让-马丁·鲍尔：创新实践守护全球餐桌

联合国世界粮食计划署粮食安全与营养分析司司长让-马丁·鲍尔在世界粮食日前夕指出，全球粮食安全形势严峻。1全球武装冲突数量创第二次世界大战结束以来新高，航运受阻和气候变化等多重因素持续冲击粮食体系。19月全球食品价格指数升至近四年来新高，1预计到2027年底，全球将新增至少4900万人面临突发性粮食不安全问题。1

鲍尔强调，通过创新实践可以有效应对这些挑战。1预见性项目每投入1美元就能节省至少3美元的灾害损失和灾后响应成本，1凸显提前行动的重要性。在海地的实践案例中，学校供餐项目的本地采购比例已从约20%提升至80%，为大约50万名儿童提供餐食，1这种增强本地粮食体系韧性的做法取得显著成效。鲍尔表示，人工智能数据分析、预见性行动和本地粮食体系建设等创新举措，是守护全球餐桌的关键路径。110月16日世界粮食日的主题为"创新当下，粮安未来"，1正是对这一理念的深刻诠释。

Jean-Martin Bauer, director of the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Division at the United Nations World Food Programme, warned in a recent interview that multiple crises are threatening food security worldwide.1 Armed conflicts have reached their highest number since the end of World War II, while September saw global food prices climb to their highest level in nearly four years.1 The WFP projects that by the end of 2027, at least 49 million additional people will face acute food insecurity due to the El Niño phenomenon.1

Despite these challenges, Bauer emphasized that innovative practices offer concrete solutions to protect global food systems.1 He highlighted the effectiveness of anticipatory action, noting that every dollar invested in predictive projects can save at least three dollars in disaster losses and post-crisis response costs.1 Strengthening local food systems has also proven effective, as demonstrated in Haiti, where school feeding programmes increased local procurement from approximately 20 percent to 80 percent, providing meals to roughly 500,000 children.1 Bauer stressed the role of artificial intelligence and data analysis in developing these interventions.1 His remarks come ahead of World Food Day on October 16, which this year carries the theme "Innovate Now, Nourish the Future."1
