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...
This background paper to The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023 discusses the dynamics and drivers of urbanization, the associated changes in agrifood systems and the corresponding risks and opportunities to ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for all. The paper is based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence from scientific papers and informed by new analyses conducted for the 2023 edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World. A conceptual framework is presented for understanding the different pathways through which urbanization is driving changes in agrifood systems across the rural–urban continuum, and is, in turn, affecting access to affordable healthy diets.
Neoliberal theory on higher education highlights the challenges faced by academics in the "new times" of academia. Quality-improvement programs and academic accountability mechanisms have been advocated, but the profession's precariousness and stress make early career researchers especially vulnerable. The highly competitive funding environment and increased non-research duties put academics' time and dedication at risk. Early career academics can enhance Sub-Saharan African educational research by contributing effectively to contextually relevant research, collaborating with regional colleagues, and pursuing international collaboration and financing. However, more research is needed to understand the experiences of the new generation of academics and their responses to new performativity criteria.

يقدم هذا التقرير معلومات محدثة عن التقدم العالمي المحرز نحو تحقيق مقصدي القضاء على الجوع (المقصد 2-1 من أهداف التنمية المستدامة) والقضاء على جميع أشكال سوء التغذية (المقصد 2-2 من أهداف التنمية المستدامة). ويُظهر أن الجوع على المستوى العالمي ظل مستقرًا نسبيًا لم بين عامي 2021 و2022، ولكنه لا يزال أعلى بكثير من مستويات ما قبل جائحة كوفيد-19، كما أنه يرتفع أيضًا في العديد من الأماكن حيث لا يزال ...
Ce rapport fait le point sur les progrès accomplis au niveau mondial en direction des objectifs d’éradication de la faim (cible 2.1 des ODD) et d’élimination de la malnutrition sous toutes ses formes (cible 2.2). Il montre que la faim est demeurée relativement stable au niveau mondial entre 2021 et 2022, mais qu’elle se maintient largement au-dessus du niveau enregistré avant la pandémie de covid-19, et même qu’elle augmente dans de nombreuses régions où les populations n’ont pas encore pu compenser les pertes de revenus occasionnées par la pandémie, ou ont été durement touchées par la flambée des prix des denrées alimentaires, des intrants agricoles et de l’éner...
В настоящем докладе представлена обновленная информация о прогрессе в решении задач по ликвидации голода и всех форм неполноценного питания (задачи 2.1 и 2.2 ЦУР). В нем показано, что в 2021–2022 годах масштабы голода в мире практически не менялись, но остаются гораздо более высокими, чем до пандемии COVID-19, а во многих регионах мира, где население до сих пор не восстановило утраченные пос...
本报告介绍全球在实现可持续发展目标关于消除饥饿(具体目标2.1)和消除一切形式营养不良(具体目标2.2)这两项具体目标方面的最新进展。本报告表明,2021至2022年间,全球饥饿状况保持相对稳定但仍远高于COVID-19疫情暴发前水平,同时很多地区饥饿形势愈演愈烈,人们仍在苦苦弥补疫情造成的收入损失,受到粮食、农业投入品和能源价格上涨、冲突和/或极端气候的深重影响。本报告还提供最新估计数据,介绍无法全年都有营养、安全、充足食物的亿万民众状况。总体而言,本报告表明,世界各国严重进展不足,难以如...
En esta publicación se presenta información actualizada acerca de los progresos mundiales hacia las metas relativas a la erradicación del hambre (meta 2.1 de los ODS) y la malnutrición en todas sus formas (meta 2.2 de los ODS). En el presente informe se muestra que el hambre a nivel mundial se mantuvo relativamente sin variaciones entre 2021 y 2022, pero sigue estando muy por encima de los niveles anteriores a la pandemia de la COVID-19 y también está aumentando en muchos lugares donde las personas todavía luchan por recuperar las pérdidas de ingresos sufridas a raíz de la pandemia o bien han resultado afectadas por el aumento de los precios de los alimentos, los insumos agrícolas ...
This background paper to The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023 presents an innovative analysis of within-country variability of the cost and affordability of a healthy diet (CoAHD). The study uses an innovative spatial perspective by analysing the changes along the urban–rural catchment areas (URCA) and using the Living Standards Measurement Studies (LSMS) of 11 African countries. The results show that the cost of a healthy diet in peri-urban areas is lower than it is in urban areas, but the percentage of the population unable to afford a healthy diet is always higher in the surroundings of urban centres. The gap is particularly large between small cities and their surrounding areas, and the share of population unable to secure a healthy diet is disproportionally high in the more remote rural areas. The paper also investigates three methodological issues that were encountered during the analysis to provide evidence on the validity of the FAO Healthy Diet Basket (HDB) methodology for the estimation of subnational cost and affordability of a healthy diet.
