Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFAO´s role in supporting the implementation of the Comprehensive Rural Reform for the realization of peace in Colombia 2016
Also available in:
No results found.FAO has played an important role in supporting the Colombian Government in the implementation of comprehensive rural development. Along with the European Union and civil society organizations, FAO has been asked by the Government to help implement the Peace Accord 1 regarding the Comprehensive Rural Reform. While the peace accord was not approved in the recent plebiscite, integrated rural reform remains as a priority government policy. The session will discuss the content of the Comprehensive Rural Reform (that was part of the Peace Agreement 1), strategies to promote comprehensive rural development and the role of FAO and other partners in supporting this process and scaling up ongoing related initiatives, with a view to strengthening the link between peace and food security. Consequently, the discussion will focus on the following themes: a. Access to land and tenure security and their relevance to build the nueva ruralidad in Colombia, particularly to strengthen family agricultur e and ultimately, promote food security. b. The integration of the Voluntary Guidelines into the new policy and institutional framework regarding land, forests and fisheries to promote the Comprehensive Rural Reform, including the strengthening of the National Land Agency. c. How the international community (i.e. the UN system, donors and partners) can effectively contribute to the development of the Comprehensive Rural Reform and of territorial development plans and ultimately, to strengthening peace in Colombia. -
BookletCorporate general interestColombia: Impact of Early Warning Early Action
Boosting food security and social cohesion on the frontline of the migration crisis
2019Also available in:
The intensity and frequency of natural hazards and conflicts are increasing, and they are leaving in their wake an unprecedented level of humanitarian needs. Natural hazards alone occur nearly five times as often today as 40 years ago. The number of people displaced by conflict, meanwhile, is the highest ever recorded, and millions more are driven to migrate out of necessity. However, support at the right time can protect and empower people, giving them the confidence to keep going or to resume their livelihoods. Investing in early action means FAO can help shelter longer-term development gains and strengthen resilience. This study analyses the outcomes of monitoring early warning signs related to drought and mass migration and taking targeted early actions in northern Colombia between 2018 and 2019. It evaluates their effectiveness and quantifies the benefits of acting early. -

Also available in:
No results found.In Colombia, six out of ten conflict-affected households are food insecure and 26 percent of the population do not manage to eat three meals a day. Extreme weather events, armed violence, and the significant influx of refugees and migrants from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela continue to exacerbate vulnerabilities. Most communities identify food as their main need, particularly in rural areas where agricultural assistance is needed urgently.

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. -

Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
