FactsheetEnhancing National Capacities to Support the Adoption, Production, and Use of Food Security and Nutrition Indicators - GCP/GLO/043/EC 2023
Also available in:
No results found.After a steady decline over the past few decades, world hunger has again been on the rise in the last two years. The increase in global hunger has now stalled, and in 2022, there were about 3.8 million fewer people suffering from hunger than in 2021. Nonetheless, the world is not on track to reach the global targets for food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture established by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Conflict, climate variability and extremes, economic downturns, and inequality are among the key factors causing this reversal. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 2.1 (by 2030 end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round) will not be achieved unless significant efforts are devoted to address the many factors behind the recently revealed sad truth that more than 2 billion people worldwide may be facing moderate or severe food insecurity. Against this background, policy-makers need better, more disaggregated, reliable and timely information to guide policies aimed at promoting food security. This European-Union funded project aimed to enhance national capacities to support the adoption, production, interpretation, and use of food security and nutrition indicators in countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific, the Near East, and Central Asia. -

Also available in:
No results found.The agriculture sector faces several challenges in Nepal, including low productivity, high instability, stress and shocks due to climate change, and lack of labour force, adequate infrastructure and investment Increased agricultural productivity can only be achieved through the transformation of the current agrifood system to a more productive, efficient, sustainable, inclusive, transparent and resilient production system, by improving the existing technological infrastructure, reducing the high costs of technology and low levels of e literacy and digital skills, and enhancing the regulatory framework and access to services Nepal is addressing these issues by enhancing digital capacity and digital services in the agriculture sector, encompassing technological solutions aimed at maximizing yield, and minimizing the use of agricultural inputs However, these digital interventions are guided by some specific objectives and are not well coordinated among concerned agencies and therefore it is not possible to deliver services in an efficient and sustainable manner In addition, there are considerable challenge to introducing and deploying information and communication technology ( technologies in rural communities and to ensure equitable access to ICT technologies for women and youth, marginal and isolated households, and communities.The digital village (DV) ecosystem is one of the options to accelerate digitalization in rural areas. A DV model is a digital ecosystem that provides digital-based solutions, services and innovations to meet the needs of rural and farming communities and their inhabitants, to improve their livelihoods, well-being and promote social stability.Against this background, the MoALD has prioritized digitalization in agricultural development, and requested that FAO provide technical support for the promotion of digital agriculture in Nepal. This project aimed to empower farmers, enhance agricultural productivity, and improve livelihoods by leveraging digital technologies. -
