    The State of Food and Agriculture 2021
    Making agrifood systems more resilient to shocks and stresses
    2021
    The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerability of agrifood systems to shocks and stresses and led to increased global food insecurity and malnutrition. Action is needed to make agrifood systems more resilient, efficient, sustainable and inclusive.The State of Food and Agriculture 2021 presents country-level indicators of the resilience of agrifood systems. The indicators measure the robustness of primary production and food availability, as well as physical and economic access to food. They can thus help assess the capacity of national agrifood systems to absorb shocks and stresses, a key aspect of resilience.The report analyses the vulnerabilities of food supply chains and how rural households cope with risks and shocks. It discusses options to minimize trade-offs that building resilience may have with efficiency and inclusivity. The aim is to offer guidance on policies to enhance food supply chain resilience, support livelihoods in the agrifood system and, in the face of disruption, ensure sustainable access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to all.

    世界食料農業白書 2021年報告―要約版
    ショックやストレスに対する農業・食料システムのレジリエンスを高めるために
    2022
    FAOの報告書『The State of Food and Agriculture 2021』の要約版を翻訳・刊行しました。 新型コロナウイルスのパンデミックは、農業・食料システムのショックやストレスに対する脆弱性を露呈し、世界的な食料不安と栄養不良の増加をもたらしました。農業・食料システムをよりレジリエンスがあり、効率的で、持続可能かつ包括的なものにするための行動が求められています。 本書では、農業・食料システムのレジリエンスに関する国レベルの指標を提示しています。この指標は、一次生産と食料の入手可能性、および食料への物理的・経済的アクセスを測定するものであり、レジリエンスの重要な側面である、各国の農業・食料システムが持つショックおよびストレスの吸収能力を評価するのに役立つものです。 本書は、食料サプライチェーンの脆弱性と、農村世帯がリスクとショックにどのように対処しているかを分析するとともに、レジリエンスの構築によって、効率性と包摂性とのトレードオフをいかに最小限に抑えるかについても論じています。そして、食料サプライチェーンのレジリエンスを高め、農業・食料システムにおける生計を支え、混乱に直面してもすべての人に十分で安全かつ栄養のある食料への持続的なアクセスを確保する政策についての手引きを提供しています。

    El Niño: Anticipatory Action and Response Plan, October 2023–March 2024
    Mitigating the expected impacts of El Niño-induced climate extremes on agriculture and food security

    The latest forecasts point to a greater than 80 percent chance of El Niño continuing through March–May 2024, following declaration of the onset of El Niño conditions in early July 2023 by the World Meteorological Organization. The strength is expected to be comparable to the top six strongest events in recorded history, increasing the likelihood of extreme weather and climate hazards, ranging from drought to floods and storms. By disrupting rainfall and temperature patterns, El Niño may strongly impact agriculture, rural livelihoods and food security. Such early warnings clearly call for early action. FAO’s El Niño Anticipatory Action and Response Plan requires urgent funding to deliver immediate support in a number of identified countries around the world, based on analysis of historical trends, latest seasonal forecasts, agricultural seasonality and the vulnerability of populations at risk.
