Book (series)BulletinPerspectivas de cosechas y situación alimentaria #4, diciembre 2021
Informe trimestral mundial
2022La FAO evalúa que en todo el mundo 44 países −de los cuales 33 están en África, nueve en Asia y dos en América Latina y el Caribe−, necesitan ayuda alimentaria externa. Las condiciones de inseguridad alimentaria son muy preocupantes en algunas partes de África oriental debido a los conflictos y a la sequía, mientras que en África occidental se prevé que la inseguridad alimentaria empeore hasta alcanzar niveles alarmantes en 2022, debido a la escasez de la producción agrícola y a la persistencia de los conflictos. -

Informe trimestral mundial
2021La FAO estima que en todo el mundo 45 países -de los cuales 34 están en África, 9 en Asia y 2 en América Latina y el Caribe-, necesitan ayuda alimentaria externa. Los conflictos y las perturbaciones relacionadas con el clima siguen siendo la causa principal de los elevados niveles de inseguridad alimentaria grave. Los efectos de la pandemia de COVID-19 -sobre todo en términos de pérdida de ingresos-, han acentuado las vulnerabilidades y aumentado los niveles existentes de inseguridad alimentaria. -

Informe trimestral mundial
2023La FAO evalúa que a nivel mundial 45 países –de los cuales 33 están en África, 9 en Asia, 2 en América Latina y el Caribe y uno en Europa–, necesitan ayuda alimentaria externa. Aunque las condiciones de sequía han remitido en África oriental, las perspectivas de producción se mantienen desfavorables en 2023, mientras que los conflictos en varias partes del continente africano agravan la inquietud por la situación alimentaria. A nivel global, El Niño supone una amenaza para la producción agrícola y la seguridad alimentaria en varias regiones, sobre todo en África austral y América central.

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. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion.
