Book (series)Technical studyBarazia gjinore, Bujqësia dhe Zhvillimi Rural në Shqipëri
Vlerësim i barazisë gjinore në vend
2016Also available in:
Ky raport nxjerr në pah pabarazitë e mëdha gjinore të nxjerra nga të dhënat e gjetura. Këto pabarazi duhet të merren në konsideratë nga politikëbërësit dhe menaxherët e projekteve të cilët punojnë në fushën e bujqësisë dhe zhvillimit rural. Si i tillë, ky raport nuk është menduar të jetë një raport gjithëpërfshirës përsa i përket pabarazive gjinore në Shqipëri. Për më tepër, hulumtime të tjera në terren janë të nevojshme në një gamë të gjerë fushash, duke përfshirë peshkimin, pyjet, bashkëpunim in e fermerëve lokal dhe kontributin real të grave të PBB, në veçanti duke pasur parasysh rolin e tyre thelbësor në punën e papaguar dhe informale. Fusha të tjera jashtë mandatit të FAO-së janë vetëm përmendur shkurtimisht në këtë raport dhe nuk janë mbuluar plotësisht apo analizuar. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGender-responsive value chain analysis in Albania
Case studies of Elbasan, Leskovik and Puka
2024Also available in:
No results found.Rural women are crucial contributors to Albania's agricultural sector and rural economy. They are actively involved in all stages of agrifood value chains as farmers, producers, processors, and consumers. Yet structural barriers limit their access to economic opportunities, thereby restricting also agrifood value chain sustainable and inclusive development. This publication employs FAO's gender-responsive value chain approach to analyze three case studies from Elbasan, Puka, and Leskovik. It highlights the opportunities for strengthening the role of women producers and processors in value chains and identifies key barriers that hinder women's full participation. Agribusiness incubators are highlighted in the report as innovative solutions designed to meet the specific needs of rural women and promote their economic empowerment. These incubators could play a crucial role in helping women overcome barriers in the agrifood sector, fostering their participation and unlocking new opportunities for the development of specific agrifood value chains. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
