Book (series)Respecting free, prior and informed consent
Practical guidance for governments, companies, NGOs, indigenous peoples and local communities in relation to land acquisition
2014Improving governance of tenure is the objective of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (Guidelines), which serve as a reference and set out principles and internationally accepted standards for responsible practices. The Guidelines state that responsible investments should do no harm, safeguard against dispossession of legitimate tenure right holders and environmental damage, and should respect human rights. This technical guide on Respecting free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) sets out practical actions for government agencies to respect and protect FPIC and for civil society organizations, land users and private investors globally to comply with their responsibilities in relation to FPIC, as endorsed by the Guidelines. -
Book (series)The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024
Financing to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms
2024Also available in:
No results found.Six years from 2030, hunger and food insecurity trends are not yet moving in the right direction to end hunger and food insecurity (SDG Target 2.1) by 2030. The indicators of progress towards global nutrition targets similarly show that the world is not on track to eliminate all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2). Billions of people still lack access to nutritious, safe and sufficient food. Nevertheless, progress in many countries provides hope of the possibility of getting back on track towards hunger and malnutrition eradication. Implementing the policies, investments and legislation needed to revert the current trends of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition requires proper financing for food security and nutrition. Despite a broad agreement on the urgent need to increase financing for food security and nutrition, the same cannot be said for a common understanding regarding how this financing should be defined and tracked. The report provides a long-awaited definition of financing for food security and nutrition and guidance for its implementation. There are recommendations regarding the efficient use of innovative financing tools and reforms to the food security and nutrition financing architecture. Establishing a common definition of financing for food security and nutrition, and methods for its tracking, measurement and implementation, is an important first step towards sustainably increasing the financing flows needed to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, and to ensure access to healthy diets for all, today and tomorrow. -
Book (stand-alone)The future of food and agriculture: Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
Book (series)Compulsory acquisition of land and compensation 2008
Also available in:
No results found.Compulsory acquisition is the power of government to acquire private rights in land without the willing consent of the owner or occupant in order to benefit society and is often necessary for social and economic development and the protection of the natural environment. The exercise of these powers is frequently contentious and problematic. The guide explains what compulsory acquisition and compensation are, and what constitutes good practice in this area, examining the consequences of poor legi slation, procedures and implementation. It is likely to be of most use in countries that are seeking to understand good practice in this area and to improve their own legislation, procedures and implementation in compulsory purchase and compensation in the interests of society as a whole. -
Book (series)The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2024
Blue Transformation in action
2024The 2024 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture features the Blue Transformation in action, illustrated by activities and initiatives, led by FAO in collaboration with Members, partners and key stakeholders, to integrate aquatic foods into global food security and sustainability, enhance policy advocacy, scientific research and capacity building, disseminate sustainable practices and technological innovations, and support community involvement. Part 1 of this edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture benefits from significant improvements in data collection, analytical and assessment tools and methodologies to present the most up-to-date review of world fisheries and aquaculture production and utilization. Part 2 highlights the role of FAO and its partners to catalyse the transformational changes required to support aquaculture expansion and intensification, effective management of global fisheries and upgrading of aquatic value chains. Part 3 covers the high-impact challenges and opportunities of the untapped potential of utilizing whole fish and by-products to improve food security and nutrition, expounds on the role of aquatic food systems in providing critical climate, biodiversity and environmentally sound solutions, and highlights the importance of their integration into national and multilateral processes. It also presents an outlook on future trends up to 2032 based on projections. The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2024 provides the most up-to-date and evidence-based information, supporting policy, scientific and technical insights on challenges, opportunities and innovations shaping the present and future of the sector, for the benefit of a wide and expanding audience of policymakers, managers, scientists, fishers, farmers, traders, civil society activists and consumers.

Book (series)Evaluación final del proyecto “Fortalecimiento de la gobernanza para la protección de la biodiversidad mediante la formulación e implementación de la Estrategia Nacional sobre Especies Exóticas Invasoras”
Código de proyecto: GCP/ARG/023/GFF [4758]
2023Also available in:
El proyecto “Fortalecimiento de la gobernanza para la protección de la biodiversidad mediante la formulación e implementación de la Estrategia Nacional sobre Especies Exóticas Invasoras (ENEEI)”, implementado en Argentina entre julio de 2015 y junio de 2022, ha tenido como objetivos desarrollar un marco fortalecido de gobernanza que permita la protección efectiva de la biodiversidad contra los impactos de las Especies Exóticas Invasoras (EEI) y potenciar los beneficios socioeconómicos, actuales y futuros, derivados de la conservación y el uso sostenible de la diversidad biológica.La evaluación estima que fruto de la implementación del Proyecto, el Estado Argentino se encuentra mejor preparado para hacer frente al desafío del manejo de EEI y que ha avanzado hacia el potenciamiento de los beneficios socioeconómicos derivados de la conservación y el uso sostenible de la diversidad biológica mediante el control de EEI.Respuesta de la Administración: https://www.fao.org/3/cc3793es/cc3793es.pdf -
BookletBoîte à outils JECFA pour l’évaluation des risques liés aux résidus de médicaments vétérinaires
Section 4.2. Approche du JECFA en matière d’évaluation de l’exposition alimentaire aux résidus de médicaments vétérinaires: Estimer l’exposition alimentaire grâce à l’estimation globale d’exposition chronique/aiguë par voie alimentaire (GECDE et GEADE)
2024Also available in:
Le JECFA suit un processus innovant axé sur les données pour prédire les quantités de produits alimentaires d’origine animale consommés. Ce processus a des conséquences notables sur l’évaluation de l’exposition aux résidus de médicaments.Grâce à ce document d’orientation, vous pourrez:• en apprendre davantage sur les méthodes fondées sur les apports alimentaires qu’applique le JECFA et sur leur utilisation pour estimer ensuite les expositions (estimation globale d’exposition chronique par voie alimentaire et estimation globale d’exposition aiguë par voie alimentaire);• combiner les données de déplétion des résidus (teneurs médianes ou élevées) dans des aliments d’origine animale avec les estimations de l’apport alimentaire afin de prévoir les expositions aiguë (GEADE) et chronique (GECDE) aux résidus de médicaments vétérinaires, en appliquant ce que vous avez appris à la section 3. -
