Evaluación de la capacidad estadística relativa a los indicadores ODS pertinentes para la FAO 2018/19
2019La Oficina del Jefe de Estadística de la FAO realizó la Evaluación de la Capacidad Estadística para los indicadores ODS pertinentes para la FAO a principios de 2019 para recabar información sobre la capacidad de los sistemas nacionales de estadística para monitorear y presentar informes sobre los 21 indicadores ODS bajo la custodia de la FAO. La encuesta recogió información sobre mecanismos de coordinación nacionales para el seguimiento de los ODS, la disponibilidad de datos actual, los planes para abarcar las brechas de datos, y las necesidades de asistencia técnica. Los encuestados eran el Coordinador Nacional para el seguimiento de los ODS o los puntos focales de los ODS designados por el Jefe de la Oficina Nacional de Estadísticas. Los resultados ayudarán a la sede de la FAO y sus oficinas descentralizadas en diseñar intervenciones mejor enfocadas y en movilizar recursos para apoyar a los países en recopilar, analizar y utilizar los indicadores ODS en la toma de decisiones. -
DocumentFactsheetDisminución de la Pérdidade Alimentos en Burkina Faso, República Democrática del Congo y Uganda - RBA GLO 001 SWI 2018Los alimentos básicos de numerosos pequeños agricultores son los cereales y las legumbres. Aunque los sistemas de producción y postcosechaestán mejorando continuamente, sigue habiendo un gran nivel de pérdidas de alimentos en las explotaciones agrícolas, lo cual contribuye al aumento de los precios de los alimentos y a que en los mercados falte una parte del suministro de alimentos. Los tres organismos de las Naciones Unidas con sede en Roma (FAO, FIDA y PMA) —que comparten la motivación de querer reducir las pérdidas de alimentos, en general, y las pérdidas posteriores a la cosecha, en particular—unieron sus fuerzas para fortalecer la capacidad de las partes interesadas en diferentes niveles y desarrollar un enfoque orientado al mercado para abordar las deficiencias de las cadenas de suministro de cereales que provocan pérdidas de alimentos en zonas con déficit. Con el proyecto aumentó la sensibilización sobre este problema y se determinaron y difundieron soluciones y estrategias para reducir las pérdidas de alimentos mediante el establecimiento de enlaces y el intercambio de información a través de una Comunidad de Práctica global en reducción de las pérdidas de alimentos, establecida en el marco de la Iniciativa mundial SAVE FOOD.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
