Position Paper on Rural Development – The role of animal integration in local and national food systems.

Historically, hardly any farming could function without animal integration. Today, animal husbandry still plays a role in most farming systems, albeit with varying significance and intensity. However, despite its recognised importance for rural economies and livelihoods, animal husbandry is increasingly coming in for criticism.

The Global Hunger Index was released in Ethiopia on April 5, 2022, with the focus on "Working in Partnership towards Improving Food Systems in Conflict Settings”. The launch is aimed to create opportunities to reflect on the challenges faced on tackling food insecurity and malnutrition in Ethiopia towards improving sustainable food systems in conflict settings.

The COVID-19 pandemic is testing the resilience of communities globally, with very differentiated impacts, exacerbating existing inequities and creating new ones. To help shape an evidence-based response to COVID-19, Alliance2015 members jointly conducted a survey in 25 countries. The survey provides striking information on the impacts of COVID-19 on food security, WASH, health, education, income, indebtedness and psychosocial conditions of households.

The 2019 GHI shows that multiple countries have higher hunger levels now than in 2010. Approximately 45 countries are set to fail to achieve low levels of hunger by 2030. Conflict, inequality, and the effects of climate change have all contributed to persistently high levels of hunger and food insecurity around the world.
