    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
    Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
    2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030.

    2019年粮食及农业状况
    推进工作,减少粮食损失和浪费
    2019
    减少粮食损失和浪费的必要性在《2030年可持续发展议程》中得到充分体现。减少粮食损失和浪费对于改善粮食安全和营养、提高环境可持续性和降低生产成本十分重要。然而,只有全面充分认识这一问题,减少粮食损失和浪费的努力方能奏效。本报告重新估计了世界粮食从生产到零售环节的损失百分比。本报告还发现,现有的损失估计数相差悬殊,即使是同一种商品和同一个供应链环节也是如此。清晰地确定并理解具体供应链的关键损失节点,即很有可能减少粮食损失的环节,对于确定适当的措施至关重要。本报告为相关干预行动提供了一些指导原则,具体取决于希望通过减少粮食损失和浪费所追求的目标,无论是提高经济效率,改善粮食安全和营养,还是提高环境可持续性。

    Diretrizes Voluntárias para Transbordo 2025
    As Diretrizes Voluntárias para Transbordo tratam da regulamentação, monitorização e controlo do transbordo de peixe que não tenha sido previamente desembarcado, quer tenha sido transformado ou não. São estabelecidas para complementar e apoiar iniciativas e políticas existentes e novas, reconhecendo que todos os meios disponíveis devem ser utilizados em conformidade com o direito internacional e outros instrumentos internacionais para prevenir, impedir e eliminar a pesca ilegal, não declarada e não regulamentada (INDNR) e as atividades relacionadas com a pesca que facilitam a pesca INDNR. O objetivo das Diretrizes Voluntárias é prestar assistência aos Estados, às organizações ou acordos regionais de gestão das pescas, às organizações regionais de integração económica e outras organizações intergovernamentais no desenvolvimento de novos regulamentos de transbordo, na revisão dos regulamentos existentes e na integração destes no quadro regulamentar mais amplo.

    Evaluation of the project "Chile REDD-plus results-based payments for the results period 2014–2016"
    Mid-term report. Project code: GCP/CHI/048/GCF
    2025
    Also available in:

    This mid-term evaluation of the "REDD+ Payments for Results in Chile for the Period 2014-2016" project concludes that the project is progressing adequately toward its objectives, with some adjustments and a longer implementation period. The project highlights the strength of its governance models and adaptive management as key elements for its effectiveness. Regarding challenges, it highlights the need to simplify procedures and protocols in the areas of safeguards and monitoring, reporting, and verification, as well as the strengthening of technical capacities. At the territorial level, there is growing awareness of sustainable forest management, although the costs associated with implementing the Benefit Sharing System were higher than expected. The project faces tensions between conservation and livelihoods, and there is room to move toward more transformative approaches, consolidating and articulating good practices in the areas of safeguards, cross-cutting approaches, and strategies for generating socioeconomic co-benefits. The evaluation recommendations include extending the project's timeframe, adjusting targets, promoting integrated approaches, and strengthening monitoring and reporting systems.

    Soil Governance Analysis: Cambodia 2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This brief critically reviewed and analysed soil-related strategies and legislative frameworks in Cambodia, with the aim of providing targeted recommendations to policymakers for addressing eventual policy gaps and strengthening implementation and monitoring of impacts mechanisms. The analysis evaluated these strategies and legislative frameworks based on how well they address critical soil threats specific to the country, as well as the extent to which they are implemented, monitored, and improved over time. The assessment, supported by officers from relevant government agencies and institutions, focused on evaluating the following key criteria:1. Legislative Frameworks: analysis of the number and type of existing strategies and legislative frameworks and their effectiveness in addressing the dominant soil threats in the country.2. Institutional Arrangements: analysis of government agencies or institutions' roles in the formulation, implementation and monitoring of soil strategies and legislative frameworks, as well as their mechanism of collaboration and information exchange.3. Implementation: evaluation of the strategies in place for promoting, monitoring, and assessing the implementation of soil-related strategies and legislative frameworks, including enforcement mechanisms. 4. Feedback system: evaluation of the processes for ongoing improvement of soil strategies and legislative frameworks based on outcomes and stakeholder feedback.

    Protecting pollinators from pesticides
    Issues and options to consider when drafting pesticide legislation, beekeeping legislation, and biodiversity legislation
    2025
    Also available in:

    This document is a product of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) under the European Union funded programme “Capacity Building Related to Multilateral Environmental Agreements in African, Caribbean and Pacific Countries Phase III (ACP MEAs 3). FAO recognizes biodiversity and ecosystem services as the basis for sustainable food production and resilient livelihoods. In the face of the growing challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, FAO leads the global agenda on mainstreaming biodiversity across agricultural sectors for sustainable agrifood systems. The ACP-MEAs 3 project aims to enhance sound biodiversity and agrochemical management working at the national, regional and global levels.The objective of protecting pollinators from pesticides can touch on many different interconnected sectors. When viewed under a One Health approach, several different legislative domains, as well as the interlinkages between them, are important to consider in order to provide the legal tools necessary to support efforts to protect pollinators from pesticides. Accordingly, this document explores how selected features observed in national pesticide legislation, beekeeping legislation, and biodiversity legislation can be adapted to provide stronger tools which can be used to help protect pollinators from pesticides.
