FAO, IFAD and WFP have developed joint actions in the Latin American and Caribbean region with the common goal of eradicating hunger and malnutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture and rural development.

Le Canada s'est associé aux organismes des Nations Unies ayant leur siège à Rome - l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO), le Fonds international de développement agricole (FIDA) et le Programme alimentaire mondial (PAM) - pour tester sur le terrain leur Cadre conceptuel de collaboration pour renforcer la résilience au serivce de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition. 

"Chaînes de valeur et enjeu nutritionnel: Guide pour la conception de projets" a été conçu pour combler une lacune de connaissances dans ce domaine émergeant en proposant des orientations sur la conception de projets de chaînes de valeur intégrant l'enjeu nutritionnel, une attention particulière étant portée aux petits producteurs.

This paper addresses an important gap regarding the systematic knowledge and evidence on how value chains can contribute to nutrition, while remaining financially viable and inclusive of smallholder farmers. 

Publication phare, L’État de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition dans le monde est publiée annuellement par la FAO, le FIDA, l’OMS, le PAM et l’UNICEF. 

Understanding contemporary migration, both international and internal, remains a challenge. The decision by people to migrate either within their own countries or across borders is influenced by an intricate set of factors. This report examines the complex interlinkages between migration, agriculture, food security and rural development and the factors that determine the decision of rural people to migrate; including economic factors, employment opportunities, conflict, poverty, hunger, environmental degradation and climate shocks.

This paper aims to explore the influence of nutrition-sensitive interventions on dietary profiles of the beneficiaries of IFAD-funded projects.

With funding from the German government, IFAD recently carried out a set of studies in Nigeria and Indonesia to determine how to
design nutrition-sensitive value chain (NSVC) projects for smallholders. Such projects seek to shape thedevelopment of value chains for
nutritious commodities in ways that are likely to address nutrition problems.

In Indonesia’s eastern Maluku and North Maluku provinces, malnutrition levels are high. Nutrition challenges include monotonous diets with inadequate levels of energy, micronutrients and protein. Studies commissioned by IFAD suggest that strengthened value chains for foods such as bananas, cassava, maize, spinach, sweet potatoes and fish could make business sense for smallholders and lay the foundations for a strong local food system that sustainably delivers nutritious foods for healthy diets.
