High-profileFAO COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme 2020The COVID-19 pandemic is jeopardizing human health and disrupting the food systems that are the foundations of health. Unless we take immediate action, we could face a global food emergency of severity and scale unseen for more than half a century. FAO is calling for USD 1.2 billion in initial investments to finance FAO’s COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme that aims to provide an agile and coordinated global response to ensure nutritious food for all both during and after the pandemic. The COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme enables donors to leverage the Organization’s convening power, real-time data, early warning systems and technical expertise to direct support where and when it is needed most. It spans seven key priority areas: 1. Global Humanitarian Response Plan 2. Data for decision-making 3. Economic inclusion and social protection to reduce poverty 4. Trade and food safety standards 5. Boosting smallholder resilience for recovery 6. Preventing the next zoonotic pandemic 7. Food systems transformation This brochure presents the COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme and invites a broad range of partnerships, including both new and renewed partnerships with FAO Members, other governments, the private sector, civil society, academia and cooperatives.

BulletinEurope and Central Asia: Regional food market situation and policy bulletin in response to the COVID-19 pandemic 2020
Also available in:
Based on the FAO’s latest forecast, world cereal production in 2020 is set at 2 790 million tonnes, which would surpass the record high reached in 2019 by as much as 3 percent (81.3 million tonnes) and which would be 5 percent above the five-year average from 2015–2019. The forecast is based on near-average supply prospects in the new season, which, however, remain uncertain due to possible climatic shocks and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impact. In many parts of the world, local markets are bracing for the looming impacts of COVID-19 amid uncertainties related to demand, logistics and even access to food. Close monitoring of the market will be necessary for the next several months. -
