    In Latin America and the Caribbean, overweight affects 23.4% of the adult population and 7.1% of the child population, being higher than the global prevalence, with 6.5%. On the other hand, the prevalence of obesity is also high in the region and is between 11.9% in Haiti and 36.2% in the Bahamas. The highest prevalence in the Mesoamerica sub-region is found in Mexico (28.1%), Panama (26.8%), Cuba (25.2%) and Costa Rica (24.3%). Likewise, the highest prevalence of obesity in the subregion of South America is observed in Chile (27.8%), Uruguay (26.7%), Argentina (26.3%) and Venezuela (24.8%). In this context, initiatives to face overweight and obesity from the different powers of the States are being promoted in the region in recent years. It is estimated that part of the success of these public policies should be that they be designed and implemented based on scientific evidence. However, reality seems to show that there is limited information on the results and impact of policies that have faced the problems of overweight and obesity in a comprehensive and comprehensive manner. For this reason, this publication seeks to make available to parliamentarians and decision makers in public policy a document to guide the design and implementation of initiatives to address overweight and obesity in the region.

    This edition of The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture presents objective and comprehensive information and analyses on the current state, trends and challenges facing two of the most important agricultural production factors: land and water. Land and water resources are central to agriculture and rural development, and are intrinsically linked to global challenges of food insecurity and poverty, climate change adaptation and mitigation, as well as d egradation and depletion of natural resources that affect the livelihoods of millions of rural people across the world. Current projections indicate that world population will increase from 6.9 billion people today to 9.1 billion in 2050. In addition, economic progress, notably in the emerging countries, translates into increased demand for food and diversified diets. World food demand will surge as a result, and it is projected that food production will increase by 70 percent in t he world and by 100 percent in the developing countries. Yet both land and water resources, the basis of our food production, are finite and already under heavy stress, and future agricultural production will need to be more productive and more sustainable at the same time.

The document draws on the findings of case studies coordinated and funded by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Fisheries and Aquaculture Department in the Gambia, India, Kenya, Mozambique, Peru and Sri Lanka, and by the FAO/United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID) Sustainable Fisheries Livelihoods Programme (SFLP) in Benin, Ghana and Togo. In addition to the findings of the case studies, other studies and publications on beach seines were reviewed and used for the preparation of this document.
