En todo el mundo, 222 millones de personas están sufriendo una grave inseguridad alimentaria aguda, y casi una de cada cinco de ellas tiene dificultades para acceder a alimentos suficientes para sobrevivir al día. Son principalmente agricultores, pescadores, pastores y silvicultores, cuyos medios de subsistencia más básicos se han visto devastados por conflictos o fenómenos meteorológicos extremos (sequías e inundaciones), plagas, enfermedades o la constante perturbación derivada de la inestabilidad y las turbulencias económicas. La ayuda agrícola es ayuda humanitaria que salva vidas. Las intervenciones agrícolas urgentes y en las que el tiempo apremia, en especial cuando se combinan con asistencia alimentaria y en efectivo, tienen enormes repercusiones en la disponibilidad de alimentos, la nutrición y el desplazamiento, entre otras cosas, con lo que reducen notablemente otros costos humanitarios. Lo que resulta más importante es que estas intervenciones están orientadas a las necesidades y prioridades de las comunidades afectadas, lo que les permite permanecer en sus hogares cuando es seguro hacerlo, satisfacer sus propias necesidades y dirigir su propia recuperación futura. En el marco de los llamamientos humanitarios de 2023, la FAO necesita 1 900 millones de USD para ayudar a casi 50 millones de personas a obtener acceso a un suministro estable de alimentos nutritivos, facilitar su recuperación y sentar las bases de la resiliencia ante futuras perturbaciones. |
