DocumentFactsheetImproving food security in Myanmar - TCP/MYA/3502 2018There is increasing recognition of the role of livestock in sustaining and supporting poor peoples’ livelihoods and nutritional status, but the livestock sector in Myanmar is dominated by smallholder producers who keep few animals under traditional production and management systems. Husbandry practices for livestock are low input and fairly basic. The adoption of proper feeding and husbandry practices and utilization of locally available feed and fodder resources is crucial for ensuring the productivity of animals. This project was implemented to strengthen the technical, managerial and policy capacity of public and private stakeholders and overcome critical gaps in the ability to develop appropriate animal feeding strategies, so as to improve milk and meat production.

ProjectFactsheetImprovement of Data Collection on Fisheries and Aquaculture Production: Pilot System for the Yangon Region - TCP/MYA/3601 2020

No results found.Reliable and detailed fishery statistics are a key todeveloping sound policies, better decision-making andresponsible fisheries management. Such information isalso essential for assessing the validity of fisheries policyover the years and for tracking the performance offisheries management. For some years, FAO has noted aconstant and impressive increase of capture andaquaculture production officially reported by Myanmar.Marine catches reported in 2013 were 5.5 times those in1996 and inland water catch statistics have grown at arate of 15.5 percent per year since 1999. Speciesbreakdown of capture fishery statistics is very poor,however, with marine catches reported by only threehighly aggregated species items and no breakdown beingmade for inland water catches. Following an FAO missionin November 2014, recommendations were made toimprove Myanmar’s data collection system for fisheriesstatistics. Given the size of the country, it was decided todevelop a pilot project in the Yangon Region in order totest and gain experience on the structure and constraintsof the new data collection system. After the local pilotphase, the system would be extended to the nationallevel.

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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
