Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureImproving efficiency of small ruminants production for reduction of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity – GCP/SEC/014/TUR
FAO-Turkey Partnership Programme on Food and Agriculture (FTPP II)
2021This flyer provides information about the project titled "Improving efficiency of small ruminants production for reduction of the GHG emission intensity". Covering Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, the project aims for increasing capacities to analyse and improve the efficiency of small ruminants production systems in each participating country and the Central Asian subregion as a whole. -
DocumentFactsheetDevelopment of the small ruminant sector in the Caribbean- TCP/SLC/3501 2017The development of the small ruminant industry in the Caribbean is considered a priority by ministries of agriculture and other stakeholders of the sector. To achieve this, support was requested to develop and strengthen the industry by building the capacity of farmers involved in small ruminant production and by enhancing the production and productivity of the sector. The overall objective of the project was to contribute to the modernization and strengthening of small ruminant development in the Caribbean in order to meet the challenges of addressing food and nutrition security more effectively.

No results found.The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) comprises both net food importing nations and countries with vital agricultural export sectors. However, most small-island states in the Eastern Caribbean are net food importers and rely on international markets, outside the CARICOM region, for their food consumption. The development of their agriculture sectors is faced by such challenges as natural and geographic constraints, natural disasters, farm size, limited trade competitiveness and import dependency. Given the strong dependence on food imports and changing consumer preferences towards imported processed food, the management of food security will increasingly be a trade and macroeconomic issue rather than an agricultural one. The consumption of imported processed foods has also led to a significant rise in obesity and other non-communicable diseases. Developing the production base and VCs of products that can be competitively produced locally would create jobs, increase livelihoods from agriculture and increase access to fresh produce and protein sources, particularly in rural communities. Increasing intraregional trade, reducing dependence on food imports from outside the region and increasing the competitiveness of their agriculture sectors were major goals of CARICOM’s governments. The Caribbean Private Sector (CPSO) also aimed to reduce the agricultural imports of CARICOM by 25 percent by 2025.

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)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
2025While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030.
