    Help eliminate hunger and malnutrition
    Revised version
    2019
    Also available in:
    After decades of steady advances in the global fight against hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition, we are now witnessing a reversal of the progress made: in the last two years, the number of undernourished people has increased, taking us back to the figures registered a decade ago. Meanwhile, other forms of malnutrition are also on the rise: overweight and obesity affect almost four out of ten adults, leading to a significant surge in diet related non-communicable diseases NCDs in both the developed and developing world. At the same time, 1.5 billion people are affected by one or more forms of micronutrient deficiency. This leaflet highlights the impact of the FAO Strategic Programme's on ensuring that issues of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition, including issues of micronutrient deficiencies, obesity as well as diet-related NCDs are discussed, prioritized on global and local agendas and comprehensively addressed.

    Terminal evaluation of the project "Integrated Natural Resources Management in Degraded Landscapes in the Forest-Steppe Zone of Ukraine"

    The project’s objective was to promote the restoration of degraded landscapes in the forest-steppe and steppe zones of Ukraine by scaling up integrated natural resources management practices. The project was particularly relevant in terms of environmental degradation and climate change, as it took important first steps towards a land degradation neutrality monitoring system and integrated land use management plans in Ukraine, thus contributing to the enhanced integration of environmental policy into governance systems.Despite challenges caused by the ongoing war, the project’s activities and incentives stand out as good practices to replicate. The project significantly implemented successful capacity building, which led to increased information sharing and the development of draft laws on environmental protection. Numerous demonstration and capacity building activities on good conservation agricultural practices and enhanced technologies like no till drill, subsurface drip irrigation, crop rotation and sustainable shelterbelt management generated greater awareness. In addition, promising income generation activities for women were implemented successfully.
