Roma, 29-31 de mayo 2018 - Sede de la FAO
2019Esta publicación es el informe final del Diálogo de múltiples partes interesadas sobre la integración de la biodiversidad en el sector agrícola, que se celebró en Roma del 29 al 31 de mayo de 2018. El dialogo en cuestión representa un primer paso en el ámbito del compromiso de la FAO en servir como plataforma para la integración de la biodiversidad organizada por la Decimotercera Reunión de la Conferencia de las Partes en el cuadro del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica (CDB). Esta decisión ha sido confirmada por la Conferencia de la FAO. En vista de lo último, la Conferencia de la CDN solicitó a la organización de las Naciones Unidas FAO que pudiera facilitar la integración de las actividades de conservación, uso sostenible, manejo y restauración de la diversidad biológica en todos los sectores agrícolas a nivel nacional, regional e internacional. de manera estructurada y coherente y en estrecha colaboración con asociados tal y como el CDB y otras organizaciones de las Naciones Unidas. El diálogo reunió a ministros, expertos e interesados del campo de la agricultura, la pesca, la silvicultura y el medio ambiente. También ha proporcionado una perspectiva holística y sistémica sobre el estado de los esfuerzos y experiencias de integración de la biodiversidad en diferentes niveles, creando así una oportunidad para discutir áreas clave y estrategias viables para la FAO y servirá también como plataforma para la integración de la biodiversidad en apoyo a la integración de esta última y entre los sectores agrícolas en múltiples niveles. El diálogo incluyó un segmento de alto nivel que brindó una oportunidad única para que los ministros de los sectores agrícola y ambiental compartieran ejemplos, planes y políticas nacionales de integración de la biodiversidad. El resumen de este informe está también disponible en español y francés. -

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
Book (series)FlagshipRegional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition – Latin America and the Caribbean 2022
Towards improving affordability of healthy diets
2023Also available in:
Regional Overview present the regional food security and nutrition situation, including trends of undernourishment, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, together with other indicators that could help the understanding of the causes of hunger and malnutrition. This edition offers a regional overview of the socioeconomic state of the region; national and regional data and trends regarding the costs and affordability of healthy diets; the possible drivers behind the high cost of healthy diets and their unaffordability; and introduces policies and investments around the region that aim to reduce the cost of nutritious foods and improve the affordability of healthy diets.
