Preliminary projections based on the latest available global economic outlooks, also presented in this report, suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic may add an additional 83 to 132 million people to the ranks of the undernourished in 2020. Section 2.3 was prepared by Yvonne Forsen (WFP) with Mark Smulders (FAO), with input from Giovanni Carrasco Azzini, Valentina Conti, Christian Derlagen, Emiliano Magrini and Valentina Pernechele (FAO); Caterina Ruggeri Laderchi and Tisorn Songsermsawas (IFAD); Saskia de Pee, Simone Gie, Nora Hobbs and Jeandamour Nkundimana (WFP); and Elaine Borghi, Karen McColl and Marzella Wstefeld (WHO). & Branca, F. 2020. 157 IFPRI. apps.who.int/gho/data/node.imr.PREVANEMIA?lang=enWHO. In addition to low productivity, insufficient diversification towards the production of horticultural products, legumes, small-scale fisheries, aquaculture, livestock and other nutritious food products also limits the supply of diverse and nutritious foods in markets, resulting in higher food prices. Fill the Nutrient Gap. First, by focusing on the earlier (production) stages of the food supply chain, as this tends to boost supplies and hence reduce food prices at the farm gate. This part of the report focuses on cost and affordability, but, as shall be seen in Section 2.4, the effectiveness of policies to reduce the cost of nutritious food and increase the affordability of healthy diets will also depend on measures shaping of the food environment and other policies that help shift consumer preferences towards healthy diets. Seasonality in food prices and the cost of a nutritious diet in Tanzania. 100 Smith, J. CV|r is an estimate of the coefficient of variation (i.e. The peer reviewers also confirmed that our results were aligned with the findings of their own analyses based on different econometric modelling exercises. The vegan diet: the protein is derived from pulses and soy that are scaled as necessary to achieve the protein target. The health impacts associated with poor quality diets are significant. All subregions show increasing trends in the prevalence of adult obesity between 2012 and 2016. Eastern Africa: Burundi, Comoros, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Rwanda, Seychelles, Somalia, South Sudan, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Journal of Sustainable Development, 9(1): 286. Linking refugee camp traders to local neighbouring farms can bring new business opportunities for farmers into these camps, while ensuring fresh produce is accessible and affordable for refugees. The global availability of pulses, seeds and nuts increased 24 percent from 2000 to 2017, with the largest increases in low- and lower-middle-income countries (Figure 18). 311 Araar, A. 198 Tefft, J., Jonasova, M., Adjao, R. & Morgan, A. American Journal of Epidemiology, 180(2): 172188. Based on this analysis, it is estimated that more than 3 billion people in the world could not afford a healthy diet in 2017. Follow-up to the Political Declaration of the High-level Meeting of the General Assembly on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases. Rome, FAO. Its also a good source of several nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and iodine (3, 4, 5). I feel I am more focused and less anxious. Bangkok, FAO. Non-tariff trade measures can help improve food safety, quality standards and the nutritional value of food, but they can also drive up the costs of trade and hence food prices, negatively affecting affordability of healthy diets. (also available at www.thenational.ae/uae/health/saudi-arabia-brings-in-mandatory-calorie-labels-on-menus-1.808556). 2012. The flexitarian diet (FLX) includes at least 500 g/day of fruits and vegetables of different colors and groups (the composition of which is determined by regional preferences). [Cited 28 April 2020]. 182 FAO. The diet-related social cost of GHG emissions related to current food consumption patterns is estimated to be around USD 1.7 trillion in 2030 for an emissions-stabilization scenario (i.e. The analysis shows that for every USD 1 spent on food, health and climate change externalities create an additional cost of USD 0.5. WebIt can reduce pain and inflammation. Furthermore, dietary shifts to healthy diets can play an important role in increasing the environmental sustainability of food systems. medical and healthcare costs) and indirect (costs of informal care and lost working days) costs associated with a specific disease.1, For estimating the climate-change costs of diets, the GHG emissions associated with food consumption were calculated and then paired with cost estimates of climate damages. Furthermore, it should be noted that weight-related factors in Table A8.1 show the same values across four alternative healthy diet patterns, indicating that all these diets are based on optimal energy intake and, therefore, there are no risks associated with imbalanced weight. (also available at www.who.int/who-documents-detail/healthy-diet-factsheet394). Melanesia: With respect to the M49 