Book (series)Technical reportInforme de la Consulta de Expertos sobre la Elaboración de Directrices Internacionales para el Ecoetiquetado de Pescado y Productos Pesqueros de la Pesca de Captura Continental. Roma, 23-26 de mayo de 2006. 2007El Comité de Pesca de la FAO, en su 26º período de sesiones (Roma, 7-11 de marzo de 2005), recomendó que la FAO preparara directrices internacionales sobre el ecoetiquetado de pescado y productos pesqueros de la pesca continental. La Consulta de Expertos fue convocada por la FAO para facilitar asesoramiento sobre esta tarea. La Consulta de Expertos tuvo como principal documento de trabajo las Directrices para el Ecoetiquetado de Pescado y Productos Pesqueros de la Pesca de Captura Mari na, aprobadas por el Comité de Pesca en su 26º período de sesiones y publicadas por la FAO en 2005. La Consulta hizo varias adiciones y enmiendas a dicho documento para adaptarlo a la pesca de captura continental. Muchas de tales enmiendas se derivan de la inclusión en la definición de pesca de captura continental de las pesquerías basadas en el cultivo y con fomento de poblaciones. Las enmiendas se relacionaban principalmente con las secciones relativas a sistemas de ordenación, «pobl aciones en examen», consideraciones ecosistémicas y aspectos metodológicos. No se incluyó la acuicultura en el ámbito de aplicación de las Directrices. La Consulta de Expertos reconoció que la mayor parte de las disposiciones sobre aspectos de procedimiento e institucionales del establecimiento de normas, la acreditación y la certificación se aplican igualmente a la pesca de captura marina y continental. No obstante, había algunos casos en que era necesario reflejar las característic as específicas de la pesca de captura continental, incluidas las pesquerías basadas en el cultivo y con fomento de poblaciones. Otros ejemplos concretos fueron la adición de los gestores de criaderos entre las partes interesadas en el establecimiento de normas o la inclusión de la producción de material de repoblación en la certificación de una pesquería.

Book (series)GuidelineReport of the Technical Consultation on International Guidelines for the Ecolabelling of Fish and Fishery Products from Marine Capture Fisheries. Rome, 19-22 October 2004. / Rapport de la Consultation technique sur les directives internationales pour l'étiquetage écologique du poisson et des produits des pêches de capture marines. Rome, 19-22 octobre 2004. / Informe de la Consulta Técnica sobre las Directrices Internacionales para el Ecoetiquetado de Pescado y Productos Pesqueros de la Pesca de Captura Marina. Roma, 19-22 de octubre de 2004. 2005The Technical Consultation on International Guidelines for Ecolabelling of Fish and Fishery Products from Marine Capture Fisheries was convened by FAO at the request of the twenty-fifth session of the Committee on Fisheries (Rome, 24–28 February 2003) and the ninth session of the COFI Sub-Committee on Fish Trade (Bremen, 10–14 February 2004). The Consultation was attended by fifty-seven Members of FAO and by observers from four intergovernmental and nine international non-governmental organizations. The Consultation stressed the benefits of internationally agreed guidelines aimed at avoiding the misuse of ecolabelling schemes through, inter alia, preventing them becoming barriers to trade. In the course of in-depth discussions, the Consultation was able to make good progress in completing the guidelines, in particular the part dealing with the procedural and institutional aspects of ecolabelling schemes. The Consultation nevertheless acknowledged that more work was still necessary on, inter alia, terms and definitions and the minimum substantive requirements and criteria. It therefore recommended that a two days meeting be convened immediately before the twenty-sixth session of COFI in early March 2005.

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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
