Synopsis (short abstract) This document is part of a set titled "Ten debates on right to food and social protection – Learning from India's experience" that presents the major debates emerged during the development and adoption of the India’s National Food Security Act (2013). This set includes discussions on critical issues that different actors, who wish to develop food security and social protection strategies in their countries, will certainly have to deal with and provides a useful instrument to be used in study gro ups and strategy planning workshops. The Indian case is not presented either as a model to be emulated by other countries nor as a prescription, but rather as a reference and a fit case for a global discussion about state food provisioning as part of a larger framework of social protection. The debates are also available as a set of briefs at the following link: http://www.fao.org/3/a-i4962e/index.html

    What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.

    Insectes comestibles
    Perspectives pour la sécurité alimentaire et l'alimentation animale
    2014
    Also available in:
    Les insectes comestibles ont toujours été au menu des hommes, mais dans quelques sociétés un certain degré de dédain et de dégoût s’oppose à leur consommation. La majorité des insectes consommés sont encore récoltés dans leurs habitats forestiers, mais il existe désormais des systèmes d’élevage dans de nombreux pays. Les insectes représentent une bonne opportunité d’associer connaissances traditionnelles et science moderne afin d’améliorer la sécurité alimentaire partout dans le monde. Cet ouvra ge documente la contribution des insectes à la sécurité alimentaire. Il examine les perspectives d’élevage des insectes à échelle commerciale pour améliorer la production d’aliments destinés aux animaux et aux hommes, pour la diversification des régimes alimentaires et dans le but de contribuer aux moyens de subsistance aussi bien dans les pays en développement que développés. Il présente également les nombreuses utilisations traditionnelles, nouvelles et potentielles des insectes pour la consom mation humaine directe et les opportunités et contraintes liées à leur élevage pour l’alimentation humaine et animale. Il examine l’ensemble des recherches sur des sujets comme la nutrition des insectes et la sécurité des aliments, l’utilisation des insectes dans l’alimentation animale, et la transformation et la conservation des insectes et de leurs produits. Il souligne la nécessité de développer un cadre réglementaire pour régir l’utilisation des insectes à des fins alimentaires. Enfin, il pr opose des études de cas et des exemples du monde entier. Les insectes comestibles constituent une alternative prometteuse à la production conventionnelle de viande, que ce soit pour la consommation directe par l’homme ou pour une utilisation indirecte comme aliments pour les animaux. Pour réaliser pleinement ce potentiel, beaucoup de travail reste à faire par un grand nombre d’intervenants concernés. Ce document aidera à mieux comprendre les nombreux rôles importants que les insectes jouent dans le maintien de la nature et de la vie humaine, et stimulera certainement le débat sur l’expansion de l’utilisation des insectes dans l’alimentation humaine et animale.
