Book (stand-alone)FAO strategy / plan / policy / roadmapUnited Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 - Global Action Plan 2019Agriculture today faces increasing pressure to provide sufficient, affordable and nutritious food for a growing population, cope with climate change and the degradation of natural resources, including water scarcity, soil depletion, and biodiversity loss. Pervasive inequalities between rural and urban areas have led to an unprecedented level of urbanization. To feed the world and do it sustainably, an urgent and radical shift in our food systems is necessary. To be effective, transformative actions must address a complex set of interconnected objectives encompassing economic, social and environmental dimensions. Family farmers are at the heart of this issue. They provide the majority of the world’s food, are the major investors in agriculture and the backbone of the rural economic structure. The Global Action Plan of the UNDFF provides detailed guidance for the international community on collective, coherent and comprehensive actions that can be taken to support family farmers. It outlines a comprehensive approach to support efforts to achieve the SDGs, in the context of the progressive realization of the Right to Adequate Food. Designed around seven mutually reinforcing pillars of work, the Global Action Plan recommends a series of interconnected actions from the local to the global level. Any interventions developed during the decade must always consider the diversity of family farmers. They should be context-specific, adapted to regional, national, local socio-cultural and socio-economic conditions. To guarantee the success of the UNDFF, all actions should place family farmers at the center and be implemented through bottom-up, participatory and inclusive processes.

Book (series)Manual / guideA guide to forest–water management 2021Many people worldwide lack adequate access to clean water to meet basic needs, and many important economic activities, such as energy production and agriculture, also require water. Climate change is likely to aggravate water stress. As temperatures rise, ecosystems and the human, plant, and animal communities that depend on them will need more water to maintain their health and to thrive. Forests and trees are integral to the global water cycle and therefore vital for water security – they regulate water quantity, quality, and timing and provide protective functions against (for example) soil and coastal erosion, flooding, and avalanches. Forested watersheds provide 75 percent of our freshwater, delivering water to over half the world’s population. The purpose of A Guide to Forest–Water Management is to improve the global information base on the protective functions of forests for soil and water. It reviews emerging techniques and methodologies, provides guidance and recommendations on how to manage forests for their water ecosystem services, and offers insights into the business and economic cases for managing forests for water ecosystem services. Intact native forests and well-managed planted forests can be a relatively cheap approach to water management while generating multiple co-benefits. Water security is a significant global challenge, but this paper argues that water-centered forests can provide nature-based solutions to ensuring global water resilience.

Book (series)FlagshipEl estado mundial de la pesca y la acuicultura 2018 (SOFIA)
Cumplir los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible
2018En la edición de 2018 de El estado mundial de la pesca y la acuicultura se hace hincapié en el papel del sector en el cumplimiento de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible y de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible y en la medida del avance hacia la consecución de esos objetivos. Se ponen de relieve las contribuciones particulares de la pesca continental y en pequeña escala, y se destaca la importancia de una gobernanza basada en los derechos para lograr un desarrollo equitativo e inclusivo. Al igual que en las ediciones anteriores, la publicación comienza con un análisis mundial de las tendencias en la producción de la pesca y la acuicultura, las poblaciones, la elaboración y el uso, el comercio y el consumo, sobre la base de las últimas estadísticas oficiales; y una revisión de la situación de las flotas pesqueras mundiales, el compromiso humano y la gobernanza en el sector. Entre los temas abordados en las partes 2, 3 y 4 se encuentran: la biodiversidad acuática; el enfoque ecosistémico de la pesca y la acuicultura; los efectos del cambio climático y las respuestas a ellos; la contribución del sector a la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición, así como cuestiones relacionadas con el comercio internacional, la protección del consumidor y las cadenas de valor sostenibles. Asimismo, se tratan temas relativos a la evolución mundial de la lucha contra la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada, preocupaciones específicas relacionadas con la contaminación de los océanos y las iniciativas de la FAO para mejorar los datos en materia de pesca de captura. Esta edición culmina con las perspectivas sobre el sector, incluidas las previsiones para 2030. Como de costumbre, la publicación El estado mundial de la pesca y la acuicultura tiene como finalidad proporcionar información objetiva, fiable y actualizada para un amplio público que incluye responsables de la formulación de políticas, gestores, científicos, partes interesadas y, ciertamente, todas las personas que tengan interés en el sector de la pesca y la acuicultura.
