Estimating global and country-level employment in agrifood systems
Global and national policy discourse and agendas are moving beyond traditional silos of agriculture, nutrition, health, and climate change to address the challenges facing agrifood systems (AFS). In this paper, we use international labour force statistics to provide the first systematic and documented global estimate quantifying the total number of people employed in AFS. We estimate that 1.23 billion people are employed in AFS and that 3.83 billion people worldwide live in households linked to AFS-based livelihoods. However, international labour force statistics focus on the main labour activity in the last seven days and are likely to undercount the total number of people who are engaged in AFS. Using household survey data from the harmonized multi-country Rural Livelihoods Information System (RuLIS) database, we find that the number of people engaged in AFS is on average 24 percent higher than employment defined only by the main labour activity. This analysis shows the relevance of counting secondary jobs and household farming activities to identify all individuals whose livelihoods depend to some degree on AFS.
The status of women in agrifood systems
The status of women in agrifood systems report uses extensive new data and analyses to provide a comprehensive picture of women’s participation, benefits, and challenges they face working in agrifood systems globally. The report shows how increasing women’s empowerment and gender equality in agrifood systems enhances women’s well-being and the well-being of their households, creating opportunities for economic growth, greater incomes, productivity and resilience. The report comes more than a decade after the publication of the State of food and agriculture (SOFA) 2010–11: Women in agriculture – Closing the gender gap for development. SOFA 2010–11 documented the tremendous costs o...
Hidden costs of agrifood systems and recent trends from 2016 to 2023
This background paper to The State of Food and Agriculture 2023 examines the annual hidden costs of agrifood systems across 2016–2023 for 154 countries. Hidden costs include environmental hidden costs from greenhouse gas emissions, nitrogen emissions, land-use transitions, and blue water withdrawals; social hidden costs associated with undernourishment and poverty; and health hidden costs from unhealthy dietary patterns. The expected value of hidden costs is around 13 trillion 2020 purchasing power parity (PPP) dollars. This is equivalent to approximately 10 percent of global gross domestic product (GDP) PPP in 2023 and around 35 billion 2020 PPP dollars per day. Environmental hidden costs...
The State of Food and Agriculture 2023
Agrifood systems generate significant benefits to society, including the food that nourishes us and jobs and livelihoods for over a billion people. However, their negative impacts due to unsustainable business-as-usual activities and practices are contributing to climate change, natural resource degradation and the unaffordability of healthy diets. Addressing these negative impacts is challenging, because people, businesses, governments and other stakeholders lack a complete picture of how their activities affect economic, social and environmental sustainability when they make decisions on a day-to-day basis. The State of Food and Agriculture 2023 looks into the true cost of food for sustain...
The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such me...
African food systems transformation and the post-Malabo agenda
This year marks 20 years of implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), which was broadened under the 2014 Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Agricultural Growth and Transformation for Shared Prosperity and Improved Livelihoods. The 2023 Annual Trends and Outlook Report generates evidence on the implementation of the CAADP/Malabo agenda and thus contributes to the design of the post-Malabo phase of CAADP implementation. The report assesses the current state of Africa's food systems, explores strategic issues related to food systems transformation, and reflects on necessary methodologies and approaches to provide a better understanding of key challenges and necessary actions to accelerate transformation.
女性在农业粮食体系中的状况
本报告不仅详细概述了在农业部门工作的妇女的状况，而且更广泛地概述了在农业粮食体系所有部门工作的妇女的状况。报告显示，在农业粮食体系中，为妇女，尤其是农村妇女创造就业机会，可改善她们的福祉，并为经济增长、提高收入和生产力以及增强复原力创造有利条件。 该报告是在《2010–11年粮食及农业状况》出版十多年后发布的。《2010–11年粮食及农业状况：农业中的女性 — 填性别鸿沟，促农业发展》呼吁消除在获得农业产品、投入和服务方面的性别差距，并分析了性别不平等不仅给妇女和农业部门，而且给更...
Why are women more food insecure than men? Exploring socioeconomic drivers and the role of COVID-19 in widening the global gender gap
Women face a higher prevalence of food insecurity than do men, both on a global scale and across all regions. This paper delves into the global determinants contributing to the gender gap in food insecurity and explores how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced its trajectory. Additionally, it estimates the impact of improvements in food security and incomes possible if gender gaps on farm productivity and wages were closed. Utilizing data from the Food Insecurity Experience Scale gathered from over 700 000 individuals across 121 countries, this study reveals that individuals aged 25–34 years, irrespective of their gender, and women residing in rural areas have been disproportionately affected ...
