Book (series)The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024
Financing to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms
2024Six years from 2030, hunger and food insecurity trends are not yet moving in the right direction to end hunger and food insecurity (SDG Target 2.1) by 2030. The indicators of progress towards global nutrition targets similarly show that the world is not on track to eliminate all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2). Billions of people still lack access to nutritious, safe and sufficient food. Nevertheless, progress in many countries provides hope of the possibility of getting back on track towards hunger and malnutrition eradication. Implementing the policies, investments and legislation needed to revert the current trends of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition requires proper financing for food security and nutrition. Despite a broad agreement on the urgent need to increase financing for food security and nutrition, the same cannot be said for a common understanding regarding how this financing should be defined and tracked. The report provides a long-awaited definition of financing for food security and nutrition and guidance for its implementation. There are recommendations regarding the efficient use of innovative financing tools and reforms to the food security and nutrition financing architecture. Establishing a common definition of financing for food security and nutrition, and methods for its tracking, measurement and implementation, is an important first step towards sustainably increasing the financing flows needed to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, and to ensure access to healthy diets for all, today and tomorrow. -

Document中国的粮食和农业生物学多样性国家报告 2019
Also available in:
No results found.These country reports are prepared as a contribution to the FAO publication, The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture. The preparation of Country Reports provided an overview of existing information gaps and helped to establish a baseline information on biodiversity for food and agriculture. They also provided information on the role of biodiversity for food and agriculture in the provision of multiple ecosystem services. These country reports helped to address the following questions: • What is the state of the conservation and use of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, ecosystem services and sustainability? • What trends can be identified in the conservation and use of biodiversity for food and agriculture and in the effects of major drivers of change? • How can conservation and use of biodiversity for food and agriculture be improved and the contributions of biodiversity to food security and nutrition, ecosystem services, sustainability and the improvement of livelihoods of farmers, pastoralists, forest dwellers and fisher folk be enhanced?

Book (stand-alone)Part 1: Climate-smart agriculture practices compendium
Climate-smart Farmer Field School curriculum
2025Also available in:
No results found.This document, Part 1: Climate-smart agriculture practices compendium, forms a key component of the standardized, one-curriculum package developed for the Climate-Smart Farmer Field School (FFS) initiative in Jordan.Launched under the "Building Resilience to Cope with Climate Change in Jordan" (BRCCJ) project, this initiative empowers smallholder farmers to enhance water use efficiency and adapt to climate change. The comprehensive curriculum comprises six distinct parts, providing a structured framework for disseminating climate-smart agriculture (CSA) knowledge and technologies. The one-curriculum package has six parts, namely, Part 1: Climate-smart agriculture practices compendium, Part 2: Climate-smart practices catalogues, Part 3: Climate-smart Farmer Field School one-curriculum, Part 4: Climate-smart Farmer Field School standard operating procedures, Part 5: Climate-smart Farmer Field School data recording and governance, and Part 6: Climate-smart Farmer Field School digital support.This compendium, Part 1, outlines a range of potential CSA practices spanning the entire agricultural value chain, aligning with Jordan's National CSA Action Plan. By promoting climate resilience, it aims to boost food security, ensure sustainable agricultural production, and improve livelihoods. This resource serves as a practical guide for farmers and facilitators participating in the FFS modules, offering a pathway towards a more resilient and sustainable agriculture sector in Jordan. -

BookletLa Niña: Anticipatory Action and Response Plan, January 2025 update
Mitigating the expected impacts of La Niña‑induced climate extremes on agriculture and food security
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO’s) La Niña Anticipatory Action and Response Plan, first launched in August 2024 and updated in January 2025, seeks urgent funding to address the escalating risks and potential impacts on agriculture and food security. Based on the latest forecasts and evolving conditions, FAO is prioritizing assistance to people in 41 countries currently at highest risk. Early flexible funding is fundamental to sync FAO operations with the fast-evolving forecasts and moving targets associated with La Niña.La Niña conditions are currently active, and are most likely to persist until April 2025. The change in weather patterns has already led to devastating floods and storms, as well as uneasonably dry conditions in various regions. Although La Niña conditions are expected to diminish after April, many countries will remain at risk of localized extreme weather events threatening already vulnerable farming communities.We know that acting ahead of climate extremes prevents losses and results in gains. Drawing on its expertise and leveraging flexible funding from its partners, FAO is actively implementing proactive measures in priority countries to mitigate these impacts. Continued donor support remains critical to enable communities to prepare effectively, reduce vulnerabilities and safeguard food security amidst the challenges posed by potential La Niña impacts and other climate extremes. -
Book (stand-alone)El camino de América Latina y el Caribe hacia sistemas alimentarios resilientes, saludables y justos
Una aplicación de los indicadores de la Iniciativa de Cuenta regresiva para los sistemas alimentarios
2025Also available in:
No results found.Este documento analiza el estado actual de los sistemas alimentarios en América Latina y el Caribe, utilizando los indicadores de la Iniciativa de Cuenta Regresiva para los Sistemas Alimentarios (FSCI por sus siglas en inglés). El informe resalta las fortalezas de la región, como su contribución a la producción global de alimentos y la conservación de ecosistemas, junto con desafíos críticos como la desigualdad, el acceso limitado a dietas saludables y los impactos del cambio climático. Solo el 42 % de los países de la región se encuentra en la mitad superior del índice global, lo que refleja la necesidad de estrategias adaptadas para lograr sistemas alimentarios más sostenibles, resilientes y equitativos. El análisis abarca cinco dimensiones clave: dietas, medioambiente, medios de vida, gobernanza y resiliencia. A nivel regional, se identifican brechas significativas en la capacidad de resiliencia y en los ambientes alimentarios, donde el alto costo de dietas saludables y la baja disponibilidad de verduras son problemas recurrentes. Además, la región muestra un uso intensivo de pesticidas y altas emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, particularmente en la producción ganadera, lo que subraya la necesidad de prácticas agrícolas más sostenibles. Con base en estos hallazgos, el documento propone fortalecer las capacidades institucionales, fomentar la cooperación regional y diseñar políticas públicas integrales que consideren las particularidades locales. El informe concluye que la transformación de los sistemas alimentarios requiere un enfoque multidimensional y colaborativo, con acciones que prioricen la equidad, la sostenibilidad y la adaptación al cambio climático.
