No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)BulletinLa comercialización de productos hortícolas - manual de consultae instrucción para extensionistas 1990Para que aumente la producción agrícola, hay que prestar más atención a la necesidad de que los cultivadores puedan colocar sus productos en el mercado a precios remunerativos. La comercialización en el sector de las pequeñas explotaciones agrícolas exige una producción orientada hacia el mercado, que es distinta de la venta ocasional de los excedentes de la agricultura de subsistencia. El éxito de la comercialización de ese sector dependerá pues de que la producción se oriente a satisfacer la d emanda del mercado y de que se puedan eliminar o reducir las limitaciones comerciales de diversa índole. En la mayoría de los países, los problemas relativos a la comercialización o mercadeo se consideran actualmente fuera del ámbito de los extensionistas agrícolas en el campo, que son quienes mantienen un contacto directo con los agricultores. Aun cuando los extensionistas pueden identificar los problemas de mercadeo de los agricultores, su falta de experiencia comercial o el desconocimiento de las fuentes de asistencia apropiadas no les permiten prestar la ayuda necesaria. Este manual, preparado por el Sr. G. Dixie, de High Value Horticulture, del Reino Unido, por encargo de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación, tiene por objeto proporcionar material adecuado de instrucción y consulta sobre mercadeo a los extensionistas que trabajan con agricultores dedicados al cultivo de productos hortícolas para los mercados internos y de exportación. Au nque el manual contiene información demasiado detallada para que la mayoría de los extensionistas lo consulten regularmente, se espera que pueda ser utilizado por las facultades de agronomía de las universidades en sus cursos de capacitación sobre mercadeo agrícola y que pueda incluso alentar a esas facultades a dedicar más tiempo en sus programas de estudio a los temas relativos al mercadeo. Además, se espera que el manual sea utilizado también por los especialistas en comercialización de los m inisterios de agricultura en la capacitación de trabajadores de campo de los servicios de extensión, y que sirva como obra de consulta útil para los extensionistas asesores en mercadeo, donde los recursos permitan tal especialización. El manual también debe servir a las empresas de procesamiento de alimentos, las asociaciones de comerciantes y otras entidades que intervienen en el mercadeo de productos hortícolas.

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. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profilePakistan: Urgent call for assistance 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Severe monsoon weather conditions since mid-June 2022 have disrupted the lives and livelihoods of 33 million people in Pakistan, mainly located in rural areas. Rainfalls were significantly higher than the national 30-year average, leading to devastating floods and landslides that wiped out agricultural lands, livestock assets, forests and critical agricultural infrastructure. The climate-induced disaster struck rural communities amid growing economic and food security challenges, compounding their vulnerabilities and exhausting their resilience. Rural communities, who represent 80 percent of the poorest people in Pakistan and depend on agriculture and livestock keeping for their livelihoods, were among the hardest hit by the disaster, especially in Balochistan, Sindh and Punjab provinces. The document provides an overview of the impact of the disaster on agricultural livelihoods and food security as well as FAO's planned response and funding requirements.
