Book (stand-alone)General interest bookBuenas prácticas para un manejo sostenible de la ganadería camélida en el territorio altoandino
Guía de campo
2024Also available in:
No results found.La ganadería camélida es una práctica extensiva tradicional y ancestral que data de tiempos prehispánicos. El manejo sostenible de esta práctica, desarrollada por las comunidades indígenas en el territorio Altoandino, busca preservar los recursos naturales y promover la subsistencia de las comunidades locales contribuyendo a la seguridad y soberanía alimentaria. En esta guía se destaca la importancia de proteger este patrimonio agrícola y ganadero a través de prácticas sostenibles y adaptativas al territorio donde se desarrolla, como un testimonio de la sabiduría arraigada en las tradiciones de las comunidades del altiplano chileno, que sustenta la vida de generaciones pasadas, presentes y futuras. En este manual se integra el conocimiento tradicional con el técnico-científico. Este aspecto es innovador en la región y demuestra la apertura a valorar ambos enfoques en el desarrollo del conocimiento. La ganadería camélida se desarrolla desde hace unos 3 000 años y las culturas andinas mantienen vivas las tradiciones en los manejos del pastoreo y técnicas aplicadas al mantenimiento del rebaño o tama. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookBUENAS PRÁCTICAS AGROPECUARIAS [BPA] EN LA PRODUCCIÓN DE GANADO DE DOBLE PROPÓSITO BAJO CONFINAMIENTO CON CAÑA PANELERA COMO PARTE DELLA DIETA

No results found.En Antioquia existen 40.000 hectáreas cultivadas de caña para panela (18% del total nacional), con un rendimiento promedio de 4.000 kg de panela/ha. Se cuenta con 2.500 a 3.000 trapiches, de los cuales el 43% presenta tecnificación media. Las variedades más sembradas son POJ 28-78, POJ 27-14, Coimbatore 421 y PR 61-632 (Uribe, 1998). Para el año 2006, el Ministerio de Agricultura apoyó de manera especial los cultivos tecnificados de caña, en conglomerados mayores de 30.000 ha, para pro ducción de combustibles orgánicos, más conocidos como bioetanol. Como consecuencia del uso de la caña para producción de biocombustibles, se redujo la producción de la melaza utilizada en alimentación animal, derivado normal del proceso del azúcar; por lo tanto, se requieren alternativas energéticas, como la caña panelera, para alimentación animal. El doble propósito en ganadería es un sistema de producción por medio del cual se obtienen simultáneamente carne y leche. El sistema es v ersátil, y permite orientar la producción de acuerdo con la demanda de carne y leche que, por tradición, en Colombia presenta una relación de 1:4 a 1:5 y hoy es de 1:7 a 1:8 (Botero, 1997), es decir que antes se consumía un kg de carne por cada cuatro litros de leche, y en la actualidad se consume un kg de carne por cada ocho litros de leche. -

Esta publicación está dirigida a los agrónomos, a los agricultoresprogresistas, a los extensionistas y a quienes toman decisiones políticas enel campo agropecuario. Describe como la agricultura de conservación hasido desarrollada en las áreas tropicales y subtropicales de Brasil y se haexpandido de un sistema de producción agrícola a una forma agropecuariaintegrada cultivos-ganadería. Dentro de Brasil hay múltiples matices enlos enfoques adoptados por los agricultores y los ganaderos y no existe unconjunto definido de tecnologías para aplicar a todas las situaciones. Sinembargo, la biología de la intensificación sostenible basada en la adopciónde la labranza cero tiene principios comunes.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
