Вместе 2020Семьдесят пять лет спустя название, целеустремленность и решимость ФАО остаются неизменными, в то время как все остальное изменилось и будет продолжать меняться.Созданная в 1945 году на волне идеализма послевоенного восстановления Продовольственная и сельскохозяйственная организация Объединенных Наций ставила перед собой цель увеличить производство сельскохозяйственной продукции во всем мире и сделать так, чтобы голод остался в прошлом.

До наступления срока достижения целей в области устойчивого развития осталось десять лет, и пришло время прямых ответов и смелых решений.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEmergency responseYemen - Emergency response
nov/18
2018Also available in:
Yemen is facing the world’s largest food security crisis. Ongoing conflict escalated dramatically in mid-March 2015, which severely disrupted the economy, including the agriculture sector. It also collapsed essential services and caused large-scale displacement and high rates of malnutrition. Humanitarian access has become increasingly restricted, including in some of the worst-affected areas. Food insecurity in Yemen is deep-rooted and linked to decades of underdevelopment, chronic malnutrition and aggravating environmental factors including severe water shortages. Until these factors are addressed, acute hunger will continue to reoccur. Agriculture must be an integral part of the humanitarian response to prevent Yemen’s dire food security situation from worsening. FAO’s programmes in Yemen aim to save livelihoods through the provision of supplies, knowledge and training to support the most vulnerable Yemeni communities to enhance their resilience and improve their food security and nutrition. -

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.
