On s'attend à ce que des millions de personnes soient touchées par une aggravation de la faim dans un avenir proche en raison des conséquences de la guerre en Ukraine, qui s'ajoutent aux effets dévastateurs des conflits, de la variabilité du climat et des extrêmes climatiques, des ralentissements et des fléchissements économiques, et des répercussions de la pandémie de covid-19 sur les personnes les plus vulnérables. Dans ce contexte, les inégalités sociales et de genre sont également en augmentation, les femmes et les filles étant parmi les plus touchées par ces chocs. Malgré les efforts déployés dans plusieurs pays, le continent africain n'est pas en passe d'atteindre les cibles en matière de sécurité alimentaire et de nutrition de l'objectif de développement durable Faim zéro pour 2030, ni les cibles de Malabo visant à éliminer la faim et toutes les formes de malnutrition à l'horizon 2025. Les estimations les plus récentes montrent qu'environ 282 millions de personnes (soit 20 pour cent de la population africaine) étaient sous-alimentées en 2022, soit 57 millions de personnes de plus depuis le début de la pandémie de covid-19. Environ 868 millions de personnes étaient en situation d'insécurité alimentaire modérée ou grave et plus d'un tiers d'entre elles – 342 millions de personnes – étaient en situation d'insécurité alimentaire grave. Cette édition du rapport présente les dernières analyses de la prévalence et des tendances de la sous-alimentation, de l'insécurité alimentaire et de la malnutrition. En outre, elle inclut pour la première fois des estimations du coût et de l'abordabilité d'une alimentaire saine, qui sont des indicateurs utiles de l'accès économique des poopulations aux aliments nutritifs et à une alimentation saine. Le rapport montre qu'il est impératif que les pays intensifient leurs efforts s'ils veulent parvenir à un monde libéré de la faim et de la malnutrition à l'horizon 2030.

Book excerpt: Ce rapport fait le point sur les progrès accomplis au niveau mondial en direction des objectifs d’éradication de la faim (cible 2.1 des ODD) et d’élimination de la malnutrition sous toutes ses formes (cible 2.2). Il montre que la faim est demeurée relativement stable au niveau mondial entre 2021 et 2022, mais qu’elle se maintient largement au-dessus du niveau enregistré avant la pandémie de covid-19, et même qu’elle augmente dans de nombreuses régions où les populations n’ont pas encore pu compenser les pertes de revenus occasionnées par la pandémie, ou ont été durement touchées par la flambée des prix des denrées alimentaires, des intrants agricoles et de l’énergie, par des conflits et/ou par des phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes. Le rapport donne également des estimations actualisées concernant les milliards de personnes qui n’ont pas accès toute l’année à une alimentation nutritive, sans danger pour la santé et en quantité suffisante. Il fait apparaître que, dans l’ensemble, nous sommes bien mal engagés pour atteindre l’ensemble des cibles liées à la nutrition. Si des progrès sont observés en ce qui concerne d’importants indicateurs de la nutrition infantile, l’augmentation du taux d’excès pondéral constatée chez les enfants de moins de 5 ans dans de nombreux pays laisse présager un accroissement de la charge des maladies non transmissibles. L’urbanisation progresse dans de nombreux pays et ce rapport montre qu’elle modifie les systèmes agroalimentaires d’une façon qu’il n’est plus possible d’appréhender sous l’angle de la simple dichotomie entre milieu rural et milieu urbain. L’évolution des agglomérations tout le long du continuum rural-urbain et la fonction d’interface que celles-ci exercent en tant que lieux d’échange et d’interactions socioéconomiques modifient les systèmes agroalimentaires et sont modifiées par eux, ce qui n’est pas sans conséquences pour la disponibilité et l’accessibilité économique des aliments sains, et donc pour la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition. De nouvelles données indiquent que, dans certains pays, ce ne sont plus seulement les ménages urbains mais aussi les ménages ruraux qui achètent une part élevée des aliments qu’ils consomment. Dans plusieurs pays, la consommation d’aliments hautement transformés augmente également dans les zones périurbaines et les zones rurales. Les effets de ces changements sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition des individus diffèrent selon l’endroit où ceux-ci vivent le long du continuum rural-urbain.

