Resumen
Descripción
Rapidly increasing input prices, especially for fertilizers and energy derived from fossil fuels, have put upward pressure on world food prices, with negative consequences for global food security. The situation is particularly severe in Africa, where countries are heavily dependent on imported agricultural inputs and smallholders account for a large share of agricultural production, many of whom are food insecure themselves. These pressing challenges must be addressed collectively. In the joint FAO-WTO report on fertilizer markets and policies, G20 governments are urged to take action to promote access to, and more efficient use of fertilizers, laying the foundation for further progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition.
