The document explains that extremes such as droughts, floods and storms have impacts ranging from production to final consumption of food, jeopardizing improvements in hunger and malnutrition in all its forms.
On Monday, January 27, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. Chile / 10:00 a.m. Panama / 10 a.m. Washington, the new Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean will be launched. This report is jointly carried out by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the World Food Program (WFP) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
The report provides a detailed overview of hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition indicators in each of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean and explains why the prevalence of food insecurity fell below the world average, for the first time in 10 years.
The 2024 edition of the Overview also focuses on building resilience to climate variability and extremes for food security and nutrition. The report seeks to support countries in developing public policies to strengthen the resilience of agri-food systems, allowing the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 2 Zero Hunger.
The report concludes that 20 countries in the region have high exposure to extremes, while 14 have been defined as vulnerable. When analyzing the affected countries (those that present a combination of both categories), an increase in hunger of 1.5 percentage points is observed, which represents a challenge for the decrease in the prevalence of hunger and food insecurity in the region in the last two years to be a trend to accelerate the fulfillment of the SDG2 target.
The report will be presented at a press conference in which authorities and specialists from the co-publishing agencies of the FSN Overview 2024 will participate.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
