Book (stand-alone)Technical bookProgramme Faim Zéro: L'expérience brésilienne 2013Dans les années 30, Josué de Castro était parvenu à la conclusion que la faim au Brésil était la conséquence de distorsions entraînées par un modèle de développement qui exploitait les pauvres et leur barrait l’accès aux avantages économiques. À la fin du vingtième siècle, l’économie brésilienne était en pleine expansion mais le fossé entre riches et pauvres ne cessait de se creuser et, sur une population de 170 millions d’habitants, 44 millions étaient pris dans l’engrenage de la faim. Trop pauvres pour acheter les aliments indispensables à une vie saine, ces personnes n’avaient aucune possibilité de participer à la prospérité croissante du pays. Le programme Faim Zéro a été lancé par le Président Lula en 2003, dans le but d’améliorer la situation grâce à l’introduction d’un nouveau modèle de développement, centré sur l’éradication de la faim et l’inclusion sociale et s’appuyant sur la jonction de la politique macroéconomique, de la politique sociale et de la politique de production. Il s’efforça de conférer à cette initiative un véritable caractère national, en s’assurant la participation la plus vaste possible de la population brésilienne.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe FOME ZERO (Zero Hunger) Program
The Brazilian experience
2011The launching of the “Zero Hunger Project – a proposal for a food security policy for Brazil” in October 2001 by the then candidate for the presidency Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva reflected the maturing of discussions and proposals on food security and fighting hunger, which became national priorities to be addressed through planned and decisive actions of the State with social participation. With the electoral victory of President Lula in 2003, the Zero Hunger project became the ma in governmental strategy guiding economic and social policies in Brazil and marked the beginning of an inflection that left behind an old dichotomy between them. Actions began to be taken to integrate structural policies into emergency policies to fight hunger and poverty. New, differentiated policies for family farming were implemented and basic legislation was built for the national food and nutrition security policy. This book is part of the NEAD Debate Series (Série NEAD De bate) and it presents some fundamental texts for one to understand the Brazilian experience with the Zero Hunger Program at different moments of its implementation over an eight-year period as a Government Program, bringing together reflections on different aspects of the process, such as the mobilization of different segments of society around it, the role of family farming, advances and challenges, among others. -

Also available in:
No results found.Zero Hunger’s strategy combines short ‐ term responses to emergency situations with medium ‐ and long ‐ term responses that help create the necessary conditions for families to guaranteeing their own food security. Additionally, it recognizes that the needs of people living in rural and urban areas differ and offers a specific set of interventions for each case. This is in line with the “twin ‐ track approach” recommended by FAO in the 1996 World Food Summit and endorsed by the Comprehensive Fr amework of Action of the UN’s Secretary General High ‐ Level Task Force on the Global Food Security Crisis.

Factsheet
2013Twenty-six percent of the planet's ice-free land is used for livestock grazing and 33 percent of croplands are used for livestock feed production. Livestock contribute to seven percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions through enteric fermentation and manure. In developed countries, 90 percent of cattle belong to six breed and 20 percent of livestock breeds are at risk of extinction. -

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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTackling Climate Change through Livestock
A global assessment of emissions and mitigation opportunities
2013As renewed international efforts are needed to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the livestock sector can contribute its part. An important emitter of greenhouse gas, it also has the potential to significantly reduce its emissions. This report provides a unique global assessment of the magnitude, the sources and pathways of emissions from different livestock production systems and supply chains. Relying on life cycle assessment, statistical analysis and scenario building, it also prov ides estimates of the sector’s mitigation potential and identifies concrete options to reduce emissions. The report is a useful resource for stakeholders from livestock producers to policy-makers, researchers and civil society representatives, which also intends to inform the public debate on the role of livestock supply chains in climate change and possible solutions.
