Also available in:
No results found.A report of the twenty-fourth World Food Day celebration held at the FAO regional office in Bangkok in commemoration of the Organization's founding in 1945. This year’s theme highlights the importance of conservation and management of biodiversity for food security. Loss of biodiversity is a threat to social and economic development as a whole. As genetic diversity erodes, our capacity to maintain and enhance crop, fish, forest and livestock productivity decreases along with our ability to respo nd to changing conditions. Sustainable ecosystems and agricultural practices need to be identified that can both feed people and protect the oceans, forests, prairies and other ecosystems that harbour biological diversity. Highlights of the day include a keynote speech on the theme of the celebration by Jim Peacock, CSIRO Plant Industry, Canberra and the presentation of five awards to outstanding farmers from Bhutan, China, Indonesia, Niue and Thailand. -

Book (series)The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024
Financing to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms
2024Six years from 2030, hunger and food insecurity trends are not yet moving in the right direction to end hunger and food insecurity (SDG Target 2.1) by 2030. The indicators of progress towards global nutrition targets similarly show that the world is not on track to eliminate all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2). Billions of people still lack access to nutritious, safe and sufficient food. Nevertheless, progress in many countries provides hope of the possibility of getting back on track towards hunger and malnutrition eradication. Implementing the policies, investments and legislation needed to revert the current trends of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition requires proper financing for food security and nutrition. Despite a broad agreement on the urgent need to increase financing for food security and nutrition, the same cannot be said for a common understanding regarding how this financing should be defined and tracked. The report provides a long-awaited definition of financing for food security and nutrition and guidance for its implementation. There are recommendations regarding the efficient use of innovative financing tools and reforms to the food security and nutrition financing architecture. Establishing a common definition of financing for food security and nutrition, and methods for its tracking, measurement and implementation, is an important first step towards sustainably increasing the financing flows needed to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, and to ensure access to healthy diets for all, today and tomorrow.
