Estudios de casos de países en desarrollo
2004En 1999, la FAO dio comienzo a una labor importante destinada a evaluar las repercusiones del Acuerdo sobre la Agricultura (AsA) en el comercio agrícola y la seguridad alimentaria de los países en desarrollo. Se encargaron catorce estudios de casos y se preparó un documento de información general en el que se sintetizaban dichas experiencias y las enseñanzas que dejaban . Ahora la FAO ha actualizado aquel trabajo, basándose en un conjunto más amplio de países y en datos más recientes. Al princip io de 2002 la FAO encargó dieciséis estudios de casos para examinar experiencias nacionales. En algunos casos, los estudios volvieron a tomar países ya incluidos en el muestreo de 1999, pero se aprovechó la oportunidad para ampliarlo con otros países. Aunque el capítulo de la síntesis se refiere a los 23 estudios de casos realizados hasta ahora, en el presente volumen se incluyen solamente los últimos 16 . Estos estudios tratan de ofrecer respuestas a cuatro preguntas relativas a las repercusion es del AsA en los países en desarrollo: • ¿Los compromisos del AsA han inducido a cambios en la política agrícola interna de los países en desarrollo? • ¿Los compromisos del AsA tienen alguna repercusión en las corrientes comerciales (importaciones y exportaciones) de los países en desarrollo? • ¿La aplicación de los compromisos del AsA ha tenido algún efecto en la seguridad alimentaria? • ¿Cuáles son las prioridades y las preocupaciones principales de los países de los estudios de casos en las negociaciones?

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. -
Policy briefPolicy briefOutcomes and lessons learned from the Koronivia UNFCCC negotiations on agriculture and food security, and the way forward after COP 27
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)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.
