Book (stand-alone)BulletinPerspectivas de cosechas y situación alimentaria - No1 marzo 2012 2012El primer pronóstico de la FAO relativo a la producción mundial de trigo en 2012 se cifra en 690 millones de toneladas, 10 millones de toneladas menos que el volumen récord del año pasado, pero todavía la segunda cosecha mayor. El nivel de la superficie plantada sigue siendo elevado en respuesta a las perspectivas favorables para los precios, pero se supone que los rendimientos volverán a la media tras los niveles excelentes obtenidos en algunos países. n Los precios internacionales de los cer eales se afirmaron en las últimas semanas debido a la escasez de los suministros de trigo y a las preocupaciones por el impacto del frío riguroso imperante en Europa y la CEI. También aumentaron los precios del maíz, impulsados principalmente por una demanda de importaciones más sólida en Asia, favorecida por un dólar más débil as� como por las preocupaciones acerca de las perspectivas para las cosechas en América del Sur. Los precios del arroz, sin embargo, siguieron estando bajo una presión a la baja debido a una demanda de importaciones generalmente débil y a una animada competencia entre los exportadores...

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
Also available in:
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022
Repurposing food and agricultural policies to make healthy diets more affordable
2022This year’s report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks) combined with the high cost of nutritious foods and growing inequalities will continue to challenge food security and nutrition. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively.
