ProjectFactsheetDevelopment of National Land Banks for Improved Food and Nutrition Security and Land Administration in Grenada, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines - TCP/SLC/3602 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The Eastern Caribbean is faced by crucial issues related to its food and nutrition security, including lands left idle or underutilized, high food import bills, a lack of land use planning to protect agricultural land and high levels of rural youth unemployment The governance of land tenure in the region is impeded by a lack of comprehensive and current databases This delays the process of selecting available land, surveying and allocating subdivided holdings to available farmers The absence of data and the lenience of the state towards informal and illegal occupants of land may also cause reluctance on the part of private landowners to submit their land to such a process In order to promote sustainable agriculture production at national level, enhance food and nutrition security, and support the sustainable management of rural lands, in particular idle and underutilized lands, the project aimed to develop National Land Banks in Grenada, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines The establishment of land banks would help to ensure that lands are leased to landless persons who are genuinely interested in agriculture In particular, they have the potential to be a driving force for the involvement of youth in agriculture and rural development, as well as contributing to sustainable land management ( and good governance of land tenure through improved land administration To this end, the project would also build the capacity of staff of the land administration divisions in each country to manage and operate the land banks Overall, the project was expected to contribute significantly to increasing food production, SLM and rural development in the three countries. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -

Brief note
2023Also available in:
No results found.The Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) was established at COP23 to address six topics in the agricultural sector's role in climate change. KJWA has contributed to sharing scientific and technical knowledge, but limitations remain in translating outcomes into concrete climate actions. The new four-year joint work on the implementation of climate action on agriculture and food security, which prioritizes ending hunger and considers national circumstances, includes the creation of an online portal for sharing information. The four-year agenda is shaped and broadened through the submission of views by parties, observers, and civil society and will be considered by SBSTA and SBI in June 2023. -
Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge.
