Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureAgroforestry plots establishment 2023

Rangelands and forests in Afghanistan have been increasingly degraded due to overexploitation since the host communities have no sufficient alternative livelihood options. The communities and members of the Rangeland Management Association (RMA) and Forest Management Association (FMA) uprooted bushes and shrubs from the rangeland as well as cut trees from the forest to sell in the local market to sustain themselves. To decrease the growing pressure on the rangeland and forest, FAO provided 2 341 beneficiaries with 118 800 apples, sweet orange, persimmon, almond, and orange saplings as one of the alternative livelihood options, which covered 3 261 ha of land. Each beneficiary was provided with 50 saplings. The combination of trees, crops, and livestock mitigates environmental risks, helps create a permanent soil cover against erosion, minimizes damage from flooding, and enhances water storage. In addition, agroforestry brings nutrients from deeper soil layers, or in the case of leguminous plants, through nitrogen fixation, which can convert leaf litter into fertilizer for crops. -

Growing Ferula Asafetida to reduce pressure on rangeland. To decrease the increasing pressure on the rangeland, FAO provided Ferula Asafetida, locally known as hing, seeds to the local communities in the target provinces as an alternative livelihood option to cultivate in their respective lands/rangeland. Ferula has more economic value than uprooting bushes and shrubs and selling them in the market to ensure livelihood. Ferula Asafetida is a perennial herb that is cultivated as well as grown wild in the northern and central parts of Afghanistan. However, over-exploitation of the rangelands by the host communities in the last four to five decades has nearly wiped out the plant. -

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. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profilePakistan: Urgent call for assistance 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Severe monsoon weather conditions since mid-June 2022 have disrupted the lives and livelihoods of 33 million people in Pakistan, mainly located in rural areas. Rainfalls were significantly higher than the national 30-year average, leading to devastating floods and landslides that wiped out agricultural lands, livestock assets, forests and critical agricultural infrastructure. The climate-induced disaster struck rural communities amid growing economic and food security challenges, compounding their vulnerabilities and exhausting their resilience. Rural communities, who represent 80 percent of the poorest people in Pakistan and depend on agriculture and livestock keeping for their livelihoods, were among the hardest hit by the disaster, especially in Balochistan, Sindh and Punjab provinces. The document provides an overview of the impact of the disaster on agricultural livelihoods and food security as well as FAO's planned response and funding requirements. -
BookletHigh-profileEnhancing nutrition in emergency and resilience agriculture responses to prevent child wasting
FAO's child wasting prevention action plan (2023–2024)
2022Also available in:
No results found.As part of the United Nations Global Action Plan on Child Wasting, FAO requires USD 500 million to implement its action plan to prevent child wasting (2023–2024) in the 15 most-affected countries. FAO’s response complements the combined efforts of the other UN agencies – Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), World Food Programme (WFP) and World Health Organization (WHO) – to support early detection, prevention and treatment services by enhancing nutrition in emergency and resilience agriculture responses. FAO aims to reach 1 million vulnerable households with at-risk children, pregnant and lactating women and girls to prevent child wasting or to ensure that there are no relapses for children discharged after undergoing treatment.
