Book (stand-alone)FlagshipEl estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación 2015 (SOFA): La protección social y la agricultura: romper el ciclo de la pobreza rural 2015A pesar de los importantes avances realizados en el cumplimiento de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio sobre la pobreza y el hambre, casi mil millones de personas aún viven en situación de extrema pobreza (menos de 1,25 dólares por persona al día) y 795 millones siguen sufriendo hambre crónica. Habrá que hacer mucho más para alcanzar los nuevos Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible sobre la erradicación de la pobreza y el hambre para el año 2030. La mayor parte de las poblaciones en situación de extrema pobreza vive en zonas rurales de países en desarrollo y depende de la agricultura para su subsistencia. Son tan pobres y están tan malnutridos que sus familias viven en un círculo de pobreza que se transmite de generación en generación. Muchos países en desarrollo están adoptando una nueva estrategia exitosa para romper el ciclo de la pobreza rural: combinar la protección social y el desarrollo agrícola. Las medidas de protección social, como las prestaciones monetarias para las viuda s y los huérfanos y el empleo garantizado para las personas pobres en el marco de los programas de obras públicas, pueden evitar a las personas vulnerables las peores carencias. Pueden permitir a los hogares la mejora o la diversificación de sus dietas. También pueden ayudarles a ahorrar e invertir en sus propias fincas o a emprender nuevas actividades. Los programas de desarrollo agrícola que respaldan las explotaciones familiares en pequeña escala en cuanto al acceso al mercado y la gestión de los riesgos pueden crear oportunidades de empleo y lograr que estas familias sean más autónomas y tengan una mayor resiliencia. La protección social y el desarrollo agrícola, combinados, pueden romper el ciclo de la pobreza rural.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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. -