classification, anaemia, child wasting, stunting and overweight, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding estimates exclude New Caledonia. Wastage includes loss of usable products occurring along distribution chains from farm gate (or port of import) up to retail level. Not all healthy diets include aspects of sustainability because there is no unique healthy diet. nationaleczema.org/eczema/types-of-eczema/, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0033946/, health.gov/dietaryguidelines/dga2010/dietaryguidelines2010.pdf, allergy.org.au/patients/skin-allergy/eczema, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3970830/, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3237513/, mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-fish-oil/art-20364810, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3667300/, ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0072582/, I Almost Died from Eczema: How a Nondairy Diet Saved Me, Debra Rose Wilson, Ph.D., MSN, R.N., IBCLC, AHN-BC, CHT, 8 Natural Remedies to Reduce Eczema Symptoms, Dominique Fontaine, BSN, RN, HNB-BC, HWNC-BC. Estimates are presented as daily average per capita edible quantities. Section 1.1 presents the latest available evidence on progress towards achieving the hunger and food insecurity targets (SDG 2.1). For example, it would cost a person living in a low-income country around 6 times more to move from an energy sufficient to a healthy diet. 255 de la Pea, I., Garrett, J. In general, policies depressing farm gate prices are usually export barriers, as well as price interventions to protect consumers. (also available at https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/255414/WHO-NMH-NHD-17.2-eng.pdf?ua=1). Using sophisticated statistical techniques based on the Rasch measurement model, the information obtained in a survey is validated for internal consistency and converted into a quantitative measure along a scale of severity, ranging from low to high. Middle-income countries, which represent 69 percent of the world population in 2030, have the most to gain in terms of reduced mortality by switching to any of the four alternative diet scenarios. A nutrient adequate diet and a healthy diet are unaffordable for those living below the poverty line. http://en.cnsoc.org/dGuideline/611921203.html. The Fight Against Hunger and Malnutrition: The Role of Food, Agriculture, and Targeted Policies, pp. Food fortification. These are then locally adapted to each country, whereby the specific country preferences, in terms of eating patterns, are captured by identifying local food items at retail prices in each country. The remaining years of the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition 20162025 present an opportunity for policymakers, civil society and the private sector to work together and accelerate efforts. The CV|y is projected starting from 2015 or from the date of the last available food consumption survey (if this is posterior to 2015), using information derived from the estimates of the prevalence of severe food insecurity based on the FIES (FIsev). & Key, T.J. 2014. Policy brief: a disability-inclusive response to COVID-19. There is a notable bias among the unweighted, with those born to poorer, less-educated, rural mothers being less likely to have a recorded birthweight when compared to their richer, urban counterparts with more highly educated mothers.10 As the characteristics of the unweighted are risk factors for having a low birthweight, estimates that do not well represent these children may be lower than the true value. In: National Cancer Institute [online]. 330 WHO. However, given that the devastation that COVID-19 will cause is still largely unknown, it is important to recognize that any assessment at this stage is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and should be interpreted with caution. SUA data were used to depict trends in availability of selected food groups (cereals; fruits; vegetables; roots, tubers and plantains; pulses, seeds and nuts; eggs; fish and shellfish; dairy products; fats and oils; and sugars and sweeteners) and subgroups (red meat, processed meat and poultry) at global level, by region and by country income classification for the years 20002017. Current global methods of food production also result in negative environmental impacts,72 with repercussion for society as a whole. 