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. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLos Jóvenes y la Agricultura: Desafíos clave y soluciones concretas 2014Las personas jóvenes representan un alto porcentaje de la población rural y con frecuencia se encuentran desempleadas o subempleadas, a pesar de la necesidad de fuerza de trabajo que existe en la agricultura. La juventud rural enfrenta muchos obstáculos al momento de intentar ganarse la vida. Esta no percibe a la agricultura como una profesión lucrativa o prestigiosa, y hasta que logre ver oportunidades económicas significativas y ambientes atractivos en las áreas rurales, los jóvenes continuará n migrando hacia las ciudades. Esta tendencia no contribuye únicamente al fenómeno emergente de la sobre-urbanización y al creciente desempleo en las áreas urbanas, sino que también se espera que afecte a la producción mundial de alimentos. Por lo tanto, invertir en los jóvenes que viven en las áreas rurales es clave para mejorar la productividad agrícola, estimular las economías rurales y garantizar la seguridad alimentaria. Esta publicación proporciona ejemplos de la vida real sobre cómo invol ucrar nuevamente a los jóvenes en la agricultura. El documento muestra cómo programas educativos personalizados pueden proveer a los jóvenes rurales las habilidades y el conocimiento necesarios para involucrarse en la agricultura y adoptar métodos de producción amigables con el medio ambiente. Muchas de las iniciativas y de los enfoques citados en este estudio se originan en los mismos jóvenes. El siguiente estudio fue un proyecto conjunto de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimen tación y la Agricultura (FAO), el Fondo Internacional de Desarrollo Agrícola (FIDA) y el Centro Técnico para la Cooperación Agrícola y Rural (CTA).
