No results found.Agricultural growth and productivity remain central to poverty reduction This is particularly true in Nepal, where agriculture employs two thirds of the labour force and provides almost one third of the gross domestic product Agricultural production is dominated by subsistence crop subsectors, with farms adopting a mixed farming system of crops, livestock, and agroforestry These sectors could be instrumental in rescuing the country from poverty if existing subsistence agriculture practices were transformed into modernized and profitable production systems Realizing the huge potential of the sector, the Government has developed and enforced an Agriculture Development Strategy 2015 2035 designed to increase women’s ownership and rights over land, to invest in improved farming practices, technology and mechanization, and to strengthen the opportunities for farmer groups and cooperatives to access credit and services. -

No results found.Timor-Leste ranks among the top ten countries most vulnerable to natural disasters, according to a 2017 World Risk Report. Approximately 80 percent of the Timorese population has personally witnessed the consequences of a natural disaster during their lifetime. The country's vulnerability is heightened by a significant lack of institutional and community capacities for coping with and adapting to such events. Findings from the European Union pro-resilience project's (UNJP/GLO/058/EC) 21 village-level hazard, livelihood and vulnerability assessments (HLVAs) reveal that vulnerable communities face multiple risks, including droughts, floods, strong winds, pests, landslides, crocodile attacks and forest fires. Climate change projections for Timor-Leste indicate potential impacts, such as increased crop loss and failure, a decrease in suitable farming land, reduced livestock productivity, diminished water supply and declining water quality.

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. -