This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans les éditions 2017 et 2018 de la Vue d’ensemble régionale de la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition en Afrique, la FAO a signalé que la prévalence de la sous-alimentation augmentait dans la région. Les dernières données montrent que la détérioration a ralenti, mais il reste 256 millions de personnes souffrant de la faim en Afrique aujourd’hui. Le rapport indique en outre que, bien que de nombreux pays africains progressent dans la réduction de la malnutrition, les progrès sont trop lents pour atteindre les six objectifs nutritionnels clés, qui font partie du cadre de suivi des Objectifs de développement durable (ODD) et des Objectifs mondiaux en matière de nutrition de l’Assemblée mondiale de la Santé. L’insécurité alimentaire s’est accrue en Afrique ces dernières années et le continent n’est pas en bonne voie d’éliminer la faim d’ici 2030. Les ralentissements économiques qui ont contribué à la sous-alimentation croissante en 2014-2018 ont été le résultat de la chute des prix des produits de base. Des nombreux outils politiques efficaces sont disponibles. Les pays doivent élaborer des politiques et investir pour parvenir à une économie plus diversifiée et réaliser une transformation structurelle inclusive. Toutefois, une croissance économique ne suffit pas: la réduction des inégalités, y compris les inégalités spatiales et entre les sexes, est essentielle pour renforcer la résilience des ménages, ouvrir la voie à une croissance inclusive, réduire l’insécurité alimentaire et s’attaquer à la formes multiples de malnutrition.

This book was released on 2018-04-04 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The communauté internationale s'est engagée à éliminer la faim et toute forms de malnutrition dans le monde d'ici à 2030. Des progrès importants ont certes été accomplis, maize les situations de conflit et les catastrophes of origin naturelle ou humaine constituent des obstacles . Le présent rapport sur L'État de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition dans le monde prévient que la tendance de fond à la baisse de la sous-alimentation semble connaitre a coup d'arrêt et qu'elle s'est peut-être même inversée, en grande partie sous l'effet des dits obstacles. Parallèlement, alors que la situation continua de s'améliorer sur le plan de malnutrition infantile, the progression de l'exces pondéral et de l'obésité est préoccupante dans la plupart des régions du monde. Ces constats, ainsi que d’autres, sont présentés en détail dans l’édition 2017 de L’État de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition dans le monde (auparavant intitulé L’État de l’insécurité alimentaire dans le monde). Pour la première fois cette année, la publication du rapport est le fruit d’un partenariat élargi auquel, outre la FAO, le FIDA et le PAM, sont désormais associés l’OMS et l’UNICEF. Ce rapport marque également une nouvelle ère dans le suivi de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition dans le contexte du Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030. Afin de mesurer les progrès réalisés quant à la concrétisation de l’objectif d’élimination de la faim, les auteurs se sont appuyés à la fois sur l’indicateur habituel de prévalence de la sous-alimentation et sur un nouvel indicateur – la prévalence de l’insécurité alimentaire grave – fondé sur l’échelle de mesure de l’insécurité alimentaire fondée sur les expériences. Le rapport analyse en outre diverses formes de malnutrition, notamment les tendances et les situations intéressant le retard de croissance, l’émaciation et l’excès pondéral chez l’enfant ainsi que l’obésité chez l’adulte. La partie thématique du rapport permet de mieux comprendre la mesure dans laquelle la multiplication des conflits dans le monde a des répercussions sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition. Elle montre par ailleurs comment, par un renforcement de la sécurité alimentaire et de la résilience des moyens d’existence des populations rurales, il est possible de contribuer à la prévention des conflits et au maintien de la paix.

Download or read book Edible Insects written by Arnold van Huis and published by Bright Sparks. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edible insects have always been a part of human diets, but in some societies there remains a degree of disdain and disgust for their consumption. Although the majority of consumed insects are gathered in forest habitats, mass-rearing systems are being developed in many countries. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries. It shows the many traditional and potential new uses of insects for direct human consumption and the opportunities for and constraints to farming them for food and feed. It examines the body of research on issues such as insect nutrition and food safety, the use of insects as animal feed, and the processing and preservation of insects and their products. It highlights the need to develop a regulatory framework to govern the use of insects for food security. And it presents case studies and examples from around the world. Edible insects are a promising alternative to the conventional production of meat, either for direct human consumption or for indirect use as feedstock. To fully realise this potential, much work needs to be done by a wide range of stakeholders. This publication will boost awareness of the many valuable roles that insects play in sustaining nature and human life, and it will stimulate debate on the expansion of the use of insects as food and feed.

This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year’s report presents evidence that the absolute number of people who suffer from hunger continues to slowly increase. The report also highlights that food insecurity is more than just hunger. For the first time, the report provides evidence that many people in the world, even if not hungry, experience moderate food insecurity as they face uncertainties about their ability to obtain food and are forced to compromise on the quality and/or quantity of the food they consume. This phenomenon is observed globally, not only in low- and middle-income countries but also in high income countries. The report also shows that the world is not on track to meet global nutrition targets, including those on low birthweight and on reducing stunting among children under five years. Moreover, overweight and obesity continue to increase in all regions, particularly among school-age children and adults. The report stresses that no region is exempt from the epidemic of overweight and obesity, underscoring the necessity of multifaceted, multisectoral approaches to halt and reverse these worrying trends. In light of the fragile state of the world economy, the report presents new evidence confirming that hunger has been on the rise for many countries where the economy has slowed down or contracted. Unpacking the links between economic slowdowns and downturns and food insecurity and malnutrition, the report contends that the effects of the former on the latter can only be offset by addressing the root causes of hunger and malnutrition: poverty, inequality and marginalization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our global agricultural and food system is broken and needs to transition to one that is more sustainable and beneficial to the worlds population. This seems hard in the face of the linked challenges of climate change, natural resource depletion, and worldwide economic and social upheaval. At the same time, farmer-led social movements are growing, and there is increasing recognition that agroecology and food sovereignty are key solutions for both nutritious food security and climate change adaptation. This book takes you along in the transition to agroecology, which is already happening, worldwide! The author shows us the as of yet dispersed but growing movement of many smallholder farmers, projects, programs, research, and policy agendas that are making the change. Since the daily news prevents us from noticing, Jelleke shows us the most beautiful and intriguing examples of ground-breaking people and projects. She gives you the keys for transition. She makes us look back from 2030. What have we done by thenyou and I, your friends and colleagues, investors and politiciansto have arrived in a changed food-secure world where agroecology is the new normal? This book is a must-read for researchers, politicians, students, and consumers alike.

