Herramientas de recopilación y análisis de datos para la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición - Consulta electrónica del GANESAN sobre el alcance del informe

Durante su 46ª sesión plenaria (14-18 de octubre de 2019), el CSA adoptó su Programa de trabajo de cuatro años (PTPA) para 2020-2023, que incluye una solicitud al GANESAN para que produzca un informe sobre “Herramientas de recopilación y análisis de datos” para la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición”, que se presentará en la 50ª sesión plenaria del CSA en octubre de 2022. Para implementar esta solicitud del CSA, el GANESAN está poniendo en marcha una consulta electrónica abierta para recabar opiniones y comentarios sobre el alcance y elementos fundamentales del informe.

FAO/GIEWS quarterly global report Crop Prospects and Food Situation

FAO/GIEWS has released the latest issue of the Crop Prospects and Food Situation quarterly report, which highlights that food assistance needs grow as the COVID-19 pandemic hits incomes. Globally, 45 countries, including 34 in Africa, are in need of external assistance for food. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly through the loss of income and jobs related to containment measures, have severely aggravated global food security conditions, as well as increasing the number of people in need of assistance. Conflicts and weather shocks remained critical factors affecting the current high levels of severe food insecurity.

HIGHLIGHTS

Africa

Larger harvests are estimated in Southern Africa and East Africa, despite floods and outbreaks of desert locusts; although pest damages have been largely contained, serious concerns remain in some countries. Adverse weather reduced wheat outputs in North African countries, while cereal production in West Africa is foreseen at a slightly above-average level. Protracted conflicts continue to limit growth in agricultural production in Central Africa.

Asia

Widespread floods caused damage in several countries in Far East Asia, but rains across the subregion were also beneficial for paddy production and the output in 2020 is forecast at a record high. In the Near East, reflecting improved security conditions and favourable weather, production upturns were estimated in the Syrian Arab Republic and Iraq in 2020. Rainfall shortages generally kept wheat outputs in CIS countries at below-average levels, but barley production increased driven by larger plantings.

Latin America and the Caribbean

In South America, cereal production is forecast to reach a new record high in 2020 underpinned by large maize plantings in Brazil and Argentina, as weak currencies boosted export demand and incentivized farmers. In Central America and the Caribbean, overall favourable weather conditions supported good yields, and cereal production in 2020 is expected at a slightly above-average level.
