Les femmes déplacent des montagnes
2022Les femmes jouent un rôle clé dans la protection de l’environnement et le développement économique et social des zones de montagne. Elles sont souvent les gestionnaires principales des ressources de la montagne, les protectrices de la biodiversité, les gardiennes des connaissances traditionnelles, les dépositaires des cultures locales et les spécialistes de la médicine traditionnelle. La variabilité croissante des conditions climatiques, couplée au manque d’investissements dans l’agriculture de montagne et le développement rural, a souvent poussé les hommes à migrer ailleurs à la recherche d’autres moyens de subsistance. Les femmes s’acquittent donc de plusieurs tâches autrefois réservées aux hommes, mais les femmes de montagne sont souvent invisibles en raison d’un manque de pouvoir décisionnel et d’un accès inégal aux ressources. En tant qu’agricultrices, vendeuses, femmes d’affaires, artisanes, entrepreneuses et cheffes de communauté, les femmes et les filles de montagne, en particulier dans les zones rurales, ont le potentiel d’être des agents majeurs du changement. Lorsque les femmes peuvent profiter des ressources, des services et des occasions, elles deviennent un moteur important de la lutte contre la faim, la malnutrition et la pauvreté rurale, et elles s’engagent dans le développement des économies de montagne. La Journée internationale de la montagne 2022 offre une occasion de sensibiliser les esprits à la nécessité de rendre les femmes de montagne autonomes pour leur permettre de participer de manière plus efficace aux processus décisionnels et d’avoir un meilleur contrôle des ressources productives. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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. -

Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.
