dc.descriptionThe world’s Small Island Developing States (SIDS) share unique vulnerabilities, resulting in a complex set of food security and nutrition challenges. Because of their small size and isolation, SIDS are particularly threatened by natural disasters and the impacts of climate change. Many have limited arable agricultural land and depend on small scale agriculture, ocean resources and high-priced imports. Further, the triple burden of malnutrition is often a reality in SIDS, with undernourishment, micronutrient deficiency and obesity coexisting within the same country, community and even household. The sheer scope of the challenges facing SIDS means closer international cooperation and a more integrated approach will be required to support them in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. FAO has a proven record of supporting SIDS in their efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, transform food systems, and empower people and communities to lead healthy and productive lives. This publication presents the special case of SIDS, highlighting current challenges and opportunities. It features examples of FAO in action to catalyse change, including activities to help implement the Global Action Programme on Food Security and Nutrition in SIDS.
