Developments in national healthy and sustainable dietary guidelines: a state of play assessment
2016Our food system and consumption practices have, since prehistoric times, shaped and transformed our world and our societies. There have been enormous advances - in agricultural practice and in systems of storage, distribution and retailing – that have enabled population growth and improved diets for many. But these developments have also carried severe costs. While the tools and actions needed to achieve the necessary changes in diets are many, this report specifically considers the role of national level dietary guidelines in providing a steer on what dietary patterns that are both healthy and sustainable look like. -

Also available in:
No results found.Migration is a growing and complex global phenomenon. The links between migration, agriculture and climate change are complex. While the impacts of climate change on agriculture and food security are relatively well established, the cascading effects of climate change on migration and its consequences for agriculture have not been adequately assessed and addressed. There is a need to summarize current understanding of migration, agriculture and climate change nexus, and highlight the challenges and opportunities of rural migration as an adaptation strategy to climate change. This information will be useful to strengthen the context specific policy responses of countries facing this particular challenge especially to harness the potential of migration. In addition, there is a need to highlight field examples potentially contributing to address the migration challenge under climate change by reducing vulnerability and enhancing resilience. The options and mechanisms for promoting collaborative actions to respond to climate-related drivers of migration are crucial. In this context, a book on migration, agriculture and climate change focusing on the complex nexus, opportunities and challenges of migration as a coping and adaptation strategy and context specific responses will be timely. Migration is a growing and complex global phenomenon. The links between migration, agriculture and climate change are complex. While the impacts of climate change on agriculture and food security are relatively well established, the cascading effects of climate change on migration and its consequences for agriculture have not been adequately assessed and addressed. This book summarizes the current understanding on migration, agriculture and climate change nexus, and highlights the challenges and opportunities of rural migration as an adaptation strategy to climate change, and importance of context specific policy responses to harness the potential of migration. A section in this book elaborates FAO's potential contribution addressing migration challenges under climate change with field level examples. The book stresses the need to promote collaborative actions to respond to climate-related drivers of migration and presents ongoing collaboration with partners and FAO’s current and future role in Global Migration Group (GMG).
