Detrás de los datos del hambre

Water is life, water is food. 
Leave no one behind. 
Water is essential to life on Earth. It covers the majority of the Earth's surface, makes up over 50% of our bodies, produces our food, and supports livelihoods.  

But this precious resource is not infinite and we need to stop taking it for granted. What we eat, and how that food is produced all affect water. 

Together, we can take water action for food and be the change.

World Food Day 2023 - Public Service Announcement

Water is essential to produce food so it is no surprise to hear that a current global shortage threatens to push more vulnerable people into hunger. A frightening prospect, when you consider that more than 700 million already have too little to eat today. 
Ahead of World Food Day, observed on 16 October, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has shared information about the latest technical innovations that countries can implement to produce the food that they need.
With more, here’s FAO’s Deputy Director-General, Maria Helena Semedo.

COP28 preview: How agrifood system solutions shape the climate change agenda

En la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático de este año, la agencia de la salud quiere que esta tenga una importante presencia. Una de sus responsables asegura que la misma contaminación que tiene efectos sobre el clima, los tiene sobre nuestros pulmones, y que los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos conducen a un rosario de enfermedades.

En la COP28, se negocia algo más que las emisiones de CO2, se negocia nuestra salud

La ONU considera el acuerdo entre Israel y Hamás “un paso en la dirección correcta", pero "se necesita hacer mucho más”. La Franja de Gaza es el lugar más peligroso del mundo para ser niño, dice la directora de UNICEF. Las primeras vacunas contra la malaria comienzan a distribuirse en África.

La FAO en Bref - 8 mars 2024

Des centaines de fonctionnaires techniques du monde entier se réunissent aujourd’hui au siège de la FAO, à Rome, pour discuter d’un problème majeur pour les experts dans le domaine de la sécurité alimentaire mondiale – la faim cachée. Selon l’Organisation, alors que 793 millions de personnes vont se coucher le ventre creux, on estime que 2 milliards souffrent de carences en vitamines et minéraux adéquats au quotidien. Ce Symposium technique d’une durée de 2 jours, organisé par la FAO et l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS), a pour objectif d’aider les experts à trouver de nouveaux moyens permettant de réaliser les Objectifs et les cibles de développement durable à l’horizon 2030 pour une meilleure nutrition dans leurs pays respectifs.

Charlotte Dufour, Spécialiste des politiques nutritionnelles au siège de la FAO, nous en dit plus sur le sujet. (Propos recueillis par Murielle Sarr)

The FAO of the UN leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people. FAO's activities comprise four main areas:

1. Putting information within reach.
2. Sharing policy expertise.
3. Providing a meeting place for nations.
4. Bringing knowledge to the field.
