Booklet
Towards sustainable food and nutrition security in Latin America and the Caribbean in response to the global food crisis 2022

The most recent spike in international food prices began in the middle of 2020, driven mainly by the behaviour of the prices of vegetable oils and cereals. Pandemic-induced inflationary pressure was expected to be transitory. However, the war in Ukraine has caused further ruptures in key productive chains, such as energy and fertilizers. This has not only prevented inflation from returning to its pre-pandemic levels but has accelerated it significantly in the first seven months of 2022. This publication presents the most important messages related to this crisis.

The Near East and North Africa region faces several intersecting challenges that have increased fragility, threatened resilience and exacerbated already high levels of acute food insecurity and malnutrition, including famine risk in Yemen. These include scarcity of water and arable land, climate change and climate-related disasters, conflict, land degradation, increasing population growth, and transboundary animal and plant pests and diseases. As a heavily import-dependent region, the agrifood sector has also been severely affected by increases in prices of basic food items and agricultural inputs, exacerbated by the current economic shocks, including those caused by COVID-19. This has worsened the food security situation, especially for already vulnerable families. In 2021, conflict remained the main driver of food insecurity in the region. The three conflict-affected countries in the region (the Sudan, the Syrian Arab Republic and Yemen) were among the top ten countries with the highest number of people in crisis or worse (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification [IPC] Phase 3 and above) levels of food insecurity in the world. This publication gives an overview of the emergency and resilience activities implemented in the Near East and North Africa in 2021.
