Migración rural
2018La migración es parte del proceso de desarrollo y puede contribuir a lograr la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, aunque los beneficios tangibles y las oportunidades se maximizan cuando se implementan políticas adecuadas y se garantizan condiciones de trabajo decentes. La relación entre migración, seguridad alimentaria y nutrición es compleja y muy específica del contexto. Por un lado, la inseguridad alimentaria y nutricional es una de las causas principales de la migración fuera de las áreas rurales, junto con otros factores socioeconómicos. Por otro lado, la migración puede tener diferentes impactos, positivos o negativos, en las cuatro dimensiones de la seguridad alimentaria. El fortalecimiento de la coherencia de las políticas es fundamental para aprovechar el potencial de desarrollo de la migración para la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. En particular, las intervenciones en materia de políticas deben reducir la presión para emigrar, abordar las causas fundamentales de la migración y garantizar movimientos de personas seguros, ordenados y regulares. Esta nota de orientación ilustra los cambios de políticas que han demostrado ser exitosos para asegurar una mayor sinergia entre las agendas de políticas de migración rural y seguridad alimentaria y nutrición. -

Nota de Orientación sobre Politícas No. 5. Cambio climático
2018Cambio climático: Los eventos climáticos extremos están aumentando en frecuencia e intensidad, amenazando a los sectores agrícolas y los medios de subsistencia. Al afectar los agroecosistemas, el cambio y la variabilidad climáticos tienen implicaciones socioeconómicas en los medios de subsistencia y la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional de los más vulnerables. Por otro lado, los sectores agrícolas también son importantes emisores de gases de efecto invernadero. Esta nota tiene como objetivo servir como material de orientación para asesores de políticas y formuladores de políticas que se enfrentan al desafío de garantizar la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición frente al cambio climático y los eventos climáticos extremos.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -
