Despite Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators’ (ASTI) global and regional visibility-and the use of its data for institutional decision-making by various national agricultural research institutes-the incorporation of ASTI evidence into national policymaking remains mostly ad hoc and is often indirect. Moreover, interventions to influence the uptake of ASTI data for this purpose have been limited. Given agricultural research’s important role in increasing agricultural productivity, economic growth, and poverty reduction, ASTI initiated a pilot study in three African countries (Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Tanzania) to develop a clearer understanding of how to promote the uptake of agricultural research evidence. The study focused on how evidence in general, and ASTI evidence in particular, could be more effectively integrated at the national level, particularly to promote the allocation of sustainable resources to agricultural research. The study was conducted in two stages: (1) the mapping of each country’s agricultural research interests and issues; and (2) identifying initial activities through which those interests offered opportunities both to fill research gaps and enhance the utility of agricultural research. Findings from the pilot studies point to opportunities for improving the availability, accessibility, appropriateness, and ownership of ASTI evidence to ensure that it contributes more effectively as a valuable resource for decision-making. Strong relationships and networks are needed to increase awareness of ASTI evidence and to institute linkages with official national data systems. Outcomes indicated both interest in the evidence and recognition of its merit. Greater outreach and connectivity with local institutions may be useful next steps. These findings lead to some general recommendations for improving the use of evidence, along with specific recommendations for the ASTI network approach moving forward. Shifting ownership of the data and systems to the regional and national levels-a key objective of the network approach-is a long-term undertaking. A transition period is needed, accompanied by a strategic plan to shift responsibility and action, first to the regional level and then to the national level where feasible.

This year’s report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks) combined with the high cost of nutritious foods and growing inequalities will continue to challenge food security and nutrition. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively.

今年的报告让我们充分确认到，全世界在努力消除饥饿、粮食不安全和一切形式的 营养不良方面正在出现倒退。当前，距离 2030 年只有八年时间，可持续发展目标 2 中诸多具体目标却越来越难企及。实际上，在实现可持续发展目标 2 方面各方付出 了重要努力，但在更具挑战性和不确定性的环境下，这些努力还不充分。最近导致粮 食不安全和营养不良趋势的主要驱动力量（即冲突、极端气候和经济冲击）加剧，营 养食物价格高昂，不平等现象日益恶化，将继续对粮食安全和营养构成挑战。面对这 一情况，农业粮食体系必须实现转型、提高韧性，通过可持续、包容的方式为所有人 提供成本更低的营养食物和可负担的健康膳食。

ينبغي أن يُبدد تقرير هذا العام أي شكوك لا تزال عالقة بشأن انتكاس جهود العالم نحو القضاء على الجوع وانعدام الأمن الغذائي وسوء التغذية بجميع أشكاله. ولم تعد تفصلنا حاليًا سوى ثماني سنوات عن عام 2030، ولكن المسافة اللازمة لبلوغ كثير من مقاصد الهدف 2 من أهداف التنمية المستدامة آخذة في الاتساع عامًا بعد عام. وتُبذل بالفعل جهود لإحراز تقدم نحو الهدف 2 من أهداف التنمية المستدامة، ولكنها ليست كافية في مواجهة سياق حافل بمزيد من التحديات وتُخيم عليه أجواء من عدم اليقين. وسيظل تكثيف الدوافع الرئيسية الكامنة وراء الاتجاهات الأخيرة في انعدام الأمن الغذائي وسوء التغذية (أي النزاع، والظواهر المناخية المتطرفة، والصدمات الاقتصادية) بالاقتران مع ارتفاع كلفة الأغذية المغذية وتنامي أوجه انعدام المساواة، يُشكل تحديًا للأمن الغذائي والتغذية. وسيبقى الوضع كذلك ما لم تشهد النُظم الزراعية والغذائية تحولًا فتُصبح أكثر قدرة على الصمود وتوفر أغذية مغذية أقل كلفة وأنماطًا غذائية صحية بكلفة ميسورة للجميع بصورة مستدامة وشاملة.

Доклад этого года однозначно подтверждает, что мир отдаляется от достижения целей по ликвидации голода, отсутствия продовольственной безопасности и неполноценного питания во всех его формах. До 2030 года осталось всего восемь лет, но мы с каждым годом отдаляемся от решения многих задач по достижению ЦУР 2. Усилия по достижению ЦУР 2 предпринимаются, однако они оказываются недостаточными перед лицом все более сложных проблем и растущей неопределенности. Усиление воздействия основных факторов, обусловливающих усугубление проблем отсутствия продовольственной безопасности и неполноценного питания (конфликтов, экстремальных климатических явлений и экономических потрясений), высокая стоимость питательных продуктов и растущее неравенство будут и впредь создавать проблемы в области продовольственной безопасности и питания. Только преобразование и повышение жизнестойкости агропродовольственных систем и превращение их в источник более дешевых питательных продуктов и экономически доступного здорового питания для всех на принципах устойчивости и инклюзивности поможет переломить эту тенденцию.

