    La recuperación de los alimentos tradicionales como la yuca, quinua, habas y otros productos que no son commodities es una estrategia válida para hacer frente a los precios internacionales de los alimentos altos y volátiles, armó el Director General de la FAO, José Graziano da Silva, en una reunión de alto nivel sobre nutrición celebrada en el marco de la Asamblea General de la ONU a nal de septiembre de 2012.

    La iniciativa Sistemas Ingeniosos del Patrimonio Agrícola Mundial, SIPAM, cuyo ámbito de acción está ubicado en el Valle de Vilcanota, Corredor Cusco y Lago Titicaca en Puno, Perú, está orientada a la conservación de la agro biodiversidad y preservación de prácticas y tecnologías ancestrales, como patrimonio de la seguridad alimentaria, frente a amenazas latentes como el cambio climático y la crisis del agua, así como la desnutrición crónica. La iniciativa SIPAM cuenta con la participación de co munidades campesinas, miembros de organizaciones comunales, cuyo objetivo es fomentar el uso de semillas de calidad en sistemas de agricultura familiar y conservar el patrimonio genético de las semillas de papa, maíz y quinua

    Los países miembros de la FAO u otras partes interesadas pueden elaborar una propuesta para reconocer un SIPAM (propuesta SIPAM) mediante la participación efectiva de las comunidades pertinentes y su consentimiento previo e informado. Los costes de elaboración de la propuesta correrán a cargo del país solicitante. El Secretariado SIPAM sirve de primer punto de entrada para obtener información sobre las reglas, procedimientos y los principios rectores para la posible propuesta SIPAM.

    Processing of fresh-cut tropical fruits and vegetables: A technical guide 2010
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    There has been a marked upward trend in production and consumption of fruits and vegetables in Asia and the Pacific in recent years. Along with rising consumer demand has come greater awareness of food safety issues and increased need for convenience and quality. Selection of high quality horticultural produce for processing and implementation of good practices during processing operations are required to assure both the quality of the produce and the safety of the final product. This technical guide reviews, from a theoretical and practical perspective, the critical issues that must be addressed for fresh-cut produce to meet consumer demand for convenience, quality and safety. A case study on fresh-cut processing in Thailand is included. The guide should be of practical value to small processors, trainers and extension workers who provide support to individuals engaged in production of fresh-cut tropical produce for sale.

    The State of Food and Agriculture 2019
    Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
    2019
    Also available in:
    The 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.

    The 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
    2020
    Also available in:

    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.
