MeetingMeeting documentСовещание "за круглым столом" на уровне министров по "Нулевому голоду 2018ФАО поставила перед собой цель добиться нулевого голода. Азиатско-Тихоокеанский регион может прийти к этой цели, реализовав Повестку дня на период до 2030 года и ЦУР 1, 3 и 3. На данном совещании будет представлена информация о результатах, предпринимаемых на региональном уровне усилий по реализации инициативы "Нулевой голод", прежде всего успехах в достижении ЦУР 2, которых ФАО удалось добиться в сотрудничестве со Всемирной продовольственной программой (ВПП) и Международным фондом сельскохозяйственного развития (МФСР). В настоящее время в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе остро стоят такие сложные проблемы, как голод и неполноценное питание во всех его проявлениях: недоедание, дефицит питательных микроэлементов и ожирения. Недавние публикации и мероприятия ФАО – Азиатско-Тихоокеанский региональный обзор по вопросам продовольственной безопасности и питания 2017 года; Тихоокеанская сельскохозяйственная неделя, состоявшаяся в Порт-Виле, Вануату, в октябре 2017 года; и Азиатско-Тихоокеанский симпозиум о роли устойчивых продовольственных систем в обеспечении здорового рациона и улучшении качества питания, состоявшийся в Бангкоке в ноябре 2017 года – позволили взглянуть на эти проблемы по-новому. Опираясь на информацию, приведенную в этих публикациях, и результаты работы упомянутых мероприятий, на совещании планируется организовать обсуждение извлеченных уроков, имеющихся недочетов и возможностей по более эффективной реализации на региональном уровне последующих усилий по достижению нулевого голода. Основное внимание в ходе обсуждения будет посвящено обеспечению нулевого голода в регионе и путям решения этой задачи.

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. -
Book (series)Technical studyEnhancing the inclusiveness of agro-commodity procurement zones in Ethiopia – National poverty profile
FAO Agricultural Development Economics Technical Study No. 15
2021Also available in:
No results found.Identifying the pathways through which agricultural investments can be sustainable and inclusive requires assessments of the poverty, livelihoods and food security situation of the populations likely to be affected by such investments. This technical study provides the first in-depth look at rural areas in Ethiopia using the 2018/19 Ethiopian Socio-economic Survey, analyzing the national trends in poverty among rural households along the dimensions of economic inclusion and social sustainability. The study offers an initial characterization of poor and food-insecure people in the country and gives indications of key characteristics that may identify the poorest and most vulnerable groups, analyzed through the lens of the key features of the investments in Ethiopia’s newly developed Agro-Commodity Procurement Zones (ACPZs). The profile complements existing poverty analyses undertaken for Ethiopia, providing an analysis of poverty that is relevant to the investments in ACPZs and agriculture more broadly. Specific emphasis is placed on agricultural production regimes, especially those related to the priority commodities of the ACPZs and their relevance in terms of food and nutrition security. The constraints faced by specific population groups of interest, including rural women and youth, are also identified to inform questions concerning the inclusiveness of investments in ACPZs. Adequate attention to the issues raised in this technical study, complemented with territorial-level investigations, will serve as a basis for developing a knowledge base and targeting tools and interventions that can be operationalized by stakeholders in these investment areas. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