Le rapport de cette année devrait dissiper les doutes qui pourraient subsister quant au fait que le monde perd du terrain dans sa lutte pour mettre un terme à la faim, à l’insécurité alimentaire et à la malnutrition sous toutes ses formes. Huit ans seulement nous séparent de l’horizon 2030, or la distance qui reste à parcourir pour atteindre les cibles associées au deuxième objectif de développement durable (ODD 2) s’accroît d’année en année. Certes, des efforts sont faits pour progresser vers l’ODD 2, mais ils sont manifestement insuffisants compte tenu du contexte plus difficile et incertain. L’intensification des principaux facteurs à l’oeuvre derrière les tendances récentes en matière d’insécurité alimentaire et de malnutrition (conflits, extrêmes climatiques et chocs économiques), associée au coût élevé des aliments nutritifs et aux inégalités croissantes, va continuer à mettre la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition à rude épreuve. Cet état de fait durera aussi longtemps que les systèmes agroalimentaires n’auront pas été transformés, qu’ils ne seront pas devenus plus résilients et qu’ils ne fourniront pas des aliments nutritifs à moindre coût et une alimentation saine abordable, et ce de façon durable et inclusive.

El informe de este año debería disipar cualquier duda que quede de que el mundo está retrocediendo en sus esfuerzos por acabar con el hambre, la inseguridad alimentaria y la malnutrición en todas sus formas. Solo nos separan ocho años de 2030, pero la distancia para alcanzar muchas de las metas del ODS 2 es mayor cada año. Realmente se están realizando esfuerzos para avanzar hacia el cumplimiento del ODS 2, aunque están resultando ser insuficientes en un contexto más difícil e incierto. La intensificación de los principales factores causantes de las tendencias recientes de la inseguridad alimentaria y la malnutrición (a saber, los conflictos, los fenómenos climáticos extremos y las perturbaciones económicas), junto con el elevado costo de los alimentos nutritivos y las crecientes desigualdades, seguirán dificultando la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. Y así será hasta que los sistemas agroalimentarios se hayan transformado, sean más resilientes y proporcionen alimentos nutritivos a un menor costo y dietas asequibles y saludables para todos, de manera sostenible e inclusiva.

Despite a rapidly growing enthusiasm around applications of information and communications technologies (ICTs) to smallholder agriculture in developing countries, there are still many questions on the effectiveness of ICT-based approaches. This study assesses the effects of videomediated agricultural extension service provision on farmers’ knowledge and adoption of improved agricultural technologies and practices in Ethiopia. The study focuses on a program piloted by the Government of Ethiopia and Digital Green and poses three questions. First, to what extent does video-mediated extension lead to increased uptake of improved agricultural technologies and practices by smallholder farmers? Second, is video-mediated extension targeted at both spouses of the household more effective than when only targeted at the (typically male) household head? Third, how cost-effective is a video-mediated approach to extension provision? The study explores these questions with a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the video-mediated approach as applied to three priority crops (teff, wheat, maize) and three technologies (row planting, precise seeding rates, and urea dressing). The trial was implemented in 347 kebeles (village clusters) during the 2017 meher (rainy) season in Ethiopia’s four most agriculturally important regional states. Analysis of data from our surveys of 2,422 households and 896 extension agents indicates that the video-mediated approach is more effective than the conventional approach in achieving several key outcomes. Specifically, we find that videomediated extension reaches a wider audience than the conventional approach and leads to higher levels of agricultural knowledge and uptake of technologies in those kebeles randomly assigned to the program. While our results do point to greater participation and greater knowledge of female spouses in kebeles where both male and female spouses were targeted by the program, we do not find clear evidence that the more inclusive approach translated into higher uptake of the subject technologies and practices. Finally, we find that the video-mediated approach becomes less costly as the scale of operation increases.

We combine in-person survey data collected in February 2020 (i.e., just before the pandemic was declared) with phone survey data collected in March 2021 (i.e., one year into the pandemic) and August 2021 (i.e., approximately 18 months into the pandemic) to study how vegetable value chains in Ethiopia have coped with the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing on the major vegetable value chain connecting farmers in East Shewa zone to consumers in Addis Ababa, we applied a cascading survey approach in which we collected data at all levels of the value chain: vegetable farmers, urban wholesalers, and retailers.
