Journal, magazine, bulletinBulletinPacific Island countries: Impact of rising costs of food, feed, fuel, fertilizer and finance Bulletin, June 2023 | Issue #2 2023
Also available in:
No results found.This bulletin follows the release of the first report (published in November 2022) on the ways in which the indirect impact of rising wheat prices and increased energy and transport costs are affecting Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS), significantly threatening their abilities to advance national food systems transformation pathways. As people in the Pacific struggle with covering the costs of rising food and fuel prices, their food security and livelihoods are put at further risk. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the World Food Programme (WFP) and other United Nations agencies, supported ten Pacific SIDS government authorities in increasing their technical capacity to analyze, predict, plan, and respond to the impacts of the global crisis of food, energy and finance on national food systems. The joint initiative aimed at strengthening data collection and analysis, government capacity and cooperation with international financial institutions (IFIs) and development partners to understand, predict and respond to the impact of the war in Ukraine on agriculture and food security. This bulletin provides an updated analysis of the ongoing trends reflecting the unfolding impacts of the food, feed, fuel, fertilizer and finance (5F) crisis on agrifood systems in the Pacific throughout 2022. Whereas the trends highlighted in the former bulletin are continuing in the first quarter of 2023, Pacific SIDS governments have implemented measures to tackle inflation and to support their economies and populations’ livelihoods. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureRole of fish in food security in selected Pacific Island Countries 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Pacific Small Island Countries (PICs) are unique in terms of geographical location, isolated and have limited diversity of food. Fish is the main source of protein. Although the amount and type of fish consumed varies based on factors such as geographical location and socio-economic status. Average national fish consumption ranges between 55 kg to 110 kg per person per year. This is almost 3–6 times the average global consumption of <20 kg per person per year. There are few challenges including limited data on fish consumption trend, poor cold chain management, depletion of fish resources and food safety.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
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. -
DocumentManual / guideGuide for planning and conducting mid-term reviews of FAO–GEF projects and programmes
FAO–GEF project monitoring tool
2020This publication provides guidance on planning, formulating and conducting the mid-term reviews (MTRs) of projects and programmes implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) that have received grant financing from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Trust Fund and other funds managed by the GEF Secretariat, such as the Least Developed Country Fund (LDCF) and the Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF). Its main aim is to help streamline and standardize the approach to and process for undertaking MTRs of FAO–GEF projects, to improve understanding of the requirements at various stages of the MTR process and to clarify the tasks, roles and responsibilities of the various parties involved in FAO–GEF project MTRs.
