The State of Food and Agriculture 2015 - Social protection and agriculture: breaking the cycle of rural poverty
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on reducing poverty have been met by many countries, yet many others lag behind and the post-2015 challenge will be the full eradication of poverty and hunger. Many developing countries increasingly recognize that social protection measures are needed to relieve the immediate deprivation of people living in poverty and to prevent others from falling into poverty when a crisis strikes.
This edition of The State of Food and Agriculture 2015 makes the case that social protection measures will help break the cycle of rural poverty and vulnerability, when combined with broader agricultural and rural development measures.

Registrations are open: Sustainable Energy Technologies for Food Utilization in Emergency Contexts
Sustainable Energy Technologies for Food Utilization in Emergency Contexts
Wednesday, October 28, 2015
9AM-2PM
Location: Council on Foreign Relations
Washington, DC
This conference is addressed to high-level experts in the field of humanitarian action, as well as of energy, food security and nutrition. The “Sustainable Energy Technologies for Food Utilization” (SET4food) is a project co-funded by COOPI-Cooperazione Internazionale, Politecnico di Milano, Fondazione Politecnico and the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection Department (ECHO).
The specific objective of the project is to enhance the response capacity of humanitarian actors in identifying and implementing efficient and sustainable energy technologies for food utilization. The project takes into account the combination of food utilization and energy availability in formal and informal settlements for refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs). Practical tools to improve food utilization have been developed, and in particular: i) a decision support system (DSS) to facilitate the identification of the most appropriate energy technologies for a certain context; ii) guidelines of energy technologies for food utilization. Then pilot projects in Somalia, Central African Republic, Lebanon and Haiti have been implemented, in order to test the DSS, as well as innovative solutions. Finally, a set of in-presence trainings and public events have been raising the attention and improving the response capacity of humanitarian actors.
An open access e-learning course has been developed. All the material is accessible on the project website: www.set4food.org.

Why has Africa become a net food importer?
That Africa has become a net importer of food and of agricultural products, despite its vast agricultural potential, is puzzling. Using data mainly for the period 1960-2007, this report seeks to explain Africa’s food-trade deficit since the mid-1970s. The core finding is that population growth, low...

Programme d'action pour combattre l'insécurité alimentaire lors des crises prolongées
Les crises prolongées font partie des contextes les plus difficiles dans la lutte contre l'insécurité alimentaire et la malnutrition. En 2010, le Comité de la sécurité alimentaire mondiale (CSA) a déterminé que les crises prolongées nécessitaient une attention particulière et a lancé un processus consultatif pour mettre au point un Programme d’action pour combattre l’insécurité alimentaire dans les crises prolongées (CSA-A4A). Cette consultation en ligne sollicite votre contribution concernant l'avant-projet version zéro.