2018. The final models were then used to project the trend of malnutrition in children from 1990 to 2019. De Benoist, O. Dary & R. Hurrell, eds. Countries with a protracted crisis situations present specific challenges related to the cost and affordability of healthy diets.59 Almost all these countries have experienced some form of violent conflict over prolonged periods. Marco V. Snchez Cantillo provided editorial support and technical input to Part 2. With this report, all five agencies are sending a strong message: A key reason why millions of people around the world suffer from hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition is because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. Cereals, tubers and legumes 250400 g. These are based on an average adult who requires daily energy intake of 1 4002 600 kcal.20 On the assumption that the lower limit given for a food group is applicable for 1 400 kcal and the upper limit for 2 600 kcal, the average was used, which would correspond to 2 000 kcal. Policy measures directed at the consumer to encourage healthy diets that include sustainability considerations, include at the individual level, dietary changes towards predominantly plant-forward diets73 with limited amounts of animal source foods, while the amount of dietary energy derived from starchy staple foods is also capped (e.g. Except for milk, tariff protection for most other products will end in 2021 (15 years after the agreements entry into force). If you eat too much mercury, it can be harmful to your unborn baby. [Cited 29 April 2020]. [Cited 15 April 2020]. One of these guiding principles is that a healthy diet can contain animal source foods in moderate to small amounts. Asia, while making progress, will also not achieve the 2030 target based on recent trends. The prevalence of wasting is notably above the 2025 and 2030 targets. A nutrient adequate diet is overall affordable in sub-Saharan Africa (91 percent). 39 Drewnowski, A. 141 International Labour Organization (ILO). At the time of going to press (June 2020), the COVID-19 pandemic was spreading across the globe, clearly posing a serious threat to food security. 2020. International Comparison Program (ICP). Chapter 68. However, consuming it raw poses a health risk, as it may contain harmful bacteria and viruses. Building climate resilience for food security and nutrition. (also available at www.unicef.org/reports/state-of-worlds-children-2019). Besides tariff barriers, governments also implement non-tariff measures, such as sanitary and phyto-sanitary measures (SPS) and technical barriers to trade (TBT). Part 1: Definitions. The mean cost was lowest in Northern America and Europe (USD 0.54) and Oceania (USD 0.55), which was around 30 percent lower than the global average cost. Geneva, Switzerland. 2015. Rural roads and intermediated trade: regression discontinuity evidence from Sierra Leone. The future of work in African agriculture: trends and drivers of change. The analysis presented below expands on previous studies by considering cross-country comparable measures of food insecurity that are calibrated against the global FIES scale. Data source: WHO. While production and processing advances have made food more convenient, widely available and affordable for large portions of the world,146 these same food systems are a dominant driver of the increased availability of energy-dense foods of minimal nutritional value that are high in fats, sugars and/or salt. childhood overweight and adult obesity trends need to be reversed, The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on malnutrition, Most regions are making some progress, but not enough to achieve global targets; no subregion is on track for the low birthweight target, and adult obesity is worsening in all subregions, Most regions are not on track to achieve the targets for child overweight, and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions, Sub-Saharan Africa is the only subregion with a rising number of stunted children, Globally, 21.3 percent of children under 5 are stunted, and 7 subregions out of 17 have high or very high stunting prevalences in 2019, The prevalence of stunting is higher in rural areas and in poorest households, In Latin America and the Caribbean, stunting prevalence of children living in the poorest households is about three times higher compared to those living in the richest households, Different ways of applying the principles for healthy diets: examples from three countries, How do current consumption patterns compare with national food-based dietary guidelines recommendations? If you eat fish caught by family or friends, check for fish advisories. 191 World Bank. Section 1.2 was prepared by Elaine Borghi with Elisa Dominguez (WHO), Chika Hayashi, Julia Krasevec, Richard Kumapley, Roland Kupka and Vrinda Mehra (UNICEF), with inputs from Katrina Lundberg, Lisa Rogers, Zita Weise Prinzo and Marzella Wstefeld (WHO). 2020. Cost of a healthy diet: Given that the exact make-up of a healthy diet varies by local context, countries have developed national food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) to reflect their specific cultural context, locally available foods and dietary customs. 