    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In 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.

    Pour améliorer leur compétitivité et le positionnement de leurs produits au niveau international, sept indutriels membres de l’AOTOI ont décidé de gérerau mieux l’impact de leurs opérationssur l’environnement en matière de gestion de la ressource en eau. La mission a eu pour objectifs d’établir un diagnostique précis par opérateur, d’émettre des recommandations de modifications des processus, de définir un calendrier d’exécution afin de gérer au mieux la ressource en eau, d’identifier et de plan ifier la mise aux normes internationales en vigueur en matière de consommation d’eau et de gestion des eaux usées. Le diagnostic initial s’est basé sur un questionnaire ad hoc. Les visites de terrain successives ont permis de chiffrer les consommations, de décrire les processus ayant trait à la ressource en eau, d’estimer les potentiels d’économies et de réutilisations possibles en adaptant les processus industriels, d’identifier les bonnes pratiques et les façons dont les eaux usées sont traité es. Les investissements nécessaires pour réaliser les gains de consommation d’eau ont été identifiés, chiffrés et planifiés dans une feuille de route. Sur base d’un guide de bonnes pratiques environnementales développées par l’UNEP pour l’industrie de la pêche, l’expert a émis des recommandations visant à atteindre des standards internationaux de consommation d’eau. Enfin, sur base de législationa nationales en vigueur et des mesures prises par des laboratoires accrédités indépendants, l’expert a identifié et quantifié les investissements nécessaires pour mettre les sept sites en conformité en matière environnementale.
