    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In 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.

    This AQUASTAT report presents the most recent information available on water resources and their use in the 22 countries in the Southern and Eastern Asia region. Clearly it has an emphasis on agricultural water use and management. But in addition it contains the relevant tables and maps, and a regional synopsis emphasizing the particular characteristics of this large and diverse region. It also analyses the changes that have occurred since the first survey in 1999. Finally it gives a more detail ed description of four transboundary river basins in the region, highlighting the different levels of cooperation and the agreements between countries located in the same river basin: the Ganges?Brahmaputra?Meghna basin, the Indus basin, the Mekong basin and the Salween basin.

    Proyecto FAO UTF ARG 017. Desarrollo Institucional para la Inversión. Diciembre 2014

    El Ministerio de Agricultura de la Nación, a través del Programa de Servicios Agrícolas Provinciales (PROSAP) y la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO) establecieron un acuerdo mediante el cual FAO ejecuta, desde 2011 el Proyecto “Desarrollo Institucional para la Inversión”. Sus principales objetivos son: i) mejorar la competitividad de las actividades agropecuarias y su inserción en nuevos mercados y ii) contribuir al fortalecimiento de las capacidades institucionales y técnicas provinciales y locales para definir y aplicar políticas públicas y formular y ejecutar proyectos de inversión participativos. Una importancia particular adquiere, en relación a esos objetivos, la preocupación por identificar inversiones que permitan mejorar las áreas de riego existentes e incorporar nuevas superficies de manera integrada y coherente con el desarrollo de los vastos territorios de las provincias argentinas. En el marco del proyecto mencionado, las autor idades de las Provincias del Neuquén y Río Negro solicitaron el apoyo de PROSAP y FAO para la identificación de nuevas inversiones agropecuarias. Esta solicitud obedece a la decisión política de promover la agricultura irrigada y avanzar hacia un desarrollo más equilibrado entre los sectores económicos de cada provincia aportando beneficios sociales, ambientales y económicos.