159 FAO. It is estimated that based on estimated income distributions more than 3 billion people in the world could not afford a healthy diet in 2017. Essential nutrition actions: mainstreaming nutrition through the life-course. Access to food is generally determined by physical access (e.g. This shows that for the four diet scenarios, the majority of avoidable deaths (on average 68 percent) are due to imbalances in dietary composition. Australian dietary guidelines. Current estimates are that nearly 690 million people are hungry, or 8.9 percent of the world population up by 10 million people in one year and by nearly 60 million in five years. Mostly due to deterioration in recent years, its PoU is expected to increase from 7.4 percent in 2019 to 9.5 in 2030. This is particularly important for the reduction of losses in perishable commodities, such as fruits and vegetables, dairy, fish and meat. For some countries, a shift may imply trade-offs, and the downsides may last for some time. Conversely, in upper-middle-income countries and high-income countries, where diet patterns exceed optimal energy requirements and people consume more animal source foods than required, major changes in dietary practices and system-wide changes in food production patterns will be needed to reduce their environmental impact. Although both price and income elasticities are systematically higher for some products (e.g. 2018. The purpose of calculating this diet is to identify the cost and affordability of acquiring all nutrients in the required proportions, so as to identify the ability of each countrys food system to deliver nutrient adequate diets at all times and places. Guideline: fortification of rice with vitamins and minerals as a public health startegy. 131 Menteri Kesehatan Republik Indonesia. Limiting the impacts of diets on the environment in this way may help create a virtuous circle, or a recurring cycle of events, each having a beneficial effect on the next, as all the enhancements contribute to reducing the environmental cost of producing nutritious food. Optimal duration of exclusive breastfeeding. How can the EU climate targets be met? 102118). European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 71(1): 149150. 56 Robinson, S., Mason-DCroz, D., Islam, S., Sulser, T.B., Robertson, R., Zhu, T., Gueneau, A., Pitois, G. & Rosengrant, M. 2015. Nutrition security differs from food security in that it also considers the aspects of adequate caregiving practices, health and hygiene, in addition to dietary adequacy. 2017. They attested to the increased consistency of our revised results with existing evidence on nutrition in China, as well as with a set of economic development indicators in the country, including extreme poverty, prevalence of stunting, food expenditure distribution and shared prosperity. 187 UNDESA. (also available at www.ifad.org/documents/38714170/41096781/NP_HVAP_IA+report.pdf/ddef40a6-c0c9-6778-1434-96156b9104c5). Adoption of any of the four alternative healthy diet patternsae worldwide would reduce projected diet-related GHG emission by 4174 percent (Figure 35). Revista de Saude Publica, 47(5): 10061010. The importance of reduced meat and dairy consumption for meeting stringent climate change targets. Bristol, UK. (also available at https://documents.wfp.org/stellent/groups/public/documents/communications/wfp291993.pdf). Washington, DC. Moreover, a significant proportion of the population in these contexts are acutely vulnerable to hunger, malnutrition, disease and disruptions to livelihoods over prolonged periods. Prices are obtained from the World Banks International Comparison Program (ICP) for internationally standardized items, converted to international dollars using purchasing power parity (PPP). The prevalence of wasting is notably above the 2025 and 2030 targets. as Empirical evidence and analysis emanating from a number of country studies for Latin America and the Caribbean352 and for Africa, Asia and the Middle East353 recognizes the importance of considering decreasing marginal returns in the effectiveness of social spending over time. Transport costs are a bottleneck to increasing the affordability of healthy diets in many countries, particularly in the lower income brackets. These ranges are obtained by costing recommended food quantities published across ten FBDGs (blue bars), as well as across four EAT-Lancet reference diets (green bars) (flexitarian, pescatarian, vegetarian and vegan). Do safety net transfers improve diets and reduce undernutrition? Breastfeeding and maternal diet in atopic dermatitis. The price and income elasticities of demand for staple foods are known to be very small and not significantly different from zero at least in the short term.27 Even large swings in prices or incomes are not associated with significant changes in total calories of staple foods consumed. This will potentially have an effect on the projections presented in this report. Global Food Security, 3(1): 5966. Projections were also carried out for year 2050 for sensitivity analysis. 