Book (stand-alone)FlagshipПоложение дел в области продовольствия и сельского хозяйства 2013 2013Проблема недоедания во всех ее проявлениях недостаточное питание, дефицит питательных микроэлементов, избыточный вес и ожирение ведет к недопустимо высоким экономическим и социальным издержкам во всех странах, независимо от уровня доходов. В докладе Положение дел в области продовольствия и сельского хозяйства за 2013 год: продовольственные системы для обеспечения полноценного питания указывается, что для улучшения питания и снижения этих издержек начинать следует с продовольствия и сельского хозяйства. Сельское хозяйствo традиционно играет основополагающую роль в производстве продовольствия и обеспечении дохода, но сельское хозяйство и продовольственная система в целом от производства, переработки, хранения и транспортировки сельскохозяйственной продукции до ее продажи и потребления могут внести гораздо более ценный вклад в искоренение проблемы недоедания.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2019
Safeguarding against economic slowdowns and downturns
2019This year’s report presents evidence that the absolute number of people who suffer from hunger continues to slowly increase. The report also highlights that food insecurity is more than just hunger. For the first time, the report provides evidence that many people in the world, even if not hungry, experience moderate food insecurity as they face uncertainties about their ability to obtain food and are forced to compromise on the quality and/or quantity of the food they consume. This phenomenon is observed globally, not only in low- and middle-income countries but also in high income countries. The report also shows that the world is not on track to meet global nutrition targets, including those on low birthweight and on reducing stunting among children under five years. Moreover, overweight and obesity continue to increase in all regions, particularly among school-age children and adults. The report stresses that no region is exempt from the epidemic of overweight and obesity, underscoring the necessity of multifaceted, multisectoral approaches to halt and reverse these worrying trends. In light of the fragile state of the world economy, the report presents new evidence confirming that hunger has been on the rise for many countries where the economy has slowed down or contracted. Unpacking the links between economic slowdowns and downturns and food insecurity and malnutrition, the report contends that the effects of the former on the latter can only be offset by addressing the root causes of hunger and malnutrition: poverty, inequality and marginalization. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTackling Climate Change through Livestock
A global assessment of emissions and mitigation opportunities
2013As renewed international efforts are needed to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the livestock sector can contribute its part. An important emitter of greenhouse gas, it also has the potential to significantly reduce its emissions. This report provides a unique global assessment of the magnitude, the sources and pathways of emissions from different livestock production systems and supply chains. Relying on life cycle assessment, statistical analysis and scenario building, it also prov ides estimates of the sector’s mitigation potential and identifies concrete options to reduce emissions. The report is a useful resource for stakeholders from livestock producers to policy-makers, researchers and civil society representatives, which also intends to inform the public debate on the role of livestock supply chains in climate change and possible solutions. -
