BookletFAO in Latin America and the Caribbean 2022 2023
Also available in:
In 2022, Latin American and Caribbean countries proved that even during one of the most demanding periods in recent history, it is possible to drive better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind. The results included in this document are important but partial examples of our work. Despite this complex situation, the Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) proved to be up to the task, responding optimally and delivering extraordinary results based on the new FAO strategic framework and the priorities established in early 2022 by the 33 Member States during the 36th FAO Regional Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean held in Quito, Ecuador. This report presents a detailed list of the projects and initiatives carried out in 2022, as well as the documents published during this period based on the four “betters” promoted by FAO, which account for the progress made in our region to achieve better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind. -
Book (series)Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2024
Building resilience to climate variability and extremes for food security and nutrition
2025Also available in:
Latin America and the Caribbean have seen a decline in hunger and food insecurity for two years, driven by social protection programs and post-COVID recovery. However, disparities persist, especially among women, rural populations, and vulnerable groups. The region is unlikely to meet most nutrition targets, and healthy diets remain expensive. Climate variability is increasing in the region, affecting food security across availability, access, utilization, and stability. This climate impact reduces agricultural productivity, disrupts food supply chains, and raises food prices. Vulnerable populations are most affected, with changing diets further exacerbating the situation. Climate change is worsening food security and the causes of malnutrition. -