38 International Food Information Council. & Masters, W.A. Washington, DC, IFPRI. A study covering ten cities in nine countries found that adolescents ate half of the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables and less than two-thirds of the recommended amount of milk (and dairy products), but consumed much more meat (and meat products), fats and foods and drinks containing high amounts of sugars than recommended. Policy actions and investments that specifically help increase the affordability of healthy diets as well as healthy diets that also include sustainability considerations within a food systems context and across the food value chains are discussed below. PLoS ONE, 8(5): e62228. [Cited 26 May 2020]. Development of a diet quality questionnaire for improved measurement of dietary diversity and other diet quality indicators. Anlisis de polticas agropecuarias en Honduras. These programmes targeted to low-income households are more effective when coupled with additional interventions or conditions such as attending health and nutrition services and good sanitation practices. Least Developed Countries, Land Locked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States groupings include the countries as presented by the Statistics Division of the United Nations (https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49). 2016. It can also result in leathery skin patches appearing over time. The prevalence of stunting is higher in rural populations than in urban ones. Specifically, the list of countries with a protracted crisis situation includes those that meet the following three criteria: The country is among the low-income food-deficit countries (LIFDCs), as defined by FAO in 2018. Public Health Nutrition, 22(1): 175179. Therefore, it represents the effect of trade policy and domestic price support. Bangkok. Economic slowdowns and downturns, particularly since the financial crisis of 20082009, have had significant impacts on hunger through various channels.1 Despite significant progress in many of the worlds poorest countries, and extreme poverty rate declining in the last two decades from more than 50 percent to about 30 percent, almost 10 percent of the world population still lives on USD 1.90 per day or less, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia.2 Debt has increased significantly in many poor economies during the last decade, with total debt reaching almost 170 percent of GDP in 2018,3 thus contributing to rising global risks and weakening growth prospects in many emerging and developing economies. 2020. Meeting the 2015 international hunger targets: taking stock of uneven progress. Ending inappropriate promotion of foods for infants and young children. Healthline Media does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. In comparison, the least-cost energy sufficient diet is affordable (still using the USD 1.20 threshold) for the poor around the world, except in Bolivia (Plurinational State of) (USD 1.42), British Virgin Islands (USD 1.56), Dominica (USD 1.22), Ecuador (USD 1.31), El Salvador (USD 1.46), Grenada (USD 1.33), Japan (USD 3.03), Nicaragua (USD 1.44), Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (USD 1.32), Sint Maarten (USD 1.72), South Africa (USD 1.26), Taiwan (USD 1.46) and Togo (USD 1.94). The findings show that while the cost of a healthy diet in these contexts is comparable to the global average, the proportion of the population who cannot afford a healthy diet is significantly higher. Households already spend 5060 percent of their expenditure on food and are therefore unable to absorb much of a change in food prices. Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Near East and North Africa 2017. The assessment examines progress made since the baseline (2012) and projected trajectories towards 2025 and 2030 targets (more details are presented in Annex 2), looking at subregional, regional and global levels. 2003. 2006. A b-spline regression model was used to predict the standard error and calculate 95 percent confidence intervals for the country-level low birthweight estimates. 63 WFP. Eastern Africa: With respect to the M49 classification, it excludes British Indian Ocean Territory, French Southern and Antarctic Territories, Mayotte and Runion. A weighted analysis was carried out to account for the different country populations and ensure that the influence in the regional trend analysis of a countrys survey estimate was proportional to the countrys population. Managing risk is an important aspect of food production in all food and agriculture sectors, one that greatly influences what a producer decides to grow, raise or capture. These within-country variations in cost are not captured in the above global and regional analysis. This important nuance is not well understood and is often missing from ongoing discussions and debates on the potential contribution of healthy diets to environmental sustainability. For the healthy diet, a rank order optimization is used. Global estimates are derived by summing the estimated number of live births weighing less than 2 500 g for 195au countries with an estimate in the United Nations regional grouping for each year, and then dividing by all live births in each year in those 195 countries. the Dice 2016 T2.5 scenario) that keeps global temperature limited to a 2.5-degree increase (averaged over 100 years). For further details, including on the methodology for projections to 2030, see the methodological note in Annexes 1B and 2.
