DocumentOther documentFood and Agriculture Based Approaches to safeguarding nutrition before, during and after emergencies: The experience of FAO 2010
Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture has an important role to play as part of a more integrated package to tackle nutrition in emergencies. In order to maximise the impact of agricultural based responses, two “lenses” are important. First, a “nutrition lens” to ensure that projects and programmes are designed, implemented and monitored with nutritional outcomes in mind. Second, a “Disaster Risk Management” lens, which highlights the importance of reducing the impact of disasters through risk reduction and recovery actio ns in addition to standard response actions. FAO is involved in a range of emergency projects with assumed or measured nutritional impacts. The Organization is striving to apply both “lenses” to nutrition related interventions and to highlight the importance of agriculture related nutrition interventions in emergencies; however, there are a number of challenges. Meeting these challenges requires a blend of activities which include: awareness raising amongst the food security “community”; inco rporating nutrition-related approaches, defining objectives as well as required indicators for targeting and monitoring (e.g. dietary diversity for adults, diversity of complementary foods for children); building-up the evidence base on agriculture-nutrition linkages through improved effective and joint implementation, M&E and lessons sharing; advocating joint planning by agencies at country level using a shared conceptual and analytical framework for food and agricultural interventions; enhanc ed articulation between the new Food Security and already existing Nutrition clusters, and; strengthened enforcement of nutrition goals and mainstreaming in appeal programme and project documents and monitoring. Using the “right to food” principle to promote sustainable food based interventions in emergencies - promoting the dignity of people by supporting self-reliant livelihoods - is another area requiring a stronger focus. -

DocumentOther documentInformation Note - The importance of Ukraine and the Russian Federation for global agricultural markets and the risks associated with the war in Ukraine
10 June 2022 Update
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Russian Federation and Ukraine are among the most important producers of agricultural commodities in the world. Both countries are leading suppliers of agricultural products to global markets, where exportable supplies are often concentrated in a handful of countries. The Russian Federation is also a leading producer and exporter of fuels and fertilizers. The war in Ukraine is resulting in growing global market tightness, lifting prices for food, fertilizers and fuels to new highs. This report reviews the main market risks associated with the conflict, assesses the impacts on global food supplies and food security and puts forward policy recommendations and proposals to deal with the situation.
