DocumentFactsheetAppui à la securite alimentaire et nutritionnelle au Burkina Faso - GCP/BKF/055/EC 2018
Also available in:
L’objectif global du programme est d’assurer une sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle durable aux populations les plus démunies du Burkina Faso, tout en renforçant la gouvernance institutionnelle et politique de la sécurité alimentaire. L’enquête nutritionnelle nationale SMART 2012 indiquait la persistance d’une prévalence préoccupante de la malnutrition aiguë dans les régions du Nord, du Centre Nord et du Sahel. La Composante 1 visait à améliorer les revenus, la disponibilité et l’accès alimentaires des populations rurales pauvres (femmes et jeunes vulnérables notamment) de ces régions. -
DocumentFactsheetMise en oeuvre de la stratégie de sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle en Afghanistan- GCP/AFG/091/GER 2017L’insécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle est un problème grave et répandu en Afghanistan. Environ 30 pour cent de la population souffre d’insécurité alimentaire et 40 pour cent des enfants afghans âgés de moins de cinq ans souffrent de dénutrition chronique. La majorité des personnes vulnérables et en situation d’insécurité alimentaire vivent en zones rurales et dépendent de l’agriculture et de l’élevage qui sont leurs principales sources de revenus. Le Ministère de l’agriculture, de l’irrigat ion et du bétail (MAIL) a élaboré une stratégie pour aborder les problèmes critiques de la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle. Cependant, ses structures institutionnelles et ses capacités techniques et de gestion doivent être renforcées afin de mettre en oeuvre efficacement cette stratégie.

ProjectFactsheetAppui à la CEEAC pour la reformulation de la Politique agricole commune (PAC) et le Programme régional d’investissement agricole, de sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle (PRIASAN) de 2nde génération - TCP/SFC/3804 2025

L’Afrique centrale se distingue par une grande diversité agroécologique et par d’abondantes ressources naturelles, dont une exploitation judicieuse pourrait transformer son agriculture. C’est une région contrastée, englobant des zones écologiques sahariennes au nord du Tchad, des zones sahéliennes dans l’extrême-nord du Cameroun et une partie du Tchad, des zones forestières couvrant plus de la moitié de la région, ainsi que des zones montagneuses et une vaste frange côtière s’étendant du littoral camerounais aux rivages de l’Angola. Avec une superficie totale d’environ 6 667 047 km² et une population estimée à environ 173 millions d’habitants en 2019, la région de l’Afrique centrale compte 346,2 millions d’hectares de forêts, 135,5 millions d’hectares de pâturages et 26,9 millions d’hectares de terres arables. Cependant, sur 14,2 millions d’hectares irrigables, seuls 601 000 hectares (soit 4,2 pour cent de la superficie cultivée) sont irrigués. La région dispose également d’une importante réserve de ressources en eaux souterraines renouvelables, représentant près de 1 715 km³, soit 44 pour cent des ressources internes du continent africain.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In 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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
