BookletCorporate general interestDescriptores de parientes silvestres de cultivos conservados in situ (CWRI v.1) 2021Esta lista de Descriptores de pasaporte de Parientes silvestres de cultivos conservados in situ (CWRI v.1) se ha elaborado tomando como punto de partida la publicación Core Descriptors for in situ conservation of CWR v.11 publicado por Bioversity International en 2013. También se basa en experiencias recientes llevadas a cabo por la Secretaría del Tratado internacional sobre los recursos fitogenéticos para la alimentación y la agricultura (TIRFAA) de la FAO en el contexto del desarrollo de su Sistema Mundial de Información (GLIS, en inglés). Uno de los principales factores que afectan negativamente a la conservación, el uso, el seguimiento y la presentación de informes de los Recursos Fitogenéticos para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (RFAA) es la falta de acceso a los datos y el intercambio ineficaz de información. Esta falta de estandarización ha impedido a la comunidad de los RFAA de intercambiar datos de RFAA en todo el mundo y, durante años, ha sido uno de los principales desafíos para la conservación efectiva y el uso sostenible del material vegetal. Para hacer frente a estos desafíos, la Secretaría del Tratado internacional sobre los recursos fitogenéticos para la alimentación y la agricultura (TIRFAA) de la FAO se comprometió a abordar estas lagunas y la falta de coherencia en los métodos de documentación de los recursos vegetales, en particular para los parientes silvestres de cultivos (CWR, en inglés) conservados in situ, mediante del desarrollo estándar internacional contenido en esta publicación.

Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge. -

Brief note
2023Also available in:
No results found.The Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) was established at COP23 to address six topics in the agricultural sector's role in climate change. KJWA has contributed to sharing scientific and technical knowledge, but limitations remain in translating outcomes into concrete climate actions. The new four-year joint work on the implementation of climate action on agriculture and food security, which prioritizes ending hunger and considers national circumstances, includes the creation of an online portal for sharing information. The four-year agenda is shaped and broadened through the submission of views by parties, observers, and civil society and will be considered by SBSTA and SBI in June 2023.
