World food and agriculture statistical pocketbook 2019

Food and Agriculture Organization

The implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda is just at the outset. Pursuing the broad and ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) calls for timely and effective policy actions in a quickly evolving world. In this context, the ability to design sound policies and monitor their outcomes is a key requirement, and measuring progress towards international goals and their national and subnational specifications is of paramount importance. This pocketbook presents, at a glance, selected key indicators on agriculture and food security, and is meant to serve as an quick and easy-to-access reference for stakeholders and partners involved in policy formulation or decision-making processes. The indicators are presented in two sections, one thematic and one country-specific, and are organized along four main themes: (i) Setting: describing the main trends in the use of agricultural resources; (ii) Hunger: providing estimates of the two indicators for SDG2 (ending hunger): the prevalence of undernourishment and the prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity; (iii) Food supply: offering information on the nature and quantity of world agricultural production trade; (iv) Environment: examining the interactions of agriculture with the ecosystem in the evolving context of climate change.
