Описание: Promoting true development requires the guarantee of an adequate healthy diet. This can only be achieved through the commitment of States, which is why governments of the region have begun to implement measures to guide the production, distribution, marketing, processing and consumption of food.
Описание: This report indicates that nearly 137 million people in the region did not have regular access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food in 2019. Proposed policy directions to strengthen food systems include diversifying trading partners and improving local logistics.
Описание: This report consists of two main sections: 1) a situation analysis of Sustainable Development Goal 2 Target 2.1 (to end hunger and ensure access to food by all) and Target 2.2 (to end all forms of malnutrition) and analyses of the diets of children and of current food consumption patterns relative to dietary guidelines; and 2) a special look at the cost and affordability of healthy diets in Europe and Central Asia.
The new estimates confirm that the prevalence of hunger at chronic or severe levels is relatively low in the ECA region. However, the prevalence of food insecurity at moderate or severe levels can be quite high. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to add people to the ranks of the food insecure. The ECA region is making progress overall in reducing malnutrition, but it is not on track regarding childhood overweight, adult obesity, anaemia and exclusive breastfeeding. Healthy diets protect against the effects of malnutrition, in all its forms, and promote better health.
This report shows that healthy diets cost, on average, five times more than diets that meet only dietary energy needs, making them unaffordable for many people throughout the region. To increase the affordability of healthy diets, the costs of nutritious foods must be lowered. This report also shows that hidden costs are much lower with healthy diets than with current consumption patterns, meaning that adopting healthy diet alternatives could lead to large cost savings.
Описание: According to this situation analysis, the COVID-19 pandemic has posed serious threats to food security and nutrition in the region, especially for low-income and vulnerable populations.
Описание: This report notes that nearly 137 million people in the region did not have regular access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food in 2019. Proposed policy directions to strengthen food systems include diversifying trade partners and improving local logistics.
Описание: This report shares updates on progress toward SDG 2 and the World Health Assembly nutrition targets in Asia and the Pacific. Its findings show that progress has slowed, with an estimated 350.6 million people undernourished in 2019, about 51 percent of the global total.
Описание: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on food security in the region. It is in this light that this report seeks to assess how food security and nutrition indicators in the region, subregion and countries have changed under the shadow of the pandemic and to monitor the region`s progress towards achieving the SDGs.
Описание: This report concludes that ending hunger and addressing the root causes of malnutrition will require bold action on several fronts, including ending conflicts and sustaining peace, and transforming food systems through agricultural, health, nutrition, trade, food and environmental policies that are gender- and climate-sensitive.
Описание: Africa is not on track to meet SDG 2. Recent estimates show that 281.6 million people on the continent – over one-fifth of the population – faced hunger in 2020, which is 46.3 million more than in 2019.
Описание: Looks at how, despite a recent slowdown in undernourishment, food insecurity is rising due to economic downturns, conflict and climate extremes. This report suggests that countries should develop policies and invest to achieve a more diversified economy and an inclusive structural transformation.
Описание: The global trade performance in 2019 was the worst since the international financial crisis. This edition of International Trade Outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean analyses that performance, as well as the mounting trade tensions and their repercussions for the region`s own trade.
Описание: Four main topics were discussed in light of current opportunities and challenges: national food control systems; science and technology; multi-sectoral collaboration and international trading; and communication and education.
