Book (stand-alone)FlagshipLa Situación de los Recursos Zoogenéticos Mundiales para la Alimentación y la Agricultura 2010La gestión sostenible de la diversidad genética ganadera del mundo es de vital importancia para la agricultura, la producción de alimentos, el desarrollo rural y el medio ambiente. La Situación de los Recursos Zoogenéticos Mundiales para la Alimentación y la Agricultura representa la primera evaluación global de estos recursos, y se elaboró a partir de 169 Informes de los Países, las contribuciones de varias organizaciones internacionales y doce estudios sobre temas específicamente solicitados. Presenta un análisis de la situación de la biodiversidad agrícola del sector ganadero (orígenes y desarrollo, usos y valores, distribución e intercambio, estado de riesgo y amenazas) y de la capacidad para gestionar estos recursos, es decir, de las instituciones, políticas y marcos legales, las actividades de cría estructuradas y los programas de conservación. Las necesidades y los desafíos se evalúan en el contexto de las fuerzas que impulsan el cambio en los sistemas de producción ganaderos. L os instrumentos y métodos para mejorar el uso y fomento de los recursos genéticos animales se describen en las secciones dedicadas a los últimos avances en caracterización, mejora genética, evaluación económica y conservación.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFlagshipSegundo informe sobre la situación de los recursos zoogenéticos mundiales para la alimentación y la agricultura
Resumen
2015El informe aporta una evaluación exhaustiva de la biodiversidad ganadera y su gestión. Presenta la información disponible más reciente sobre: • El estado de la diversidad ganadera • La evolución del sector ganadero • El estado de las capacidades para la gestión de los recursos zoogenéticos • Los últimos avances en la gestión de los recursos zoogenéticos • Necesidades y desafíos en la gestión de los recursos zoogenéticos. El informe ha sido preparado de acuerdo con la información proporcionada p or 129 informes nacionales, 15 informes de organismos internacionales y 4 informes de centros de coordinación y redes regionales para los recursos zoogenéticos, y con las aportaciones de 150 autores y revisores, así como con datos sobre las razas del Sistema de Información sobre la Diversidad de los Animales Domésticos de la FAO (DAD-IS). Sirve de actualización del primer informe sobre La Situación de los Recursos Zoogenéticos Mundiales para la Alimentación y la Agricultura, publicado en 2007, habiéndose centrado especialmente este nuevo informe en los avances logrados desde la preparación del primero. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -

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. -
