The Guide to Effective Collaborative Action is built on the foundation of 10 years' experience in transforming food and agricultural commodity systems by UNDP's Green Commodities Programme. It is broadening the application from support to commodity production to the transformation of food systems. The four building blocks of putting systems change into practice, integrated with backbone support and essential practices for stakeholder actions, provide a framework for Changing Systems through Collaborative Action.
Scientific advances, technical innovations and application of digital technology have the potential to contribute to a wide-scale structural transformation of food systems. In food safety and process control, as in other areas, technical advances outpace the understanding of how to use these tools to their greatest advantage and how they should be regulated. This thematic brief for the First FAO/WHO/AU International Food Safety Conference outlines key issues - strategic direction of science and innovation in food systems.
Les progrès scientifiques, les innovations techniques et l'application des technologies numériques peuvent contribuer à une transformation structurelle à grande échelle des systèmes alimentaires. Dans le domaine de la sécurité sanitaire des aliments et du contrôle des processus, comme dans d'autres domaines, le rythme du progrès technique est si rapide qu'il est difficile de savoir comment exploiter au maximum les outils qui en découlent et les réglementer.
As the world gets hotter and rainfall more erratic, the type and availability of ingredients for daily meals are changing. With support from the Government of Canada and the Global Environment Facility’s Least Developed Countries Fund, the Canada-UNDP Climate Change Adaptation Facility (CCAF) has been supporting six least developed countries and small island developing states (Cabo Verde, Cambodia, Haiti, Mali, Niger and Sudan) to strengthen climate resilience and enhance food security. To better understand and share the experiences from these six countries, and to celebrate some of the s
As climate change continues to drive food insecurity, addressing the risks of climate change across the value chain – especially agricultural products that are important to food and nutrition security – will yield significant adaptation benefits to vulnerable small producers and rural communities at large. This will support global efforts to end hunger and poverty, build more effective farming practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and accelerate the ambition of Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement.
La faim dans le monde s'est considérablement aggravée en 2020, ont déclaré aujourd'hui les Nations Unies – une aggravation qui est probablement liée en grande partie aux répercussions de la pandémie de COVID-19. On ne dispose pas encore d'une image complète de l'impact de la pandémie*, mais d'après un rapport établi conjointement par plusieurs organismes des Nations Unies, un dixième environ de la population mondiale – ce qui pourrait représenter jusqu'à 811 millions de personnes – était en situation de sous-alimentation en 2020.
