107 million people in Europe and Central Asia do not receive safe and nutritious foods in the necessary volumes. Europe and Central Asia: in order to feed the population, it is necessary to ensure effective management of water resources Healthcare in order for residents of Europe and Central Asia on plates to eat food, water safety must be ensured in the region. This is stated in the “regional review of the state of food and food 2024” published today. As the authors of the report noted, the provision of water security can also become a catalyst for the transformation of the agricultural sector of the region, increasing its efficiency and resistance to external factors. ~ 60 >~ 60 > in the review the progress of countries is evaluated in the achievement of hunger and solving problems of nutrition to food. 2030 and emphasizes the relationship of the water sector with agriculture. To prepare this report, the seven UN agencies united forces, including WHO, UNICEF, FAO and VMO. “We strive to accelerate work on the elimination of hunger in the region, improve its population and ensure water security. Our organizations will assist the governments and attract new partners in order to coordinate politics at the national and regional levels and search for sustainable solutions to the region of problems, ”the organizations jointly say in the preface to the report. 60 ~ h2 ~ ~ ~ ~ strong > 62 ~ problems in the field Power ~ 60 > Despite the fact that in Europe and Central Asia the problem of hunger and food security is not as acute as in the world as a whole, a number of regions of the region are still faced with difficulties in this area, including the problem of partial nutrition. As noted by the authors of the report, the problems are due to a number of factors, including climate change and war in Ukraine. ~ 60 >According to the review, in 2023 the level of malnutrition in the world amounted to 9.1 percent, in the region of Europe and Central Asia – below 2.5 percent. However, in Central Asia, the diet of about three percent of the population or 2.3 million people does not have sufficient energy value. ~ 60 > Moreover, about 11.5 percent of the population of Europe and Central Asia – 107.2 million people – faced the lack of food security. In other words, they did not have access to the required volume of safe and nutrient foods. ~ 60 > Nevertheless, over the past two decades, the region has noticeably approached the achievement of targeted indicators in the field of combat to such consequences of incomplete nutrition, as a lag in the growth of up to five up to five age years. In addition, the number of women aged 15-49 years suffering from anemia decreased. This indicator in the region is 18.8 percent, which is significantly lower than the global indicator (29.9 percent). At the same time, the countries of Europe and Central Asia are faced with an increase in the problem of obesity among adults, which affected more than 20 percent of the population in 2022, exceeding the average global indicator of 15.8 percent. The prevalence of obesity among children under the age of five continues to decline, but it reaches 7.1 percent, which exceeds the global indicator of 5.6 percent B. ~ 60 > 60 > 62 ~ about 64.3 million people in the region – 6.9 percent of the population – they could not allow themselves to be a healthy diet in 2022. This is much lower than the average global indicator of 35.4 percent. water safety – path to full nutrition As for the management of water resources, the report goes beyond the standard global discourse, in which the main attention is often paid exclusively to the issue of lack of water. The authors of the review consider such issues as sanitation, hygiene, water use efficiency, water quality. The report also refers to the interdependence of water security and food security. 60 > in the region of Europe and Central Asia recently a state of infrastructure of water supply has recently worsened, problems associated with climate change, water pollution, and ineffective regulation of water resources, and complex regulation of water resources, and complex regulation of water resources. the nature of cross -border cooperation in the field of water use. Countries with a high level of water deficiency, apparently, consume much more water or ineffectively use this resource in agriculture. Demand for more “reservoir” products of animal origin-for example, beef, chicken, eggs and milk-grows in many developing countries of the region, which increases the general needs in the water. “Analysis shows that countries with a higher income, as a rule, are better provided with water. The report indicates a relatively low scale of the lack of food security in the region, even in countries with low water supply. -said Tamara Nanitashvili, senior specialist of the FAO in politics and the presenter of the report. ~ 60 > “However, limited access to safe water and sanitary-hygienic infrastructure in rural areas can lead to modest nutritional results in Central Asia and the Caucasus,” added. She. 60 > report states that European and Central Asia countries should develop and are already developing water use strategies in accordance with their needs. Under such conditions, countries with transition economies are extremely necessary for assistance in managing water resources, especially in areas where water lack of water, as well as investments in water conservation and re -use of water. ~ 60 > 60 > in the report it is also recommended to reduce the “water trace of agriculture” and strengthen cross -border cooperation in the field of more efficient management of water resources. 60 > read also: 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > region
