DocumentOther documentFAO Port State Measures Agreement - Human resource development 2010Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing is fuelled and supported by IUU fishers transshipping, landing and laundering their illicit catches. It continues to be a profitable activity. Profitability will not diminish until it becomes more difficult for IUU fishers to move their catches ashore and sell them. Blocking catch flows to markets will require harmonized regional cooperation to implement port State measures.

No results found.National and regional efforts to conserve and manage fish stocks are undermined by illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, which consequently inhibits progress towards the sustainability in the fisheries sector that is aimed for under SDG 14 (Life below water). To fight, deter and ultimately end this type of fishing, an international framework made up of a series of instruments and tools has been developed. The most important of these is the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA). This Project, which was designed to support FAO’s Global Programmeon the implementation of the PSMA, aimed to improve the capacity of fisheries sector stakeholders in Colombia and Panama to effectively implement port state measures (PSMs) as well as other complementary measures and tools, and to carry out monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) operations to combat IUU fishing. -

BookletManual / guideGuide to formulating gendered social norms indicators in the context of food security and nutrition 2022
Also available in:
At present, there is no standard or validated set of social norms indicators for food security and nutrition, and there is a general lack of clear and practical guidance and examples of such indicators for these sectors. Seeking to contribute to filling this gap, this guide will assist with formulating indicators to measure changes in gendered social norms in the context of food security and nutrition. It also offers an initial set of example indicators that programme implementers can draw on to assess social norms change in the context of food security and nutrition programmes. It draws from existing indicators from literature and programme experiences around measuring social norms, including in other sectors, and creates original indicators as well. This guide is designed for programme formulators and implementers, and monitoring and evaluation specialists responsible for creating and implementing M&E frameworks and systems for food security, agriculture and nutrition programmes. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge.
