An urgent reconsideration of rural development is needed for achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

2020年在诸多方面都让我们始料未及。新冠肺炎（COVID-19）疫情为全球带来了一场大规模的公共卫生灾难，各国均陷入了疫情及其相关应对政策带来的不同程度的经济困境，面临服务严重中断和人员流动严重受限的局面。无论是富裕国家还是贫穷国家，均未能幸免。在中低收入国家，许多弱势群体直接面临食物安全、医疗和营养方面的威胁。丧失生计、营养不良、教育中断和资源枯竭造成的长期影响可能性非常巨大，特别是对许多国家来说，距离新冠肺炎疫情的结束还遥遥无期。

The coronavirus pandemic has upended local, national, and global food systems, and put the Sustainable Development Goals further out of reach. But lessons from the world’s response can help address future shocks and contribute to change.

Food systems need to be transformed if we are to meet the Sustainable Development Goals and increase resilience of these systems to shocks. The pandemic has provided useful lessons on opportunities and weaknesses that must be addressed.

The coronavirus pandemic has upended local, national, and global food systems, and put the Sustainable Development Goals further out of reach. But lessons from the world’s response can help address future shocks and contribute to change.

2020 год был во многом беспрецедентным.

L’année 2020 a été une période inédite à bien des égards.

El año 2020 fue un año sin precedentes en muchos sentidos.

Food systems hold the key not only to food security, but also to plant, animal and human health, as well as environmental sustainability.

Today, agrifood systems are undergoing remarkable changes, reflected in the modernization of food value chains and rural transformation responding to urbanization, income growth, and expansion of international trade.

Despite progress, multiple burdens of malnutrition persist worldwide: 795 million people are hungry more than 2 billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies and over 2 billion are overweight or obese.

Продовольственные системы всего мира подошли к переломно- му моменту — масштабы и темпы изменений, происходящих в глобальных, региональных, национальных и местных продоволь- ственных системах, имеют беспрецедентный размах.

目前，我们的食物系统正处于关键时期⸺无论 是在规模还是在速度上，全球、地区、国家和地方食 物系统正在发生着空前的变化。食物系统正以迅猛的速度发展，以满足日益增长且不 断变化的需求，但仍然无法满足每个人的需求。当这份报告付印时，新冠肺炎的爆发 构成了新的全球性威胁。在全世界与这个流行病战斗之际，经济和生计受到破坏之时， 贫穷和弱势群体可能遭受的损失最大。应对这个冲击的影响，包括从供应链和贸易中 断，到严重的失业问题以及贫困水平上升，迫切需要在短期内为最弱势群体提供有效 和有针对性的社会保障。

Nos systèmes alimentaires vivent un moment critique : l’ampleur et le rythme des changements qu’ils subissent au niveau mondial, régional, national et local sont sans précédent.

Building more inclusive food systems can bring a wide range of economic and development benefits to all people, especially the poor and disadvantaged.

Food systems are at a critical juncture—they are evolving quickly to meet growing and changing demand but are not serving everyone’s needs.

Redesigning food systems to be inclusive of poor and vulnerable people is a moral imperative.

For 15 years, I had lived in a small village in southeastern China. We did not recognize malnutrition when we saw it, because to us it looked normal. We were all malnourished.

Food is critical to human and planetary health, yet food is currently threatening both people and planet.
