DocumentOther documentGestion durable des forêts au service de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition. Rapport du Groupe d’experts de haut niveau sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition du Comité de la sécurité alimentaire mondiale. Septembre 2017 2017En octobre 2014, à sa quarante et unième session, le Comité de la sécurité alimentaire mondiale (CSA) a demandé au Groupe d’experts de haut niveau sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition (HLPE) d’entreprendre une étude sur le thème de la gestion durable des forêts au service de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition, en vue d’éclairer les débats du Comité à sa quarante-quatrième session plénière (octobre 2017). La question porte essentiellement sur les contributions multiples des forêts et des arbres aux quatre dimensions de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition1, et sur la façon d’optimiser ces contributions à diverses échelles spatiales et temporelles face à l’accroissement de demandes concurrentes exercées sur les terres, les forêts et les arbres (notamment le bois, les aliments, l’énergie et les services écosystémiques) et face au changement climatique. Le présent rapport, qui repose sur des données factuelles, offre une analyse complète des contributions des forêts et des arbres à la sécurité alimentaire et à la nutrition. Le Chapitre premier examine les liens entre les forêts et la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition et propose, aux fins du présent rapport, un cadre conceptuel et un classement des forêts par type, fondé sur des critères de gestion. Le chapitre 2 fournit une analyse approfondie des canaux par lesquels les forêts et les arbres contribuent à la sécurité alimentaire et à la nutrition. Le chapitre 3 examine l’état des forêts dans le monde et re cense les défis et les possibilités en matière de gestion forestière, sous l’angle de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition. Le Chapitre 4 est axé sur les solutions et examine la manière d’optimiser les contributions des forêts et des arbres à la sécurité alimentaire et à la nutrition d’une manière durable.

Also available in:
No results found.The SWSR is a reference document on the status of global soil resources that provides regional assessments of soil change. The information is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, complemented with expert knowledge and project outputs. It provides a description and a ranking of ten major soil threats that endanger ecosystem functions, goods and services globally and in each region separately. Additionally, it describes direct and indirect pressures on soils and ways and means to combat s oil degradation. The report contains a Synthesis report for policy makers that summarizes its findings, conclusions and recommendations.The full report has been divided into sections and individual chapters for ease of downloading:

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition.
