No results found.An FAO/WFP Mission visited Madagascar from 18 August to 5 September 1997 to assess the damage caused by locusts to crops in the southern part of the country and to evaluate its implications on the food supply situation. The Mission was joined by two senior staff members of the Office of the General Commissioner for the Integrated Development of the South of Madagascar (CGDIS), which co-ordinates all development activities in the southern part of the country. In conducting the assessment, the Mis sion was split into two teams so that as many sub-prefectures and districts as possible could be visited in the two provinces of Toliary and Fianarantsoa that were affected by the locust outbreak. One team visited sub-prefectures between Ambovombe in the southern coastal area and Ihosy in the north and continued westward to Sakaraha and Toliary, the provincial capital. This allowed the Mission to visit areas covered by the regional early warning unit (SAP) as well as areas outside the SAP zone. The second team assessed conditions in the coastal areas of the south and south-west, including Beloha, Ampanihy, Betioky and Toliary, visiting sub-prefectures and districts classified in the various risk areas identified by the SAP. The Mission’s evaluation is based on discussions with government officials at the national and local level, farmers, the business community, representatives of NGOs and churches, UN agencies and bilateral donors, field projects, private rural doctors and veterina rians. Market places were also visited to assess the availability, sources and prices of food and discuss the impact of locusts on the livelihood of the population. The results of several studies on the outcome of the crop season, the impact of the locust outbreak on crops and the nutritional situation of the population in various areas were also reviewed. -

BookletTechnical briefThe Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems
Overview
2025Young people stand at the heart of a rapidly changing world. They have the vision, energy and entrepreneurial spirit to find new and innovative ways to cultivate, create, package and transport the food we all need. If adequately nourished, educated, equipped with resources and involved in decision-making, young people can drive economic transformation and global prosperity. This brief presents the key messages and findings from the FAO report The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems – the most comprehensive evidence-based analysis of youth engagement in agrifood systems to date. It highlights both the opportunities available to young people and the structural barriers they face, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers and development actors. The aim is to support more equitable and sustainable agrifood systems, where rural youth are not only beneficiaries but also drivers of change. -

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.
