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 (series)Technical studyClassification et définition illustrée des engins de pêche 2023Le présent document élabore la Classification statistique internationale type des engins de pêche (CSITEP) révisée, telle qu’approuvée et adoptée en vue de sa mise en œuvre par le Groupe de travail chargé de coordonner les statistiques de pêche (CWP) de la FAO à l’occasion de sa vingt-cinquième session en février 2016 à Rome, en Italie. La classification s’applique aux pêches commerciales, de subsistance et récréatives en mer et en eau douce. Le document fournit des définitions et des illustrations de la configuration et du mode de fonctionnement des engins de pêche typiques. Son principal objectif est d’aider les Membres de la FAO, les organismes régionaux de pêche, ainsi que toutes les personnes qui travaillent sur les statistiques et la gestion des pêches, à attribuer et à déclarer correctement les captures de pêche effectuées par les différents types d’engins. Le document contribue également à la prévention, à la dissuasion et à l’élimination de la pêche illicite, non déclarée et non réglementée (INDNR) en fournissant au personnel de suivi, de contrôle et de surveillance des informations permettant d’identifier le type d’engin de pêche utilisé par rapport aux permis et aux autorisations des opérations de pêche. Enfin, le document fournit également un contexte et des références pour répondre à un certain nombre de problèmes contemporains en matière de conservation liés aux principaux types d’engins de pêche; il peut donc être utilisé comme texte de référence pour les étudiants et les chercheurs dans les domaines des pêches et de la conservation marine.
