Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLa sécheresse au Maghreb: diagnostic, impacts et perspectives pour le renforcement de la résilience du secteur agricole 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Le présent rapport vient contribuer aux efforts des Nations Unies et de ses agences pour renforcer la résilience du secteur de l’agriculture face aux effets sévères de la sècheresse, doublée des effets du changement climatique et de son impact sur la survenue des extrêmes climatiques sèches. La sécheresse est un phénomène à plusieurs dimensions - météorologique, hydrologique, agricole et socio-économique -, dont le couplage avec la rareté de l’eau exacerbe la désertification et la dégradation des écosystèmes. Les observations réalisées sur l’histoire des évènements secs dans la région du Maghreb montrent que ce phénomène de sécheresse est en passe de devenir structurel et non plus une crise exceptionnelle et ponctuelle. Ce qui appelle à une réponse de fond et proactive, de manière à construire une agriculture adaptée et des communautés résilientes. La sécheresse de ces dernières années, a touché tout le Maghreb et s’est prolongée depuis l’année 2015 à début 2023 de manière intermittente. Elle a lourdement impacté les économies des pays et les niveaux de production des cultures pluviales stratégiques, principalement les céréales, ainsi que les ressources en eau disponibles pour l’irrigation et les écosystèmes naturels. Ces caractéristiques de la sécheresse sont communes aux pays du Maghreb, qui présentent un socle socioculturel, et des conditions climatiques et hydrologiques similaires. De même, les solutions développées pour atténuer les impacts de la sécheresse ou s’y adapter sont très comparables dans l’histoire de la région. -

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 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. -
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.
