The IOM and WFP report also showed the ways in which food insecurity led to migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Pointing out that there are millions of Central Americans living abroad (with over 80% in the United States), the report stated there is a positive correlation between food insecurity and migration from these countries.
DVM is important to the functioning of deep-sea food webs and the biologically-driven sequestration of carbon. [3] In terms of biomass, DVM is the largest synchronous migration in the world. [4] [2] It is not restricted to any one taxon, as examples are known from crustaceans , [5] molluscs , [6] and ray-finned fishes . [7]

The WEF Nexus Index should be utilised as an entry point into the underlying pillars, sub-pillars and indicators, and can be utilised in parallel with other quantitative and qualitative water-energy-food nexus ...
