Book (series)Flagship2012年世界粮食不安全状况
经济增长很有必要，但不足以加快减缓饥饿及 营养不良
2012《2012年世界粮食不安全状况》在经过改良的全新方法基础上，对营养 不足人口数量做出了新的估算。新的估算数字表明，过去20年在减轻饥饿方 面所取得的进展已经超出预计，而且只要加大努力，我们完全有可能于2015 年在全球范围内实现“千年发展目标”下的减轻饥饿目标。然而，长期营养 不足人口的数量仍然高得让人难以接受，因此消除饥饿依然是一项严峻的全 球性挑战。 今年的报告还探究经济增长在减轻营养不足问题上所发挥的作用。当经 济增长能帮助贫困人口增加就业和创收机会时，才能发挥最有效作用。可持 续农业增长往往能有效地惠及贫困人口，因为多数贫困和饥饿人口都居住在 农村地区，并主要以务农为生。然而，增长不一定意味着所有人的营养水平 都能得到提高。有些政策和计划能带来“注重营养”的增长，如那些能支持 饮食多样化、帮助人们更好地获得安全饮用水、环境卫生和医疗服务、为消 费者提供充足营养和育儿措施等方面教育的政策和计划。 经济增长需要经过一段时间才能惠及贫困人口，而且可能无法惠及其中 最贫穷的那部分人口。因此，社会保护对于尽快消除饥饿起着关键作用。此 外，社会保护如能合理构建，还有助于促进经济增长，因为它有助于开发人 力资本，帮助农民管理风险，采纳改良技术。最后，要想在减轻饥饿方面取 得快速进展，政府就必须采取行动，在透明、参与、问责、法治和人权基础 上构建的治理体系下，提供关键的公共产品及服务。 -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
