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. -

No results found.Western Visayas has largest population of native chickens in the Philippines; however, data on the phenotypic and genetic diversity is limited. Eight hundred and ten chickens from 270 different flocks, from six provinces within the region were chosen for characterization. Data collected includes farmer selection practices, means of identifying genetic groups and information on phenotypic traits of native chickens. This information was analysed using statistical tools suggested by FAO. Phenotypic diversity and equitability of distribution were analysed using Simpson’s diversity index and equality of distribution. Results showed that native chicken genetic resources are comprised of two types, the Jolo and Bisaya; the latter was further divided into Bisaya–Cluster I and Bisaya–Cluster II. Jolo chickens were the heaviest (P < 0.01) but comparable with Bisaya–Cluster II in terms of egg weight, head shape and phenotypic distance. They all had higher diversity and equitability of distribution in their plumage colour and pattern, though the iris and shank colour had higher diversity but had limited distributions. Bisaya–Cluster II and Jolo chickens had higher diversity and above average distribution in liveweight. They were also homogenous in feather morphology and distribution; head and breast shape, and skeletal variants. Thus, the observed diversities and distributions can be used in identifying genetic materials for any breeding undertakings. -

Unasylva No. 252 - Vol. 71 2020/1
2021Este número de Unasylva tiene como objetivo mostrar las oportunidades de la Restauración de Bosques y Paisajes (RBP) y los desarrollos recientes que tienen el poder de ampliar el alcance de la restauración, con el fin de lograr la promesa del Desafío de Bonn y otros compromisos nacionales e internacionales (Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), la Agenda Post-2020 del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica (CDB), la Neutralidad de la Degradación de la Tierra de la Convención de las Naciones Unidas de Lucha contra la Desertificación (CNULD), el Acuerdo de París de la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC)) y abordar las necesidades del Decenio de las Naciones Unidas 2021-2030 sobre la Restauración de los Ecosistemas. El contenido aborda temas de relevancia para distintas audiencias: i) iniciativas de restauración emblemáticas que se diferencian de las habituales, ya que canalizan más fondos, empoderan mejor a las partes interesadas locales y proporcionan una mayor asistencia técnica a través de coaliciones de socios; ii) avances técnicos que pueden difundir la RBP y tienen un enorme potencial para ser incorporados por diferentes razones (bajo coste, adaptabilidad, relevancia para muchos ecosistemas y contextos, facilidad de aplicación...); iii) los factores que propician la restauración, es decir, la coordinación, el entorno político, los recursos, los conocimientos y las capacidades, ya que son las condiciones que permiten actuar sobre el terreno.
