DocumentFactsheetImproving productivity of tilapia farmers in the Philippines - TCP/PHI/3502 2017Tilapia is the most consumed farmed fish in the Philippines, with an average yearly consumption of 4.6 kg per person, yet the tilapia farming sector has declined by 35 percent in the last eight years, due to climate-induced challenges. Thus there is a considerable threat not only to the livelihoods of farmers and fisherfolk, but also to the country’s food security. This project sought to provide innovative knowledge and technical services and products to farmers in order to increase the resilien ce of the tilapia farming sector to climate or weather risks.

DocumentFactsheetAssister les agriculteurs dans les zones touches par el niño aux Philippines - TCP/PHI/3603 2017El Niño, qui a balayé les Philippines de 2015 à 2016, a eu un impact significatif sur la production agricole et la sécurité alimentaire. Le projet visait à restaurer les moyens d'existence basés sur l'agriculture des agriculteurs touchés par la sécheresse dans la région autonome du Mindanao musulman (ARMM) et dans la région XII, où quatre provinces ont été déclarées sinistrées. Le projet a fourni d’importantes contributions agricoles aux ménages ruraux les plus touchés et les plus vulnérables ai nsi qu’une assistance technique à travers le renforcement des capacités des institutions concernées, des agents de vulgarisation et des agriculteurs afin qu’ils soient à même de résister aux chocs, de gérer efficacement la sécheresse et qu’ils disposent de systèmes de surveillance et de prévision plus robustes.

DocumentFactsheetMejora de la productividad de los criadores de tilapia en Filipinas- TCP/PHI/3502 2017La tilapia es el pez cultivado que más se consume en Filipinas, con un consumo medio anual de 4,6 kg por persona. Pese a ello, el sector de la cría de tilapia ha disminuido en un 35 por ciento en los últimos ocho años debido a problemas relacionados con el cambio climático. Por consiguiente, existe una grave amenaza no solo para los medios de vida de los criadores y los pescadores, sino también para la seguridad alimentaria del país. La finalidad de este proyecto era brindar conocimientos innova dores, así como servicios técnicos y productos a los criadores con el fin de aumentar la resiliencia del sector de la cría de tilapia ante el cambio climático o los riesgos meteorológicos.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
