    Plan d’action pour la gestion des risques de catastrophes en Guinée-Bissau 2011 - 2013 2011

    La Guinée-Bissau, un des pays les plus pauvres au monde, se classe au 164ème rang mondial sur 169 selon l’indice de développement humain calculé en 2010 par le Programme des Nations Unies pour le développement (PNUD). Plus de 65 pour cent de la population vit sous le seuil des 2 USD par jour. La pauvreté, prépondérante en zone rurale, est la principale cause de l’insécurité alimentaire. La production nette nationale ne suffit pas à couvrir les besoins alimentaires de la population dont les moyen s de subsistance sont en crise. Les faibles rendements des cultures vivrières, les risques phytosanitaires, la rareté des petits élevages familiaux, l’inexistence de la production piscicole, la faible demande des marchés ruraux pour les produits de la pêche artisanale et côtière ainsi que la rareté des petits jardins familiaux sont les principales causes du déficit énergétique et du déséquilibre nutritionnel, sources de la vulnérabilité alimentaire en Guinée-Bissau. Depuis 2008, l’Organisation d es Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO) appuie le Gouvernement de Guinée-Bissau à travers l’Unité de coordination des opérations d’urgence et de la réhabilitation (ERCU) dans son effort visant à faire face à l’effondrement du cours de la noix de cajou et à la flambée des prix des denrées alimentaires. Pour répondre à ces problèmes, le Plan d’action de la Guinée-Bissau 2011-2013, dans une optique de réduction des risques de catastrophes, propose un programme composé d’une séri e de 12 projets dont les activités contribueront à la réduction du risque d’insécurité alimentaire. Parmi ces activités, on note la réhabilitation de digues anti-sel, l’introduction de variétés de semences améliorées résistantes à la sécheresse, la promotion de banques céréalières et la promotion d’un système d’alerte précoce. La mise en œuvre de ces activités sera effectuée en étroite collaboration avec les institutions nationales telles le Ministère de l’agriculture et du développement rural ( MADR) et le futur Service national de protection civile (SNPC), les organisations non gouvernementales nationales et internationales et les autres agences des Nations Unies dont notamment le Programme alimentaire mondial (PAM) et le PNUD. Les bailleurs de fonds actuels, l’Union européenne, l’Espagne, le Brésil, la Banque mondiale, la Banque africaine de développement (BAD) et le Fonds international de développement agricole (FIDA) sont des partenaires essentiels dans la mise en œuvre de ces proj ets.

    The future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017

    What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.

    This edition of The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture presents objective and comprehensive information and analyses on the current state, trends and challenges facing two of the most important agricultural production factors: land and water. Land and water resources are central to agriculture and rural development, and are intrinsically linked to global challenges of food insecurity and poverty, climate change adaptation and mitigation, as well as d egradation and depletion of natural resources that affect the livelihoods of millions of rural people across the world. Current projections indicate that world population will increase from 6.9 billion people today to 9.1 billion in 2050. In addition, economic progress, notably in the emerging countries, translates into increased demand for food and diversified diets. World food demand will surge as a result, and it is projected that food production will increase by 70 percent in t he world and by 100 percent in the developing countries. Yet both land and water resources, the basis of our food production, are finite and already under heavy stress, and future agricultural production will need to be more productive and more sustainable at the same time.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
    Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
    2020
    Also available in:
    Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition.
