The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2010 : addressing Food Insecurity in Protracted Crises
FAO, 2010The number of undernourished people in the world remains unacceptably high at close to one billion in 2010 despite an expected decline – the first in 15 years. This decline is largely attributable to a more favourable economic environment in 2010 – particularly in developing countries – and the fall in both international and domestic food prices since 2008.

Indigenous peoples1 must be considered an undeniable stakeholder in a development agenda shaped by such a mandate. Recent estimates indicate that although indigenous peoples make up approximately 5 percent of the world’s total population, they comprise about 15 percent of the global poor.2 The adversities faced by indigenous peoples have grown in the last few decades, but so too have the recognition of and appreciation for their potential contributions to sustainable development and natural resources management. Protecting the livelihood systems and specialized knowledge that are held within these communities will reverse the steady erosion of indigenous cultures but may also bring novel solutions to the fight against food insecurity and malnutrition, poverty and environmental degradation.

يعرض تقرير حالة انعدام الأمن لغذائي 2010 : التصدي لانعدام الأمن الغذائي في ظلّ الأزمات الطويلة الأمد
FAO, 2010لا يزال عدد ناقصي التغذية في العالم مرتفعاً بصورة لم تعد مقبولة حيث يكاد يصل إلى مليار نسمة في عام 2010 رغم التراجع المتوقع – للمرة الأولى منذ 15 عاماً. ويُعزى هذا التراجع في قسم كبير منه إلى وجود مناخ اقتصادي مشجّع أكثر في عام 2010 – خاصة في البلدان النامية – وإلى انخفاض الأسعار الدولية والمحلية للمواد الغذائية منذ سنة 2008.

世界粮食不安全状况 2010 : 应对持续危机中的粮食不安全问题
FAO, 2010世界上营养不足人口的数量在2010年仍处于令人难以接受的高位,接近10亿,尽管这一数字已经像预期的那样,出现了15年来的首度下降。下降的原因主要归功于2010年经济环境的好转,特别是在发展中国家,还归功于自2008年以来国际及国内粮价的回落。

El Estado de la Inseguridad Alimentaria en el Mundo 2010 : la inseguridad alimentaria en crisis prolongadas
FAO, 2010El número de personas subnutridas en el mundo sigue siendo inaceptablemente elevado, casi mil millones en 2010, a pesar de haber experimentado una reducción prevista, la primera en 15 años. Esta reducción se puede atribuir principalmente a la existencia de un entorno económico más favorable en 2010, especialmente en los países en desarrollo, y a la caída de los precios nacionales e internacionales de los alimentos desde 2008.

Положение дел в связи с отсутствием продовольственной безопасности в мире 2010 : Решение проблемы отсутствия продовольственной безопасности в условиях затяжных кризисов
FAO, 2010Несмотря на ожидаемое снижение – впервые за 15 лет - число недоедающих людей в мире в 2010 году остается недопустимо высоким, приблизившись к 1 миллиарду человек. Это снижение относят главным образом на счет более благоприятной экономической конъюнктуры в 2010 году, особенно в развивающихся странах, и снижения как мировых, так и внутренних цен на продовольствие после 2008 года.

L'état de l’insécurité alimentaire dans le monde 2010 : combattre l’insécurité alimentaire lors des crises prolongées
FAO, 2010Le nombre de personnes sous-alimentées dans le monde, qui avoisine le milliard en 2010, se maintient à un niveau inacceptable malgré une baisse attendue – la première en 15 ans. Cette baisse s'explique dans une large mesure par un environnement économique plus favorable en 2010 – notamment dans les pays en développement – et par la diminution des prix des denrées alimentaires sur les marchés intérieurs et internationaux depuis 2008.
