This report is an outcome of the Urban Food System Assessments for Nutrition (UFSAN) project of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The objectives of the UFSAN project were to: develop and pilot a holistic tool to assess nutrition and food systems in urban areas, with the aim to guide policies, programmes and investments towards a range of potential food system actions that promote better nutrition and healthy diets; pilot the tool in four cities: Ahmedabad and Pune, in India, and Pokhara and Kathmandu, in Nepal; and disseminate the findings of the UFSAN tool among nutrition and food systems stakeholders in these cities.

This is the fifth edition of the Asia and the Pacific Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition annual report. This publication is led by FAO’s Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP) and jointly contributed to by United Nations' partner agencies (UNICEF, WFP, WHO), on the region’s progress (or lack thereof) to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (in particular SDG 2 – Ending Hunger) and the World Health Assembly (WHA) 2030 targets on food security and nutrition.

Human Development in an Unequal World deals with the twenty-first-century challenges of unstable economic growth and sustainability and the re-emergence of deprivations and inequalities in multiple realms. It argues that the broader perspective of human development is most suited in reorienting development towards a more equitable, sustainable, and empowering world. The authors discuss the concept and philosophy of the capabilities and human development approach, its measurement, the links between economic growth and human development, and the role of social sector policy, gender equality, and securing sustainability. In doing so, they analyse frameworks, processes, institutions, and actors, and weave together concepts, methods, and evidence from numerous developing countries. The chapters offer an integrated understanding of the importance of capabilities, freedoms, and human flourishing in the process of development. This volume calls for an approach that focuses on the humanness of development and brings people back to the centre stage—a phenomenon that has receded to the background in the neoliberal era.
