    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.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    In 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.

    El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación 2024
    Transformación de los sistemas agroalimentarios orientada hacia el valor
    2025
    Desvelar el costo real de los alimentos es el primer paso para hacer los sistemas agroalimentarios más inclusivos, resilientes y sostenibles. Como se reveló en El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación 2023, las actividades relacionadas con los sistemas agroalimentarios generan beneficios significativos para la sociedad, pero también tienen repercusiones negativas en cuanto a la sostenibilidad económica, social y ambiental. Los costos ocultos cuantificados de los sistemas agroalimentarios ascienden a cerca del 10 % del producto interno bruto mundial. Por consiguiente, es necesario adoptar medidas estratégicas, y todos los actores de los sistemas agroalimentarios —desde productores y agronegocios hasta consumidores y gobiernos— tienen un papel crucial que desempeñar.Si bien la transformación de los sistemas agroalimentarios supondría un beneficio neto global, los beneficios y los costos se distribuirían de forma desigual entre las partes interesadas y los países a lo largo del tiempo. En El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación 2024, a partir de las conclusiones de la edición de 2023, se analiza en mayor profundidad el uso de evaluaciones de los sistemas agroalimentarios basadas en la contabilidad de costos reales y se determinan intervenciones en materia de políticas con miras a lograr esa transformación. Mediante el uso de conjuntos de datos mundiales actualizados, el informe confirma las estimaciones previas de los costos ocultos cuantificados de los sistemas agroalimentarios y en él se presenta un desglose detallado de los costos ocultos asociados con hábitos alimentarios malsanos y con las enfermedades no transmisibles en 156 países. Estos datos se analizan através de la lente de seis categorías de sistemas agroalimentarios para tener en cuenta diversos resultados y costos ocultos que exigen distintas intervenciones en materia de políticas. Varios estudios de casos que ofrecen evaluaciones en profundidad de los contextos nacionales, locales y en cuanto a las cadenas de valor ilustran las repercusiones económicas, sociales y ambientales de las prácticas actuales a fin de guiar las mencionadas intervenciones. La necesidad de mantener consultas inclusivas con las partes interesadas es crucial en todos los contextos a fin de fundamentar las intervenciones y conciliar los desequilibrios de poder y la compensación de ventajas y desventajas.
