Book (stand-alone)Food Insecurity in the Horn of Africa 2010
Also available in:
No results found.More than 40 percent of the population in the Horn of Africa ( H oA ) is undernourished and millions are food insecure. Those suffering most from food insecurity are subsistence farmers, pastoralists and agro-pastoralists whose livelihoods largely depend on agriculture and animal production. Counting between 15 to 20 million people in the HoA, pastoralist communities live mainly in arid and semi-arid low lands and particularly suffer from droughts, as not only do they s ee their food consumption reduced, they also risk to loose their assets. With limited food and water availability, animals produce less milk, are more prone to diseases and their mortality incidence increases. -

Strategic Objective 1 brief
2015Also available in:
No results found.Over the past two decades, leaders worldwide have made various pledges to reduce hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition. At the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) in 2014, world leaders renewed their commitment to establish and implement national policies aimed at eradicating malnutrition and transforming food systems to make nutritious diets available to all. Many countries have made good progress towards their commitments and are on track to meet the Millennium Development G oal hunger targets. Nevertheless, much remains to be done. With the MDGs coming to an end, 805 million people still suffer from chronic hunger, 161 million children under five remain chronically malnourished and over 2 billion people are affected by micronutrient deficiencies. It is time that the global community takes more decisive actions to address the structural causes of hunger and malnutrition in addition to addressing immediate needs. Strengthening the commitment of all stakeholders for a food-secure world and supporting them in turning commitment to action is the essence of the FAO strategy through its Strategic Objective 1 (SO1). -
DocumentNew Business Models to Help Eliminate Food and Nutrition Insecurity
Roadmap for Exploration
2013Also available in:
No results found.This paper will explore the hypothesis that food manufacturers can deliver nutrition solutions to help eliminate global food and nutrition insecurity. The hypothesis will be tested by examining three interrelated aspects of the food and nutrition insecurity problem: (1) the statistics and grim consequences of hunger and malnutrition; (2) the obstacles that often present roadblocks for business to effectively utilize its range of expertise and capabilities to successfully market nutritious produc ts to needy people in developing countries; and (3) the lack of successful experiences by food companies in building new business models to deliver market-based nutrition solutions.
