Our Origins and Mission With this publication FAO was founded in 1945 at a time when the 70th world was emerging from World War II. It we mark the was the first specialized agency of the newly anniversary established United Nations with a mandate to of the founding cover all aspects of food and agriculture and to of FAO as the achieve a world without poverty and hunger. In 1943, during the United Nations United Nations agency Conference on Food and Agriculture, 44 for food and agriculture. governments shared their vision to use agriculture, the proven engine of poverty reduction, to contribute to improving living standards, especially for the rural poor, in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable way. All of FAO’s work and efforts are built on its five strategic objectives; help eliminate hunger, make agriculture, forestry and fisheries FAO more productive and sustainable, reduce th rural poverty, enable inclusive and efficient agricultural systems, and increase resilience of 70 livelihoods to threats and crises. In 2015 we celebrate 70 years of unique history anniversary and achievements. The 70th Anniversary also offers an opportunity to reflect on the past and envision ways in which the Organization can make a difference in the future, drawing on expertise built over more than half a century. 4 5 1 Operations, with a global reach that FAO IN SEVEN DECADES been delivered.

70 YEARS 98 FAO With the drawing to a close of the Millennium Development Goals, implementation of a new set of Sustainable Development Goals, and considering the background against which these commitments are being made, we highlight several key global issues that have wide implications for food, agriculture and sustainable natural resource use. These include different aspects of climate change, hunger and nutrition - in a world where some 800 million still go to bed hungry; together with some information materials related to soils, in this 2015 International Year of Soils.

Key Global ISSUEs Hunger and There is sufficient food produced nutrition in the world to feed everyone adequately yet, in spite of progress made over the last two decades, around 800 million people still suffer from chronic hunger. FAO publications and other information materials seek to highlight key aspects of the Organization’s work to end hunger and malnutrition and to improve diets. “Better is good, but when it comes Climate change Global warming will have to hunger, better is profound consequences on where not good enough. and how food is produced. A There are selection of FAO publications 800 million produced in 2015 analyses reasons why” different aspects of climate José Graziano da Silva change; its impact on agriculture FAO Director General and its effects on food security, livelihoods and the sustainabilty of natural resources.

International During 2015, the United Nations Year of Soils celebrates the International Year of Soils. Healthy soils are the basis for healthy food production. Soils are the foundation for vegetation. They also play a main role in supporting biodiversity, combating and adapting to climate change and storing and filtering water. They are a non- renewable resource, and a key to food security. A variety of FAO publications provide information on the status and aspects of soils in different environments. 9 10 key global issues Hunger and nutrition Humanit affected bythreats andcrises. and foodsecurityincountries challenges currently facingagriculture Humanitarian Appealtoaddress the United Nationsandpartners’2015 USD 70million)undertheglobal to FAO’s fundingrequirements (over the attentionofresource partners and crises.Thispublicationcalls their resilience inthefaceofthreats dimension of FAO’s efforts to enhance malnutrition istherefore acritical vulnerability, foodinsecurityand the immediatecausesoftheir insecure ruralpoor.

Global trade in agricultural products is expected to continue to rise over the coming decades and trade will The critical role of investments in social play an increasingly important role in influencing the protection and agriculture extent and nature of food security across all regions of the globe. The report seeks to contribute to the debate on policy choices relating to trade and how best to meet the This paper provides estimates of investment costs, both challenge of ensuring that the expansion of agricultural public and private, required to eliminate chronic dietary trade works for, and not against, the elimination of hunger, energy deficits, or to achieve zero hunger by 2030. This food insecurity and malnutrition. target is consistent with achieving both Sustainable Development Goal 2, to eliminate hunger by 2030, and Sustainable Development Goal 1, to eradicate poverty. Hunger is eliminated through a combination of social protection and targeted “pro-poor” rural investments. 17 FAO estimates there will be a need to increase global food supply by 60 percent to feed more than nine billion people in 2050. Food production has increased significantly in recent decades. Food availability per capita has increased by 40 percent since 1945, and the Green Revolution has been instrumental in raising agricultural production and productivity. But input intensive farming has also contributed to soil degradation, water pollution and loss of biodiversity. Climate change adds to the pressure and introduces more uncertainty for food production. Agriculture has to adapt to climate change. And agriculture also has to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This way, agriculture changes from being part of the problem and a victim of climate change, to being part of the solution.

27 AGRICULTURE Food value chain If we adopt a “business as usual” approach, by 2030, we would still have more than 650 million people suffering from hunger. This is why we are championing an approach that combines social protection with additional targeted investments in rural development, agriculture and urban areas that will chiefly benefit the poor. Our report (Achieving Zero Hunger) estimates that this will require a total investment of some US$267 billion per year over the next 15 years. Given that this is more or less equivalent to 0.3 percent of the global GDP, I personally think it is a relatively small price to pay to end hunger.

35 economic and social development Trade and commerce About 10 percent of the world population depends on fisheries for their livelihoods, and 4.3 billion people depend on fish for 15 percent of their animal protein intake. For many developing countries, fish is the most traded food product … Illegal unreported and unregulated fishing, IUU, has not only a very negative effect on the status of fish stocks and on the environment but also a very high monetary cost: US$20 billion. The worldwide implementation of the 2009 FAO Port State Measures Agreement in conjunction with the use of monitoring, control and surveillance tools and catch documentation schemes and the development of the Global Record of Fishing Vessels, is believed to be one of the most cost-effective and efficient means of combating IUU fishing.

Without forests and trees, coastal areas, mountain landscapes and drylands are more susceptible to natural and climate-induced disasters. Because of all this, they are essential for food security, now or in the future, and must be part of any land use planning. Forests are also critical to the earth’s carbon balance, and hold about three-quarters as much carbon as is in the whole atmosphere.

We are highlighting them and ensuring they are recognized by celebrating World Soil Day and the International Year of Soils. The launch of the Global Soil Partnership in late 2012 is also part of this effort. It is improving coordination among different existing initiatives and triggering action at various levels.”

53 natural resources Ridding the world of hunger will require a combination of social protection measures and investments in the agriculture sector aimed at increasing productivity in a sustainable way while improving poor people’s incomes and livelihoods. Strategies to eradicate poverty, end hunger and improve nutrition in a sustainable manner require cooperation between public and private sectors […] Public and private sector investments need not only to increase. They also need to be better coordinated. That means they need to focus on sectors that effectively reduce hunger and poverty. These include facilitating co-operation between companies, governments and civil- society organizations to achieve investments that benefit local communities, investors and the host countries.
