Synopsis (short abstract) This publication is the first step in a series of coordinated efforts between FAO and WHO to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture, so that our Member States can achieve Goal 2 of the ODS. Hopefully this effort will also motivate governments, international development agencies, donors, the private sector and civil society to coordinate actions to end hunger and malnutrition. The present text is the executive summary of the 2016 edition of the Pa norama of Food and Nutrition Security in Latin America and the Caribbean, an annual publication prepared by the Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) / Regional Office for the Americas of the World Health Organization (WHO). For the purposes of communication and dissemination, all references and bibliographic citations have been removed from the text, which can be found in the full Panorama document (in Spanish).

Hunger and malnutrition persist as challenges in Latin America and the Caribbean. There are different proposals for policies and interventions to address these problems jointly as a region and for each country. However, the proposals for policies and interventions do not include how to finance the actions needed to eliminate hunger and combat malnutrition. This document presents a first approach to the issue of the financing needed for the eradication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Building resilience to climate variability and extremes for food security and nutrition

Also available in:

Spanish

Latin America and the Caribbean have seen a decline in hunger and food insecurity for two years, driven by social protection programs and post-COVID recovery. However, disparities persist, especially among women, rural populations, and vulnerable groups. The region is unlikely to meet most nutrition targets, and healthy diets remain expensive. Climate variability is increasing in the region, affecting food security across availability, access, utilization, and stability. This climate impact reduces agricultural productivity, disrupts food supply chains, and raises food prices. Vulnerable populations are most affected, with changing diets further exacerbating the situation. Climate change is worsening food security and the causes of malnutrition.

The national training workshop on Enhancing Effective Participation in Codex Activities in the Philippines was conceptualized as a Way Forward after the participation of government officials who are National Codex Organization members to the FAO Regional Training Workshop on Enhancing Effective Participation in Codex Activities in ASEAN Countries that was held on 9-11 January 2017 in Bangkok, Thailand. The Training Workshop on Enhancing Effective Participation in Codex Activities was held on 30 August to 1 September 2017 in Sequoia Hotel, Quezon City, Philippines. The activity was jointly organized by the National Codex Organization (NCO) and the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Animal Industry (DA-BAI) in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations- Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (FAORAP). A total of forty nine (49) participants consisting of personnel from the food safety regulatory agencies of the Department of Agriculture and Department of Health and the private sector actively participated in the three-day training workshop. Three (3) ASEAN participants from Lao PDR, Myanmar and Viet Nam served as observers so that they will have an idea as to how a national Codex training can be organized in their respective countries.
