Book (stand-alone)Technical bookOportunidades para promover el comercio agroalimentario intrarregional en América Latina y el Caribe 2024
Also available in:
No results found.El comercio mundial ha experimentado una serie de grandes sacudidas en los últimos 15 años. En el caso de los alimentos, el comercio se ha visto afectado por factores como la crisis financiera internacional de 2008-2009, las tensiones comerciales entre las principales economías del mundo, los efectos del cambio climático, la pandemia de COVID-19 y el conflicto de Ucrania por parte de la Federación de Rusia. Estos shocks han generado una mayor volatilidad de precios y fuertes interrupciones en las cadenas de valor, además de favorecer mayores tensiones proteccionistas, combinadas con una nueva generación de medidas que afectan al comercio relacionadas con regulaciones ambientales, estándares privados, entre otros.Los altibajos del comercio mundial de alimentos son de gran relevancia para los países de América Latina y el Caribe. Por un lado, la región es un exportador neto de estos productos y desempeña un papel importante en la seguridad alimentaria mundial como un gran proveedor de diversos productos. Por otro lado, persisten niveles elevados de pobreza, desigualdad y malnutrición en la región, que tienden a agravarse cuando se interrumpen los mercados de alimentos.En este sentido, el comercio internacional basado en normas, abierto, transparente y predecible es fundamental para la seguridad alimentaria global y regional, ya que aumenta la eficiencia de la producción y brinda a los consumidores acceso a una mayor variedad de alimentos a precios más bajos.En este contexto, el propósito de este documento es analizar el comercio intrarregional de productos agroalimentarios (productos agrícolas y pesqueros) en la región, sus alcances y limitaciones, y también hacer recomendaciones para aprovechar posibles oportunidades de expansión y superar obstáculos existentes. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLa seguridad alimentaria y el comercio agroalimentario en América Latina y el Caribe 2023
Also available in:
No results found.América Latina y el Caribe es un importante protagonista en la producción y el comercio de productos agroalimentarios, ya que es el principal exportador neto de estos productos. La región cuenta con los recursos naturales (tierra, agua y energía renovable) y la capacidad necesaria para producir alimentos de manera sostenible y para satisfacer sus necesidades y abastecer al mundo. Sin embargo, durante 2021, la inseguridad alimentaria moderada o grave afectó al 40,6% de la población en la región (267,7 millones de personas), cifra considerablemente superior al promedio mundial (29,3%). Aumentar la productividad es fundamental para mejorar la situación y alcanzar la seguridad alimentaria, pero con frecuencia no es suficiente. El propósito de este estudio es analizar el impacto del comercio intrarregional de alimentos en América Latina y el Caribe y su contribución a la seguridad alimentaria en la región, así como identificar oportunidades para expandir el comercio intrarregional de alimentos nutritivos.

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 (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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
