In this sixth annual report, leading researchers, policy makers, and practitioners review what hap- pened in food policy, and why, in 2016 and look forward to 2017. This year’s report has a special focus on the challenges and opportunities created by rapid urbanization, especially in low- and middle-income countries, for food security and nutrition. In 2016, the world embarked on implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with the goal of eliminating extreme poverty and hunger. The Paris Agreement on Climate Change also entered into force. Other major international developments included UN endorsement of the Framework for Action that emerged from the Second International Conference on Nutrition, the launch of the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016–2025), and the New Urban Agenda adopted at the Habitat III summit in Quito, Ecuador. Also of note were the G7’s commitment to prioritizing nutrition, the G20’s emphasis on agricultural innovation for sustainable development, and the record replenishment for the International Development Association (IDA). Progress in many places on reducing poverty and malnutrition has been notable, with extreme poverty at the lowest level ever. Hunger rates have fallen substantially in recent years, even dramatically in some coun- tries, accompanied by falling levels of child stunting and other indicators of malnutrition. Agricultural produc- tion was up in 2016, and as a result, food prices were down, with benefits for consumers. Political and economic uncertainties also marked the year. Continuing conflicts and record numbers of refugees in the Middle East increased the need for humanitarian aid. El Niño and other environmental shocks reduced harvests in Latin America, parts of Asia, and eastern and southern Africa, increasing food insecurity. Political events in 2016, including the British vote to leave the European Union and the US elections, along with continuing economic stagnation and recession in major economies leave the prospects for 2017 more uncertain than in previous years. In 2017, the world must move forward with its commitments on the Sustainable Development Goals. Working to improve food systems and strengthening the ties between rural and urban areas offer great prom- ise for meeting those goals and ending hunger and malnutrition. Topics covered in the 2017 Global Food Policy Report were the result of consultations with experts in the field. For inclusion in this report, a topic must represent a new development in food policy or a new way of looking at an important food issue; the topic has to be international in scope; and assessments and rec- ommendations must be backed by evidence based on high-quality research results or expert judgment. Supplemented by data tables and visualizations illustrating trends in key food policy indicators at the country level, the report paints a full picture of food policy. I hope this report is met with interest not only by policy makers who shape the food policy agenda, but also by business, civil society, and media, who all have a stake in food policies that benefit the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people.

    4-H FOOD PRESERVATION Kathleen Riggs | Daniel Forbes | Stacey Macarthur Utah State University Extension

    4-H FOOD PRESERVATION Kathleen Riggs | Daniel Forbes | Stacey MacArthur Utah State University Extension Description The Discover 4-H Clubs series guides new 4-H volunteer leaders through the process of starting a 4-H club or provides a guideline for seasoned volunteer leaders to try a new project area. Each guide outlines everything needed to organize a club and hold the first six club meetings related to a specific project area. Purpose The purpose is to create an environment for families to come together and participate in learning activities while spending time together as a multi-family club. Members will experiment with new 4-H project areas. What is 4-H? 4-H is one of the largest youth development organizations in the United States. 4-H is found in almost every county across the nation and enjoys a partnership between the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the state land-grant universities (e.g., Utah State University), and local county governments. 4-H is about youth and adults working together as partners in designing and implementing club and individual plans for activities and events. Positive youth development is the primary goal of 4-H. The project area serves as the vehicle for members to learn and master project-specific skills while developing basic life skills. All projects support the ultimate goal for the 4-H member to develop positive personal assets needed to live successfully in a diverse and changing world. Participation in 4-H has shown many positive outcomes for youth. Specifically, 4-H participants have higher participation in civic contribution, higher grades, increased healthy habits, and higher participation in science than other youth (Lerner et al., 2005).
