Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochurePrecipitation anomaly as an indicator for food security in eastern Bhutan (1984-2022) 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Precipitation variation affects the food security of a region. To assess the food security, precipitation anomaly between two time periods (1981–2022 and 2018–2022) is measured from CHIRPS data for eastern Bhutan (1981–2022) in the context of GEF–8 projects. The main aim of the GEF–8 project is to transform cropland to improve the region's food security. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureRice land area as an indicator for food security in eastern Bhutan (2022) 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Information on rice land area is required to monitor food security indicators and provide information on access to water, rice cropping intensities and more. Rice land extent for eastern Bhutan was mapped by training a machine learning model and classifying satellite imageries (Planet, Sentinel–1) in GEE. These datasets were prepared in the context of GEF–8 projects. The main aim of the GEF–8 project is to transform rice fields to improve the region's food security. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
