Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureRespuestas ante la COVID-19 y el riesgo para las cadenas de suministro de alimentos 2020A medida que la pandemia de COVID-19 se convierte en una crisis global, los países están tomando medidas para contener la pandemia. Los estantes de los supermercados permanecen abastecidos por ahora. Pero una crisis pandémica prolongada podría poner presión rápidamente en las cadenas de suministro de alimentos, que es una red compleja de interacciones que involucra a agricultores, insumos agrícolas, plantas de procesamiento, transporte marítimo, minoristas y más. La industria naviera ya está informando una desaceleración debido al cierre de puertos, y los obstáculos logísticos podrían interrumpir las cadenas de suministro en las próximas semanas. Este resumen de políticas ofrece recomendaciones sobre las medidas a considerar para mantener viva la cadena de suministro en estos tiempos de crisis.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureMitigación de riesgos en los sistemas alimentarios durante COVID-19: Reducción de la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos 2021La pandemia COVID-19 sigue causando estragos en todo el mundo y generando desafíos importantes que podrían resultar en riesgos para la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición en varios países. Los países están decretando confinamientos, restringiendo los desplazamientos y promoviendo el distanciamiento social para contener la pandemia. Las perturbaciones en las cadenas de suministro debido a bloqueos en las rutas de transporte, restricciones al transporte y las medidas de cuarentena están aumentando significativamente la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos, especialmente de productos agrícolas perecederos, como las frutas y las hortalizas, el pescado, la carne y los productos lácteos. Asimismo, la escasez de mano de obra, como resultado de la restricción de movimiento de actores importantes en la producción y el transporte, está repercutiendo de manera significativa en la oferta y la demanda de alimentos, debido a que en algunos mercados existe una escasez de alimentos, lo cual contribuye aún más a la pérdida de alimentos y al innecesario desperdicio de suministros alimentarios en estos momentos difíciles. La Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO) alienta a los países a adoptar enfoques integrales para abordar la reducción de la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos, en un esfuerzo por facilitar durante la pandemia de COVID-19 al acceso a alimentos por todas las personas, y en particular por las personas más vulnerables.

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.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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.
