New UN report on global food security and malnutrition -VNR

Tuesday 11 September 2018 at 11:00 CEST /Rome time, the new edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World will be launched by five UN agencies – The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the World Food Programme (WFP), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

The report gives an updated estimate of the number of hungry people in the world, including regional and national breakdowns, and the latest data on child stunting and wasting as well as on adult and child obesity.

It is an important yardstick in measuring progress towards the Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger.

The report also offers analysis of the drivers of hunger and malnutrition, and this year includes a special focus on the impact of climate variability and extremes.

New report will be available here: http://www.fao.org/publications/sofi/en/

Script STORYLINE:

Vietnam:

According to the global climate risk index, Viet Nam is one of the ten nations most vulnerable to climate change impacts, typhoons and other extreme weather events are increasing. Another impact is sea level rise, which is leading to saline intrusion, destroying rice fields and other crops. Tested water in Bến Tre Province has 20 times more salt content than that at which rice can survive.

Nepal:

Another country that has been heavily hit by climate variability and extremes is Nepal. Intense monsoon rains bring on flooding, erosion and landslides. Droughts are more frequent and cause widespread damage to crops. Farmers are the worst affected and FAO supports them with climate resilience programmes so that they can be able to adapt and to anticipate climate variability and extremes and make themselves food secure.

In Southern Nepal, FAO supports some 3,000 farmers through 120 farmer field schools, so that farmers can continue to live on and off their land.

In Arghakhanchi district, FAO supports 30 farmer field schools, benefitting over 800 women. The women meet regularly to learn new farming practices to combat climate change.

The Philippines:

In the Philippines, a country prone to typhoons, aerial drones are taking to the sky to map out at-risk areas of agricultural land to mitigate risk. This innovative practice is able to quickly assess damages when a disaster strikes, but also assess pest outbreaks. Fixed-wing drones can cover up to 200 hectares in 30 minutes, while a person can cover only 7 hectares per day. The still images are processed and stitched together to form one image. The drones capture both RBG and near-infrared images and these two images can generate the vegetation index, which shows the vegetation health of crops and pest infestation levels.

Quadcopters also support near real-time assessments, so experts can make even quicker decisions.

Niger:

In Niger, as in other parts of the Sahel, FAO, IFAD and WFP are jointly focusing on addressing poverty, underdevelopment, climate shocks and migration - factors that have all contributed to the region's critical humanitarian and security situation, one that affects women and girls in particular.

Yemen:

WFP provides food and, in some cases, vouchers. Vouchers for food are provided in urban areas and can be redeemed in shops, while food distributions take place mostly in rural areas. In addition, this year WFP began a school meals programme to provide nutritious, ready-to-eat food to 140,000 school children. With the start of the new school year in September 2018, WFP hopes to assist 600,000 students a month. WFP will also begin in August/September 2018 providing cash assistance in areas where markets are working well to allow up to 1 million people to have greater choice of fo

Dry Corridor:

WFP, with support from the international community, has provided food assistance to thousands of people in vulnerable communities of the Dry Corridor, to improve food security and strengthen resilience at family, community and institutional level. These activities included the conservation of soil and water, better agricultural practices and training to deal with natural disasters, as well as the strengthening of monitoring systems for food and nutrition security.

Brazil:

Prolonged droughts in the north of the state of Bahia, Brazil have been decimating crops and water scarcity is having a severe impact on the livelihoods of dozens of poor rural communities. Through Pró-Semiárido, a project supported by IFAD, rural communities are being given technical assistance to harvest and manage water resources efficiently. Farmers are reintroducing native drought-tolerant crops, which had been neglected in favour of more lucrative non-indigenous ones, and are also receiving help and training to process and commercialize products based on them. 70.000 families in the state of Bahia are benefiting from this project and are able to survive dry spells, earning a living from local crops and fruits that they thought worthless until not long ago.
