Synopsis (short abstract) The process to establish the World Banana Forum (WBF) was led by a group of representatives from banana grower organizations, exporter associations, multinational and national trading companies, trade unions, supermarket chains, intergovernmental organizations, research institutions and non-governmental organizations. This group formed a Preparatory Committee which made possible the establishment of the WBF by organizing the needed preparatory meetings and the WBF inaugural meeting in December 2009. The banana stakeholders agreed to nominate a group of representatives which is in charge of coordinating the ongoing work of the World Banana Forum and its Working Groups. This group is the Steering Committee. Everyone can join the Steering Committee provided that they have sufficient time and willingness to support actively this Forum. The balance between the different groups has been a priority since this group was initially formed. Meetings are held biannually.

    La Troisième Conférence du Forum Mondial de la Banane (FMB) s'est tenue au Centre International de Conférences de Genève (CICG) à Genève, en Suisse, les 8 et 9 novembre 2017. Plus de 300 personnes représentant une grande diversité d’acteurs de 38 pays d'Amérique latine et des Caraïbes, d'Afrique, d'Asie, d'Europe et d'Amérique du Nord se sont inscrites pour participer à des discussions sur des sujets cruciaux concernant l'industrie mondiale de la banane, comme la collaboration, le genre, le commerce et les questions techniques. Les participants représentaient les gouvernements, les organisations internationales compétentes, les importateurs, les exportateurs, les distributeurs, les organisations de producteurs, les syndicats, les organisations de la société civile et les instituts de recherche en relation avec le secteur de la banane. Deux événements importants ont précédé la Troisième Conférence du FMB, notamment (1) la Réunion multipartite sur l'égalité des sexes dans l'industrie de la banane et (2) la 13ème réunion du Comité de Pilotage du FMB, le 7 novembre 2017. Un événement parallèle sur la lutte contre la Fusariose souche Tropicale 4 s’est également tenu le 10 novembre 2017, à la suite de la Conférence. Ce rapport fournit un résumé des principaux résultats et des discussions qui ont eu lieu au cours des tables rondes des 8 et 9 novembre 2017.

    Climate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
    Also available in:
    End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all.

    What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? 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.

    Nutrition and food systems. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition of the Committee on World Food Security. September 2017 2018
    Also available in:
    At its 42nd session in October 2015, the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) requested the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE) to prepare a report on Nutrition and Food Systems, to be presented at CFS 44 in October 2017. This topic is highly relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the implementation of the 2014 Rome Declaration on Nutrition, the subsequent Decade of Action for Nutrition, and the fulfilment of the right to adequate food. The purpose of this report is two-fold: (i) to analyse how food systems influence people’s dietary patterns and nutritional outcomes; and (ii) to highlight effective policies and programmes that have the potential to shape food systems, contribute to improved nutrition and ensure that food is produced, distributed and consumed in a sustainable manner that protects the right to adequate food for all. This report is illustrated by short case studies reflecting the wide variety of practical experiences in diff erent contexts. It also provides a set of action-oriented recommendations addressed to states and other stakeholders in order to inform CFS engagement in advancing nutrition and CFS contribution to the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016–2025).
