    PROGRAMME DE LUTTE CONTRE LA FAIM
    Une action sur deux fronts pour lutter contre la faim: les mesures à prendre en priorité dans les pays et au niveau international
    2003
    Also available in:
    La production alimentaire mondiale est aujourd’hui largement suffisante pour assurer à tous une alimentation adéquate, pourtant 840 millions de personnes – soit près d’une sur sept – ne mangent pas à leur faim. La plupart d’entre elles vivent en Asie du Sud et en Afrique subsaharienne. Le fait que la faim soit aujourd’hui encore un problème de masse défie toute logique. A l’échelle mondiale, on dispose des techniques nécessaires pour que les agriculteurs continuent à produire des quantités excéd entaires de nourriture, raison pour laquelle, avec le changement rapide des habitudes alimentaires, l’obésité est aujourd’hui l’un des problèmes de santé dont l’incidence s’accroît le plus rapidement tant dans les pays riches que dans le monde en développement. Des systèmes d’information nous permettent de savoir où la nourriture manque, et nous disposons des moyens nécessaires pour transporter rapidement les vivres partout dans le monde. L’existence de la faim dans un monde d’abondance n’est pas seulement un scandale moral, c’est aussi le résultat de politiques économiques à courte vue. Ceux qui ne mangent pas à leur faim ne peuvent travailler correctement, ils étudient difficilement (si tant est qu’ils soient scolarisés), ils tombent facilement malades et meurent jeunes. La faim est un mal qui se transmet de génération en génération, car les mères sous-alimentées donnent le jour à des enfants malingres dont les capacités physiques et mentales sont amoindries. La productivité des in dividus, mais aussi la croissance de nations tout entières sont sévèrement compromises par la faim généralisée. La faim engendre le désespoir, et les personnes affamées sont la proie facile de ceux qui cherchent à imposer leur pouvoir par le crime, la force ou la terreur, déstabilisant les nations et la planète. Il est donc dans l’intérêt de chacun, riche ou pauvre, de combattre la faim.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In 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.
