Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileFAO COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme - Data for decision-making
Ensuring quality data and analysis for effective policy support to food systems and Zero Hunger
2020The COVID-19 health crisis is having wide-reaching effects on all parts of society, including on food systems, livelihoods and food security. Timely and reliable information is essential to anticipate and mitigate its negative impacts, in particular, to identify those areas where the pandemic is generating new and unprecedented stress. Traditionally food insecurity hotspots in emergency contexts are most affected, also due to difficulties in supplying humanitarian assistance. In addition, depending on the response to the pandemic, new pockets of food insecurity may appear, even in countries and populations that have not previously been the focus of food security crises. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, FAO is reorienting and upscaling its work on data, information and analysis. Data for decision-making aims to equip countries to implement timely and effective responses to the COVID-19 crisis and promote a swift recovery thereafter. In the framework of FAO’s comprehensive COVID-19 response, the data for decision-making programme is structured around four components: Rapid, repeated assessments of the impact of COVID-19 on food insecurity, using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES); Leveraging innovative data sources to monitor the impact of COVID-19; Adapting agricultural data collection methods to meet new demands, while maintaining the continuity of technical assistance on agricultural surveys; Evidence-based policy support for post-COVID-19 economic and social recovery. -

No results found.This action sheet is part of a series of action sheets developed under the seven key priority areas of the FAO COVID-19 Response and Recovery programme, the FAO umbrella programme designed to proactively and sustainably address the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic. Each action sheet includes a project proposal in support of countries most in need for which FAO is leveraging high-level political, financial, and technical expertise. All action sheets are gathered on the Food Coalition web hub, where members of the Coalition - a multi-stakeholder global alliance for a unified global action in response to COVID-19 - can easily access the action sheet project-focused information and data as well as the funding gap on the ground, the type of assistance that would be required and decide how they wish to contribute: through voluntary contributions, provision of expert and expertise, innovative solutions and exchange of knowledge and experience. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPicturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025This commemorative volume marks the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tracing its journey from a founding conviction – that hunger is not inevitable – to today’s global mission of transforming agrifood systems. Through a rich collection of photographs and narratives, the book illustrates how FAO works alongside farmers, fishers, scientists, governments, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society to advance sustainable solutions that nourish both people and planet.Organized around FAO’s vision of the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – the book highlights concrete progress: from regenerative farming and climate-smart livestock, to school feeding programmes, land restoration and inclusive digital innovation. It reflects on both the challenges and the opportunities facing agrifood systems, including climate volatility, conflict and inequality, while showing how collaboration, knowledge and innovation create pathways for resilience and hope.Arriving at a moment of reflection and renewal, this volume is both tribute and testimony: to the millions of people whose daily efforts sustain our world, and to FAO’s enduring commitment to building sustainable, inclusive and equitable agrifood systems that leave no one behind.

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.