This book was released on 2021-07-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation. To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world. In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addressing the pervasive problem of hunger in the developing world, reliable information on food insecurity is essential for effectively targeting assistance, developing interventions, and evaluating progress. Yet arriving at an accurate and comparable measure of food insecurity remains a challenge. This report introduces new estimates of food insecurity based on food acquisition data collected as part of national household expenditure surveys (HESs). The report explores the extent and location of food insecurity, the scientific merit of estimates derived from HES food data, the differences between HES-based estimates and those reported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and-ultimately-how HES data can be used to improve the accuracy of the FAO estimates currently used to monitor progress toward reducing hunger

Download or read book Food Systems in Africa written by Gaëlle Balineau and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid population growth, poorly planned urbanization, and evolving agricultural production and distribution practices are changing foodways in African cities and creating challenges: Africans are increasingly facing hunger, undernutrition, and malnutrition. Yet change also creates new opportunities. The food economy currently is the main source of jobs on the continent, promising more employment in the near future in farming, food processing, and food product distribution. These opportunities are undermined, however, by inefficient links among farmers, intermediaries, and consumers, leading to the loss of one-third of all food produced. This volume is an in-depth analysis of food system shortcomings in three West African cities: Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire; Rabat, Morocco; and Niamey, Niger. Using the lens of geographical economics and sociology, the authors draw on quantitative and qualitative field surveys and case studies to offer insightful analyses of political institutions. They show the importance of “hard†? physical infrastructure, such as transport, storage, and wholesale and retail market facilities. They also describe the “soft†? infrastructure of institutions that facilitate trade, such as interpersonal trust, market information systems, and business climates. The authors find that the vague mandates and limited capacities of national trade and agriculture ministries, regional and urban authorities, neighborhood councils, and market cooperatives often hamper policy interventions. This volume comes to a simple conclusion: international development policy makers and their financial and technical partners have neglected urban markets for far too long, and now is the time to rethink and reinvest in this complex yet crucial subject.

Download or read book Developing Sustainable Food Value Chains written by David Neven and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2014 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using sustainable food value chain development (SFVCD) approaches to reduce poverty presents both great opportunities and daunting challenges. SFVCD requires a systems approach to identifying root problems, innovative thinking to find effective solutions and broad-based partnerships to implement programmes that have an impact at scale. In practice, however, a misunderstanding of its fundamental nature can easily result in value-chain projects having limited or non-sustainable impact. Furthermore, development practitioners around the world are learning valuable lessons from both failures and successes, but many of these are not well disseminated. This new set of handbooks aims to address these gaps by providing practical guidance on SFVCD to a target audience of policy-makers, project designers and field practitioners. This first handbook provides a solid conceptual foundation on which to build the subsequent handbooks. It (1) clearly defines the concept of a sustainable food value chain; (2) presents and discusses a development paradigm that integrates the multidimensional concepts of sustainability and value added; (3) presents, discusses and illustrates ten principles that underlie SFVCD; and (4) discusses the potential and limitations of using the value-chain concept in food-systems development. By doing so, the handbook makes a strong case for placing SFVCD at the heart of any strategy aimed at reducing poverty and hunger in the long run.

This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Year of Fruits and Vegetables 2021 (IYFV), as declared by the UN General Assembly in Resolution A/RES/74/244, aims at raising awareness of, directing policy attention to, and sharing good practices on the nutritional and health benefits of fruit and vegetable consumption, the contribution of fruit and vegetable consumption to the promotion of diversified, balanced and healthy diets and lifestyles, and reducing loss and waste of fruits and vegetables. This background paper outlines the benefits of fruit and vegetable consumption, but also examines the various aspects of the fruit and vegetable sector from a food systems approach: from sustainable production and trade to loss and waste management. This paper provides an overview of the sector and a framework and a starting point for discussion for the Year, highlighting the interlinkages of stakeholders and key issues to be considered for action during the IYFV.
