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)Improving biosecurity through prudent and responsible use of veterinary medicines in aquatic food production 2012
Also available in:
No results found.The current trend towards increasing intensification and diversification of global aquaculture has lead to its dramatic growth, thus making aquaculture an important food-producing sector that provides an essential source of aquatic protein for a growing human population. For both developed and developing countries, the sector is recognized as creator of jobs and an important source of foreign export earnings. The expansion of commercial aquaculture, as is the case in commercial livestock and pou ltry production, has necessitated the routine use of veterinary medicines to prevent and treat disease outbreaks due to pathogens, assure healthy stocks and maximize production. The expanded and occasionally irresponsible global movements of live aquatic animals have been accompanied by the transboundary spread of a wide variety of pathogens that have sometimes caused serious damage to aquatic food productivity and resulted in serious pathogens becoming endemic in culture systems and the natura l aquatic environment. The use of appropriate antimicrobial treatments is one of the most effective management responses to emergencies associated with infectious disease epizootics. However, their inappropriate use can lead to problems related to increased frequency of bacterial resistance and the potential transfer of resistance genes in bacteria from the aquatic environment to other bacteria. Injudicious use of antimicrobials has also resulted in the occurrence of their residues in aquacultur e products, and as a consequence, bans by importing countries and associated economic impacts, including market loss have occurred. Since disease emergencies can happen even in well-managed aquaculture operations, careful planning on the use antimicrobials is essential in order to maximize their efficacy and minimize the selection pressure for increased frequencies of resistant variants. The prudent and responsible use of veterinary medicines is an essential component of successful commercial aq uaculture production systems. The FAO/AAHRI Expert Workshop on Improving Biosecurity through Prudent and Responsible Use of Veterinary Medicines in Aquatic Food Production was convened in Bangkok, Thailand from 15 to 18 December 2009, in order to understand the current status of the use of antimicrobials in aquaculture and to discuss the concerns and impacts of their irresponsible use on human health, the aquatic environment and trade. Such discussions became the basis for drafting recommenda tions targeted to the state and private sectors and for developing guiding principles on the responsible use of antimicrobials in aquaculture that will be part of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries Technical Guidelines on Prudent and Responsible Use of Veterinary Medicines in Aquaculture. Since aquaculture is expected to continue to increase its contribution to the world¿s production of aquatic food, offer opportunities to alleviate poverty, increase employment and community de velopment and reduce overexploitation of natural aquatic resources, appropriate guidance to aquaculture stakeholders on the responsible use of veterinary medicines has become essential. Safe and effective veterinary medicines need to be available for efficient aquaculture production, and their use should be in line with established principles on prudent use to safeguard public and animal health. The use of such medicines should be part of national and on-farm biosecurity plans and in accordance with an overall national policy for sustainable aquaculture. This publication is presented in two parts: Part 1 contains 15 technical background papers presented during the expert workshop, contributed by 28 specialists and which served as a basis for the expert workshop deliberations; Part 2 contains the highlights of the expert workshop.

Book (series)Report of the Workshop on fisheries-related other effective area-based conservation measures in the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia
Bangkok, 6–8 December 2023
2025Also available in:
No results found.Given the importance of other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) for biodiversity and the need to improve individual countries’ capacity to report fisheries-related OECMs and understand how the fisheries sector contributes to current and future area-based biodiversity conservation objectives, FAO has been carrying out a series of activities to support countries to identify and implement OECMs. These activities include organizing workshops and developing practical guidance, as requested by FAO’s Committee on Fisheries (COFI). With the support of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), FAO organized the workshop on fisheries-related other effective area-based conservation measures in the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia. The workshop was held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 6 to 8 December 2023. This workshop was attended by representatives from governments, academia, non-governmental organizations, and intergovernmental organizations from the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia region and aimed to build their capacity to apply the CBD criteria for the identification of OECMs and understand the challenges, opportunities, and needs that arise in the identification of fisheries-related OECMs. To achieve these objectives, topics discussed included concepts and criteria for the identification, evaluation, and reporting of OECMs; examples of fisheries area-based management tools that contribute to biodiversity conservation; conservation strategies and the advances in the recognition of other effective area-based conservation measures in the region; and the presentation of case studies carried out in Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, and Sri Lanka. The workshop enabled extensive exchanges on the difficulties of interpreting the concepts and criteria for the identification, evaluation, and reporting of OECMs, as well as the key points and challenges in analysing and considering potential OECMs. -
BookletGlobal coffee market and recent price developments 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages worldwide and ranks among the most traded commodities globally. It sustains the livelihoods of some 25 million farmers and creates additional employment throughout the coffee value chain. For many low-income countries, coffee exports represent an important source of revenue, generating foreign currency reserves essential for securing access to global markets for the import of goods and services. International coffee prices began rising in late 2023 and continued climbing through most of 2024, due to limited supplies from Viet Nam and Indonesia and adverse weather affecting production in Brazil. -
