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. -

Book (series)Perspectivas de cosechas y situación alimentaria
Informe mundial trimestral, no. 1, marzo de 2025
2025Also available in:
El informe trianual Perspectivas de cosechas y situación alimentaria ofrece un análisis prospectivo de la situación alimentaria en el mundo, centrándose en las perspectivas de la producción cerealera, la situación del mercado y las condiciones de la seguridad alimentaria, con especial atención a los países de bajos ingresos y con déficit de alimentos.La FAO considera que, a nivel mundial, 45 países –33 en África, nueve en Asia, dos en América Latina y el Caribe y uno en Europa– necesitan ayuda alimentaria externa. Los conflictos persistentes y la inseguridad civil siguen siendo los principales factores de la inseguridad alimentaria aguda grave, con las poblaciones de la Franja de Gaza (Palestina) y Sudán enfrentándose a niveles de inseguridad alimentaria aguda de Fase 5 de la CIF (“Catástrofe”), según el último análisis de la Clasificación Integrada de la Seguridad Alimentaria en Fases (CIF).El informe también incluye el primer pronóstico de la FAO para la producción mundial de trigo en 2025, que indica un modesto crecimiento interanual, impulsado en gran medida por las recuperaciones de producción esperadas en la Unión Europea. -
Book (series)A guide to the application of a multidimensional solutions approach to food loss and waste reduction in aquatic value chains 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Loss and waste is a feature of the fisheries and aquaculture sector and efforts to understand and characterize the causes of, as well as research and develop ways of reducing fish loss and waste are ongoing. Reducing food loss and waste (FLW) is widely seen as an important way to reduce production costs and increase the efficiency of a food system, improve food security and nutrition and contribute towards environmental sustainability. Evidence suggests that a broader multidisciplinary and multistakeholder approach to reducing FLW will be more effective and yield sustainable results. Such an approach encompasses and combines interventions that link policy, the regulatory framework, social and gender equity, services and infrastructure, market issues, technology, as well as skills and knowledge. Guidance for practitioners wishing to adopt this approach can be found in the Voluntary Code of Conduct for Food Loss and Waste Reduction (CoC FLW).This technical paper describes a multidimensional solutions (MDS) approach to reduce FLW, which, whilst more challenging to apply, is felt will likely lead to more successful interventions. An overview of the MDS concept and a description of a process that can be used to develop long-term multidimensional FLW solutions strategies for the fisheries and aquaculture sector are provided. Case studies are included, as well as observations on given application issues. This MDS approach is evolving but early indications are that it warrants wider dissemination, discussion, and application. -

Journal, magazine, bulletinBoletín de seguimiento y análisis de los precios alimentarios (FPMA) No. 2 SP, 14 marzo 2025
Informe mensual sobre tendencias de los precios alimentarios
2025Also available in:
No results found.En febrero de 2025, los precios internacionales del maíz y el trigo subieron debido a la mayor escasez estacional de suministros y a la inquietud por la producción agrícola en los principales países exportadores. En cambio, las cotizaciones internacionales del arroz bajaron, ya que los abundantes suministros exportables y la débil demanda de importaciones ejercieron presión a la baja sobre los precios. El análisis de la FAO de los últimos datos sobre los precios internos de los alimentos básicos indica que los precios siguieron subiendo a nivel interanual en muchos países en enero y febrero de 2025. A nivel intermensual, los precios del maíz y el trigo aumentaron de forma estacional en América del Sur, con una fuerte demanda de exportaciones que proporcionó apoyo adicional a los aumentos de precios en los principales países exportadores. En África austral, la escasez de suministros y las presiones inflacionistas derivadas del debilitamiento de las monedas de varios países siguieron sosteniendo los elevados precios del maíz. En América Central, los precios del maíz mostraron tendencias desiguales, con la cosecha de la temporada principal causando un descenso de precios en algunas zonas, mientras que las condiciones meteorológicas adversas provocaron déficits de producción localizados y aumentos de precios en otras. En el Lejano Oriente asiático, los precios del arroz bajaron debido a la mayor disponibilidad en los mercados de la cosecha principal de 2024 en la mayoría de los países. Los precios de los cereales secundarios subieron en algunas zonas de África oriental y occidental por las perturbaciones del mercado relacionadas con los conflictos y a los déficits de producción de la cosecha de cereales de 2024.
