Las mujeres mueven montañas
2022Las mujeres desempeñan un papel fundamental para la protección del medio ambiente y el desarrollo social y económico en las zonas montañosas. Suelen ser las principales administradoras de los recursos de las montañas, guardianas de la biodiversidad, detentoras de los conocimientos tradicionales, custodias de la cultura local y expertas en medicina tradicional. La variabilidad climática en constante aumento, a la par de la falta de inversión en la agricultura de montaña y el desarrollo rural, a menudo han inducido a los hombres a emigrar hacia otros lugares en busca de medios de vida alternativos. Por tanto, las mujeres han asumido muchas tareas que antes realizaban los hombres, pero las mujeres de las montañas a menudo son invisibles debido a la falta de poder de decisión y al acceso desigual a los recursos. Como agricultoras, vendedoras del mercado, empresarias, artesanas, emprendedoras y líderes comunitarias, las mujeres de las montañas, en particular en las zonas rurales, tienen el potencial de ser importantes impulsoras del cambio. Cuando las mujeres rurales tienen acceso a recursos, servicios y oportunidades, se convierten en una fuerza impulsora contra el hambre, la desnutrición y la pobreza rural y participan activamente en el desarrollo de las economías de las montañas. El Día Internacional de las Montañas 2022 es una oportunidad para crear conciencia sobre la necesidad de empoderar a las mujeres de las montañas para que puedan participar de manera más efectiva en los procesos de toma de decisiones y tener más control sobre los recursos productivos.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
2025While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. -

Book (stand-alone)FAO strategy / plan / policy / roadmapUnited Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 - Global Action Plan 2019Agriculture today faces increasing pressure to provide sufficient, affordable and nutritious food for a growing population, cope with climate change and the degradation of natural resources, including water scarcity, soil depletion, and biodiversity loss. Pervasive inequalities between rural and urban areas have led to an unprecedented level of urbanization. To feed the world and do it sustainably, an urgent and radical shift in our food systems is necessary. To be effective, transformative actions must address a complex set of interconnected objectives encompassing economic, social and environmental dimensions. Family farmers are at the heart of this issue. They provide the majority of the world’s food, are the major investors in agriculture and the backbone of the rural economic structure. The Global Action Plan of the UNDFF provides detailed guidance for the international community on collective, coherent and comprehensive actions that can be taken to support family farmers. It outlines a comprehensive approach to support efforts to achieve the SDGs, in the context of the progressive realization of the Right to Adequate Food. Designed around seven mutually reinforcing pillars of work, the Global Action Plan recommends a series of interconnected actions from the local to the global level. Any interventions developed during the decade must always consider the diversity of family farmers. They should be context-specific, adapted to regional, national, local socio-cultural and socio-economic conditions. To guarantee the success of the UNDFF, all actions should place family farmers at the center and be implemented through bottom-up, participatory and inclusive processes.
