    Oportunidades y desafíos del comercio agroalimentario entre los países del Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana y la Comunidad del Caribe 2024
    Also available in:
    Este estudio responde a la propuesta presentada por la Secretaría del Consejo Agropecuario Centroamericano (SECAC) y la Secretaría de Integración Económica Centroamericana (SIECA) sobre la necesidad de promover espacios de integración en el ámbito del comercio agroalimentario entre Centroamérica y el Caribe. Es un trabajo conjunto entre la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO) y el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) en la búsqueda de posibles soluciones comerciales a la crisis de seguridad alimentaria, la necesidad de generar mayores oportunidades de empleo, la recuperación económica y, en general, lograr mejores condiciones de vida para la población de Centroamérica y el Caribe.El documento se organiza en seis secciones: introducción; un análisis resumido de las tendencias en el comercio agroalimentario a nivel mundial y entre las dos subregiones; condiciones de acceso al mercado entre las dos regiones; una sección que define la cobertura y la metodología utilizada para la investigación; identificación de productos con potencial comercial; las principales limitaciones y desafíos para aprovechar estas oportunidades; y, finalmente, las conclusiones y recomendaciones de políticas públicas para superar los desafíos y contribuir al objetivo de una mayor y mejor seguridad alimentaria.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
