的下一步工作。总而言之，本文揭示了分布式账本技术如何能够促进实现可持续发展目标。 -
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.
