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. -

BookletLao People's Democratic Republic: Registries, risk reduction and resilience
Improving vulnerability and risk analysis to enhance social registries for shock-responsive social protection
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has been conducting vulnerability and risk analysis for agricultural populations since the early 2000s. The Sendai Framework has further advanced this work by providing a structured approach to assessing exposure, vulnerabilities, and adaptive capacity using diverse data sources and tools. In the Asia-Pacific region, FAO continues to develop and apply practical tools for large-scale, population-based analyses to inform disaster risk management, climate change adaptation, and social protection policies. In the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, high disaster risk and a predominantly agricultural workforce contribute to multidimensional vulnerabilities. Agriculture employs 70 percent of the population, with over half of households relying on subsistence farming. Between 1970 and 2010, the country experienced 33 natural hazards, affecting 9 million people and causing over USD 400 million in economic losses. In 2019 alone, 13 percent of households faced multiple hazards, such as droughts, floods, and landslides. Robust vulnerability and risk analysis systems are essential for designing and targeting climate-sensitive social protection programmes that address poverty, risk reduction, and resilience-building in the agriculture sector. This publication reviews datasets from the Lao People's Democratic Republic to assess their capacity to generate relevant indicators for vulnerability and risk analysis. The review aims to enhance risk assessment methodologies to improve the design and implementation of social protection, anticipatory action, and shock-responsive interventions for agricultural communities. -

Journal, magazine, bulletinBulletin de suivi et analyse des prix alimentaires (FPMA) #3 FR, 14 avril 2025
Rapport mensuel sur les tendances des prix alimentaires
2025Also available in:
No results found.Les cours internationaux du maïs, du blé et du riz ont chuté en mars 2025. La montée des tensions commerciales a pesé sur la confiance des marchés concernant le maïs et le blé. La baisse des prix mondiaux des céréales s’explique également par l’arrivée des récoltes saisonnières en provenance de l’hémisphère Sud, une demande d’importation mondiale en recul, ainsi qu’un apaisement des inquiétudes liées à la production dans certains grands pays exportateurs. Les prix internationaux du riz ont également fléchi, témoignant de la faiblesse de la demande d’importation et de l’abondance des disponibilités exportables. L’analyse par la FAO des dernières données disponibles sur les prix des denrées alimentaires de base montre que les conflits prolongés et les défis macroéconomiques ont maintenu les prix des céréales à des niveaux élevés d’une année sur l’autre dans certaines régions d’Afrique de l’Est et d’Afrique de l’Ouest. En Afrique australe, les prix du maïs blanc ont continué d’augmenter, conformément à la tendance qui a prévalu pendant la majeure partie de 2024 et le premier trimestre de 2025. Au Proche-Orient et en Afrique du Nord, les prix des denrées de base telles que la farine de blé, le pain et le riz ont affiché une forte volatilité au cours de l’année écoulée, en raison principalement de conflits et d’aléas climatiques. En Amérique centrale, en mars 2025 les prix du maïs blanc étaient inférieurs à ceux observés un an plus tôt. En Amérique du Sud, les prix du blé et du maïs jaune étaient généralement plus élevés en glissement annuel, soutenus par la vigueur de la demande locale et la dépréciation des monnaies dans certains pays importateurs nets. En Europe orientale, dans le Caucase et en Asie centrale, les prix intérieurs de la farine de blé sont restés relativement stables et proches des niveaux observés un an plus tôt dans la plupart des pays importateurs nets de blé. En Extrême-Orient et en Amérique du Sud, les prix du riz ont généralement baissé en glissement annuel, sous la pression de volumes d’importation adéquats et de disponibilités locales accrues issues des récoltes en cours.
