Book (stand-alone)Technical bookCompendio estadístico mundial de cueros y pieles sin curtir, cueros y calzado de cuero 1984-2002 2003
Also available in:
No results found.This document is the tenth edition of the World Statistical Compendium. The first issue was published in 1980 and substantially revised and updated in 1983, 1986, 1989, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998 and 2001. The present edition, prepared in response to the ever growing demand for coherent statistical data in the hides, skins and derived products sector, contains up-dated figures up to 2002. Country series have been revised in cases where new information has become available. An integrated approa ch used in the previous compendia has been adopted. The compendium contains results of statistical analysis of some 180 countries linking stages of processing from the raw hide to the finished product stage. The methodological approach adopted is described in more detail in the 1986 edition. The detailed statistical data on production, utilization and trade of hides and skins, leather and leather footwear are preceded by eleven summary tables and brief analytical notes highlighting the s alient features and changes which have taken place in the hides and skins and leather sector. Despite progress in enhancing the coherence and comparability of the data presented, shortcomings still exist. It is to be hoped that the work undertaken by the FAO Sub-Group on Hides and Skins will further advance progress in eliminating existing statistical deficiencies. -

No results found.The 2003 edition of the World statistical compendium for raw hides and skins, leather and leather footwear 1984–2002 is the tenth issue in a series that FAO started publishing in 1980 in response to the growing demand for coherent statistical data on hides, skins and derived products. This issue provides up-to-date information to 2002 on this heterogeneous group of commodities for both developed and developing countries. It is based on the same integrated approach used in the previous compendia, which compares fi gures for the subsequent stages of processing from raw hides to fi nished products for about 180 countries. Brief analytical notes highlighting the salient features and changes that have taken place in the sector over time have also been included. -
Policy briefPolicy briefTendencias en la inclusión de disposiciones ambientales relacionadas con los sectores agrícola, pesquero y forestal en los acuerdos comerciales regionales 2024La agricultura, la pesca y la actividad forestal están estrechamente ligadas al medio ambiente y dependen de él para su productividad y sostenibilidad a largo plazo. Sin embargo, si no se gestionan adecuadamente, estos tres sectores pueden causar un efecto negativo en el medio ambiente. El comercio agrícola también puede tener repercusiones en el medio ambiente y, a este respecto, en los últimos años se ha adoptado un nuevo enfoque centrado en cómo equilibrar el desarrollo sostenible con la liberalización del comercio.Desde la creación de la Organización Mundial del Comercio, los acuerdos comerciales regionales se han convertido en una opción habitual para liberalizar el comercio, y su número ha aumentado considerablemente. También se han ampliado rápidamente en lo que respecta a su cobertura reglamentaria, y hacen referencia directa al desarrollo sostenible e incluyen disposiciones que vinculan el medio ambiente con los sectores agrícola, pesquero y forestal. Aunque la tendencia a incluir disposiciones ambientales relacionadas con la agricultura, la pesca y la actividad forestal en los acuerdos comerciales regionales ha experimentado algunas variaciones desde 1995, el número medio de tales disposiciones por acuerdo ha aumentado de forma constante.En esta nota de orientación se estudia la relación entre los sectores de la agricultura, la actividad forestal, la pesca, el comercio y el medio ambiente; se da a conocer la pertinencia de incluir disposiciones ambientales en los acuerdos comerciales regionales; se analiza la evolución de las disposiciones ambientales vinculadas a los sectores agrícola, pesquero y forestal en los acuerdos comerciales regionales desde 1995; se muestra la función desempeñada por este tipo de disposiciones en la mitigación de los efectos ambientales del crecimiento de la producción inducido por el comercio, y se introduce el debate sobre si la inclusión, en los acuerdos comerciales regionales, de disposiciones ambientales vinculadas a la agricultura, la pesca y la actividad forestal constituye el instrumento adecuado para mejorar y ampliar el alcance de las distintas prácticas ambientales a nivel mundial.

Innovation and challenges from country led implementation – Executive summary of the International Workshop. Rome, 10–12 December 2019

No results found.This report summarizes the main findings of the International Workshop “Integrated territorial and landscape approaches for poverty reduction and sustainability: Innovation and challenges from country led implementation” held in Rome from the 10th to the 12th of December 2019. The Workshop was an activity of the project “Strengthening the implementation of territorial development and landscape approaches for sustainable rural development and poverty reduction,” funded by the Millennium Development Goals Fund (MDGF). It was implemented by the Land and Water Division (CBL), with the support of the Social Policies and Institutions Division (ESP), the FAO’s Strategic Programs for Sustainable Agriculture (SP2) and for Rural Poverty Reduction (SP3). The project supported the participating countries (Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Lebanon and Moldova) in systematizing country-led case studies on implementing territorial and landscape approaches, using a common methodology. They were presented during the international Workshop in Rome. The results of this final systematization confirm that (i) multi-level and cross-sectoral coordination are key to address power imbalances, identify trade-offs and negotiate synergetic approaches, (ii) to secure long-term and coordinated financing, this integrated approaches must become institutionalized, moving from isolated and short-lived projects, into policies and programmes. -
Book (stand-alone)Training materialFAO-UNESCO soil map of the world, 1:5000000. Vol. 5: Europe 1981
Also available in:
The project for a joint FAO/Unesco Soil Map of the World was undertaken following a recommendation of the International Society of Soil Science. It is the first attempt to prepare, on the basis of international cooperation, a soil map covering all the continents of the world in a uniform legend, thus enabling the correlation of soil units and comparisons on a global scale. The project, which started in 1961, fills a gap in present knowledge of soil potentialities throughout the world and provides a useful instrument in planning agricultural and economic development programmes.The present volume, covering the soils of Europe, is the fifth of a set of ten which make up the complete publication of the Soil Map of the World. The first volume records introductory information and presents the definitions of the elements of the legend which are used uniformly throughout the publication. Each of the nine following volumes comprises an explanatory text and th e corresponding map sheets covering the main regions of the world.
