No results found.Esta colección de 21 publicaciones técnicas refleja parte de las actividades y resultados logrados durante cinco años de trabajo del proyecto Sistema Integrado de Monitoreo y Evaluación de Ecosistemas Forestales Nativos (SIMEF), una iniciativa del Gobierno de Chile, con el apoyo técnico de la FAO y financiamiento del Fondo para el Medio Ambiente Mundial (FMAM), que ha implementado un inventario nacional que incorpora las dimensiones biofísica, socioeconómica, de biodiversidad y de cambio de uso del suelo, consolidando finalmente un sistema de seguimiento y evaluación del stock de carbono de los bosques chilenos. Estas publicaciones se agrupan en protocolos técnicos que sistematizan las diversas dimensiones bajo inventario de ecosistemas forestales nativos; informes técnicos con presentación de los resultados de la aplicación de estos protocolos; también un conjunto de Manuales Técnicos útiles para profesionales y propietarios en su trabajo de campo. Finalmente, se proporciona un libro de informes que resume el trabajo de SIMEF. -

InfographicInfographicSoil Doctor | How to minimize soil erosion by water 2019This is one of a set of posters, the communication materials for farmers in "Soil Doctors Global Programme". the program is a farmer-to-farmer training programme and the poster will be used for farmers by farmers to teach and learn soil function and problems related to soils. This poster explain contribution factors and preventative factors of soil erosion by water. It is in line with the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Sustainable Soil Management and to maintain healthy soils and food safety in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals and the FAO’s Strategic Objectives. It contributes to the efforts of ending hunger, malnutrition, climate change adaptation, land degradation and overall sustainable development. It also contributes to the strategic framework of FAO especially SP 1, 2.

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.
