    Options for encouraging, guiding and promoting the realization of Farmers’ Rights as set out in Article 9 of the International Treaty 2023
    Also available in:
    Farmers feed the world, by producing the food on which we all depend. Since farmers are the developers and custodians of crop diversity in the field, their rights in this regard are critical to maintain their pivotal role in providing food security and nutrition – never more so than in the current era of climate change and other major challenges facing humanity. The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources (International Treaty) is the first legally binding international agreement to formally recognize the contribution of local and Indigenous communities and farmers to the conservation and development of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. Article 9 of the International Treaty provides for the recognition, realization and promotion of Farmers’ Rights as they relate to plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. Farmers’ Rights can be realized through a series of measures and practices that can be put in place to protect, promote and realize these rights. The promotion and realization of these rights enable farmers and farming communities to continue performing their role as developers and custodians of crop diversity, and to feed the world for the generations to come.This publication presents the “Options for encouraging, guiding, and promoting the realization of Farmers' Rights, as set out in Article 9 of the International Treaty". It contains 27 options developed by an expert group, drawing on the experiences of Contracting Parties and stakeholders. Contracting Parties and interested stakeholders are invited to consider the full range of options for implementing Farmers' Rights at the national level, in accordance with their needs and priorities and as appropriate.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024
    Financing to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms
    2024
    Also available in:
    Six years from 2030, hunger and food insecurity trends are not yet moving in the right direction to end hunger and food insecurity (SDG Target 2.1) by 2030. The indicators of progress towards global nutrition targets similarly show that the world is not on track to eliminate all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2). Billions of people still lack access to nutritious, safe and sufficient food. Nevertheless, progress in many countries provides hope of the possibility of getting back on track towards hunger and malnutrition eradication. Implementing the policies, investments and legislation needed to revert the current trends of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition requires proper financing for food security and nutrition. Despite a broad agreement on the urgent need to increase financing for food security and nutrition, the same cannot be said for a common understanding regarding how this financing should be defined and tracked. The report provides a long-awaited definition of financing for food security and nutrition and guidance for its implementation. There are recommendations regarding the efficient use of innovative financing tools and reforms to the food security and nutrition financing architecture. Establishing a common definition of financing for food security and nutrition, and methods for its tracking, measurement and implementation, is an important first step towards sustainably increasing the financing flows needed to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, and to ensure access to healthy diets for all, today and tomorrow.

    تسببت الإمدادات الوفيرة والتنافس القوي على التصدير في الإبقاء على أسعار الحبوب منخفضة على المستوى الدولي، حيث بقيت معدلات عروض أسعار القمح والذرة في يناير/كانون الثاني أدنى بكثير من مستويات نظيرتها قبل عام. كما سجلت أسعار الأرز على المستوى الدولي اتجاهات خليطة تبعاً لمنشئها وفي الجنوب الأفريقي، سجلت أسعار الذرة ارتفاعاً حاداً في ملاوي وجنوب أفريقيا، كما ارتفعت في زامبيا، لتصل إلى مستويات قياسية في البلدان الثلاثة خلال يناير/كانون الثاني، ما يعكس بشكل رئيس التوقعات بتراجع حاد في حصاد الذرة لعام 2 016 نتيجة ظروف الجفاف إلى جانب محدودية إمداد الأسواق المحلية. كما أسفر تراجع قيمة العملات في المنطقة دون الإقليمية عن تفاقم حالة ارتفاع الأسعار في أمريكا الجنوبية، بقيت أسعار الحبوب تحت ضغط تسبب في زيادتها خلال يناير/كانون الثاني لتصل إلى مستويات مرتفعة في عديد من البلدان، لاسيما بفعل تراجع قيمة العملات الوطنية. ففي الأرجنتين والبرازيل، وصلت الأسعار المحلية للذرة إلى مستويات مرتفعة قياسية، وأعلى بكثير من قيم نظيرتها في يناير/كانون الثاني من العام الفائت
