This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coronavirus pandemic has upended local, national, and global food systems, and put the Sustainable Development Goals further out of reach. But lessons from the world’s response to the pandemic can help address future shocks and contribute to food system change. In the 2021 Global Food Policy Report, IFPRI researchers and other food policy experts explore the impacts of the pandemic and government policy responses, particularly for the poor and disadvantaged, and consider what this means for transforming our food systems to be healthy, resilient, efficient, sustainable, and inclusive. Chapters in the report look at balancing health and economic policies, promoting healthy diets and nutrition, strengthening social protection policies and inclusion, integrating natural resource protection into food sector policies, and enhancing the contribution of the private sector. Regional sections look at the diverse experiences around the world, and a special section on finance looks at innovative ways of funding food system transformation. Critical questions addressed include: - Who felt the greatest impact from falling incomes and food system disruptions caused by the pandemic? - How can countries find an effective balance among health, economic, and social policies in the face of crisis? - How did lockdowns affect diet quality and quantity in rural and urban areas? - Do national social protection systems such as cash transfers have the capacity to protect poor and vulnerable groups in a global crisis? - Can better integration of agricultural and ecosystem polices help prevent the next pandemic? - How did companies accelerate ongoing trends in digitalization and integration to keep food supply chains moving? - What different challenges did the pandemic spark in Asia, Africa, and Latin America and how did these regions respond?

Book excerpt: 2020年在诸多方面都让我们始料未及。新冠肺炎(COVID-19)疫情为全球带来了一场大规模的公共卫生灾难,各国均陷入了疫情及其相关应对政策带来的不同程度的经济困境,面临服务严重中断和人员流动严重受限的局面。无论是富裕国家还是贫穷国家,均未能幸免。在中低收入国家,许多弱势群体直接面临食物安全、医疗和营养方面的威胁。丧失生计、营养不良、教育中断和资源枯竭造成的长期影响可能性非常巨大,特别是对许多国家来说,距离新冠肺炎疫情的结束还遥遥无期。此外,疫情还凸显并加剧了我们食物系统的薄弱环节和不平等状况。一年过去了,全球因新冠肺炎疫情而进一步偏离了到2030年实现可持续发展目标(SDG)的进程。显然,食物系统可以在推动我们走上正轨方面发挥核心作用。要想实现可持续发展目标,就必须对食物系统进行转型,帮助我们更好地为下一次冲击做好准备,同时造福世界贫困人口和弱势群体以及我们的地球。 福兮祸所伏,祸兮福所倚。2020年在颠覆我们的世界的同时,也为我们提供了一系列可指导和促进食物系统转型的经验和创新方法。尽管收入损失导致食物安全和营养水平严重下降,并且这种情况可能会持续存在,但事实证明,食物供应链的抗逆力超出预期。从新冠肺炎疫情开始,各国政府便采取了一系列措施确保食物流通,并扩大社会保障网络,为食物安全提供保障。同时,私营部门在食物供应链中引入创新方法,帮助克服封锁造成的供应链中断。此外,由于食物系统在2020年发挥的核心作用和适应能力有目共睹,这为食物系统转型增添了强劲动力。

Как в богатых, так и в бедных странах пандемия коронавирусной инфекции и связанные с ней политические решения привели к широкомасштабному бедственному положению в области здравоохранения, экономическим трудностям, серьезным сбоям в работе организаций сферы услуг и критическим ограничениям на передвижение. В странах с низким и средним уровнем дохода (СНСД) многие уязвимые слои населения столкнулись с угрозами непосредственной продовольственной безопасности, здоровью и полноценному питанию. Высока вероятность потенциальных долгосрочных последствий, вызванных утратой источников средств к существованию, неполноценным питанием, прерванным образованием и истощениемзапасов, особенно с учетом того, что во многих странах не наблюдается признаков конца пандемии. Пандемия также выявила и зачастую усугубила слабые места и неравенства в наших продовольственных системах. Год спустя мир все больше отклоняется от намеченного курса по достижению целей устойчивого развития (ЦУР) до 2030 года, и очевидно, продовольственные системы должны играть центральную роль в том, чтобы вернуть нас к этому курсу. Продовольственные системы нуждаются в трансформации для того, чтобы достичь ЦУР, лучше подготовить нас к следующему возможному потрясению, помочь бедным и уязви-мым слоям населения во всем мире, а также самой планете.

This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions. The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition.

This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the health, economic, and social disruptions caused by this global crisis continue to evolve. The impacts of the pandemic are likely to endure for years to come, with poor, marginalized, and vulnerable groups the most affected. In COVID-19 & Global Food Security: Two Years Later, the editors bring together contributions from new IFPRI research, blogs, and the CGIAR COVID-19 Hub to examine the pandemic’s effects on poverty, food security, nutrition, and health around the world. This volume presents key lessons learned on food security and food system resilience in 2020 and 2021 and assesses the effectiveness of policy responses to the crisis. Looking forward, the authors consider how the pandemic experience can inform both recovery and longer-term efforts to build more resilient food systems.

Book excerpt: "Advancing Gender Equality through Agricultural and Environmental Research: Past, Present, and Future stands to become the new go-to resource on gender in agriculture. Bringing together contributions from more than 60 authors who expertly straddle gender research and agricultural science, it offers important insights for the wider agricultural research and development communities. A comprehensive synthesis of CGIAR gender research to date, it not only illuminates what we know - and what we don't yet know - about the contributions of gender research to development outcomes, but also, and especially, investigates the contribution of agricultural development to gender equality outcomes. The lessons emerging from this synthesis have important implications for work that supports countries to achieve their national development objectives, as well as for our collective approach to meeting global targets such as the Sustainable Development Goals"--
