Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Second WECAFC Strategic Reorientation Workshop, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, 1-2 December 2015 2016
Also available in:
No results found.The Second WECAFC Strategic Reorientation Workshop was held in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, on 1 and 2 December 2015. The workshop was attended by 48 participants from 25 member countries as well as partner organizations, international experts and FAO. The workshop discussed the preliminary outcomes of an independent cost-benefit assessment of the three options for strategic reorientation of WECAFC. The independent cost-benefit assessment, which accompanies this report, is published as FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Circular No 1117. The workshop recognized the value of a transformation of WECAFC into an RFMO for the sustainability of fisheries in the region and that the existing subregional organizations (Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism [CRFM] and the Organization for fisheries and Aquaculture of Central America [OSPESCA]) should be essential components of the RFMO and as such be embedded in its governance structure. -

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. -
Book (series)ProceedingsEstado y perspectivas del cultivo de macroalgas en América Latina
Taller Técnico Regional de la FAO, 24-26 de junio de 2024, Puerto Varas, Chile
2025Also available in:
No results found.El cultivo de macroalgas en América Latina y el Caribe es una oportunidad estratégica para fortalecer la seguridad alimentaria, fomentar el desarrollo económico y promover la sostenibilidad ambiental. Aunque la producción mundial ha crecido, la región apenas representa el 2 % del total, a pesar de contar con ecosistemas marinos ricos y comunidades costeras con conocimientos tradicionales sobre su uso. En respuesta a este potencial subutilizado, la FAO organizó en junio de 2024 el taller ACUIALGAS en Chile, donde expertos de siete países analizaron el estado y las perspectivas del sector. El encuentro abordó temas clave como el valor nutricional de las macroalgas y su papel como alimento funcional, la necesidad de marcos regulatorios específicos, y el aporte ecológico del cultivo, como la captura de carbono y la mejora de la calidad del agua. También se discutieron los desafíos tecnológicos, entre los cuales destaca la necesidad de investigación, biotecnología y capacitación en las comunidades. Se resaltó el valor social del cultivo, especialmente para mujeres y jóvenes, y se enfatizó la importancia de fomentar modelos de negocio inclusivos. En cuanto al acceso a mercados, se planteó la necesidad de diversificar productos y explorar nuevos sectores como el cosmético, el nutracéutico y el bioenergético. El taller concluyó con propuestas para que la FAO, los gobiernos y la industria coordinen esfuerzos. Se recomendó crear una plataforma internacional de macroalgas, fortalecer la normativa, financiar innovación y asegurar que los beneficios del cultivo lleguen directamente a las comunidades costeras, convirtiéndolo en un motor de desarrollo sostenible para la región. -
