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
2024Six 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. -

DocumentNon-wood news
An information bulletin on Non-Wood Forest Products
2007Also available in:
No results found.Behind the new-look Non-Wood News is the usual wealth of information from the world of NWFPs. The Special Features section covers two different aspects of NWFPs: a specific product (bamboo) and a developing market (cosmetics and beauty care). Bamboo is versatile: it can be transformed, for example, into textiles, charcoal, vinegar, green plastic or paper and can also be used as a food source, a deodorant, an innovative building material and to fuel power stations. Reports indicate that natural c osmetics and beauty care are a huge global market, with forecasts indicating an annual growth of 9 percent through 2008. The Special Feature on Forest cosmetics: NWFP use in the beauty industry builds on this and includes information industry interest and marketing strategies (consumers are being drawn to natural products and thus their content is emphasized). As can be seen from the articles on shea butter in Africa and thanakha in Myanmar, many societies have always used and benefited from nat ural cosmetics. This issue includes other examples of traditional knowledge, such as the uses of the secretions of a poisonous tree frog in Brazil and the use by the traditional healers in India of allelopathic knowledge.

Book (stand-alone)Sustainable nitrogen management in agrifood systems 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Nitrogen is an essential element in the natural environment, forming critical compounds necessary for all living organisms. As it cycles through air, soil, and water, nitrogen is fundamental to ecosystem functionality. However, improper management of nitrogen in agrifood systems can degrade air, water, and soil quality, while excessive extraction from soils leads to soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and exacerbation of climate change. This FAO report provides a comprehensive overview of nitrogen's role, and the challenges associated with its use in agrifood systems. It explores solutions for improving nitrogen management in crop and livestock systems to enhance nitrogen use efficiency while reducing pollution. Additionally, it highlights the potential of circular bioeconomy approaches to optimize nitrogen management and minimize nitrogen losses. By adopting balanced nitrogen practices, agrifood systems can be transformed to ensure food security, improved nutrition, and sustainable livelihoods for farmers while minimizing negative environmental impacts. -
Book (stand-alone)Kézikönyv a recirkulációs akvakultúráról
Bevezetés az új, környezetbarát, magas produktivitású zárt haltermelő rendszerekbe
2025A halkeltetőkből és szárazföldi akvakultúra-létesítményekből származó szennyezés minimalizálása érdekében az észak-európai országokban bevezetett szigorú környezetvédelmi korlátozások a világ számos részén eredményeztek gyors technológiai fejlődést, beruházásokat és innovációt a recirkulációs rendszerek fejlesztése terén. Az akvakultúra általában hat a környezetre, de a legkorszerűbb recirkulációs módszerek jelentősen csökkentik ezt a hatást a hagyományos haltenyésztési módokhoz képest. Ezáltal a recirkulációs rendszerek két közvetlen előnyt kínálnak: a nagyobb költséghatékonyságot és a kisebb környezetterhelést. Emellett a recirkuláció magasabb, stabilabb, kevesebb betegséggel járó akvakultúra-termelést is biztosít, valamint jobb módszereket a halnövekedést befolyásoló keltetői paraméterek szabályozására az akvakultúra-termelési rendszerekben. Ez a fejlődés üdvözlendő, és teljes mértékben összhangban van a FAO felelősségteljes halászatra vonatkozó magatartási kódexével. Ez a kézikönyv a hagyományos gazdálkodási módszerekről a recirkulációs akvakultúrára való áttérés technikáira összpontosít, és tanácsokat ad a gazdálkodóknak, hogy milyen buktatókat kell elkerülniük ennek során. Az útmutató főbb jellemzői a következők: segíti a gazdákat a recirkulációs akvakultúrára való áttérésben, bemutatja a technológiát és az irányítási módszereket, jó gyakorlatokat ajánl a recirkulációs akvakultúrára való áttérés során, részletes útmutatást ad a recirkulációs rendszer működtetéséről, a személyzet oktatásáról és képzéséről valamint esettanulmányokat mutat be különböző recirkulációs projektekről. -
Book (stand-alone)Przewodnik po akwakulturze w systemach recyrkulacyjnych
Wprowadzenie do nowej, przyjaznej środowisku hodowli ryb w systemach zamkniętego obiegu wody
2025Zaostrzanie restrykcji środowiskowych, mające na celu minimalizację obciążenia środowiska zanieczyszczeniami, pochodzącymi z wylęgarni i lądowych hodowli ryb w krajach północnej Europy, wymusiły szybki rozwój technologiczny, inwestycje i innowacje w dziedzinie systemów recyrkulacji wody w wielu miejscach na świecie. Produkcja akwakultury, jak każda inna, ma określony wpływ na środowisko, ale nowoczesne metody recyrkulacji znacznie ograniczają negatywny wpływ w porównaniu do tradycyjnych metod hodowli ryb, zwłaszcza w obiektach przepływowych. Systemy recyrkulacji oferują więc dwie natychmiastowe korzyści: opłacalność i zmniejszenie wpływu na środowisko. Hodowla ryb w systemach zamkniętych pozwala również na uzyskanie wyższej i bardziej stabilnej produkcji akwakultury z mniejszą liczbą chorób oraz lepszą kontrolą parametrów w wylęgarniach, co wpływa na rozwój produkcji ryb w takich systemach akwakultury. Ten rozwój jest mile widziany i w pełni zgodny z Kodeksem Odpowiedzialnego Rybołówstwa FAO. Niniejszy przewodnik skupia się na transformacji tradycyjnych hodowli na akwakulturę z recyrkulacją wody i doradza rybakom, na jakie pułapki należy uważać w trakcie tego procesu. Główne cechy przewodnika to: pomaga hodowcom w przejściu na akwakulturę w obiegu zamkniętym, wprowadza do tematyki technologii i metod zarządzania hodowlą, doradza w zakresie dobrych praktyk związanych z akwakulturą w obiegu zamkniętym, doradza w zakresie wprowadzania systemu w obiegu zamkniętym, edukacji i szkolenia personelu oraz przedstawia studia przypadków różnych projektów związanych z akwakulturą w obiegu zamkniętym. -
