El 40 por ciento de la población del país estáasentada en zonas rurales donde se desarrollanprincipalmente las actividades económicas productivas,en especial las de tipo agricultura familiar (incluidosproductores/as campesinos/as, indígenas, urbanos yperiurbanos), ocupando el 85 por ciento de la superficiedel país.Por este motivo se están impulsando políticas nacionalespara la reducción de la pobreza rural y proyectosde desarrollo con el objetivo de mejorar los sistemasde producción, su capitalización, extensión ycomercialización.La Agricultura Familiar Campesina e Indígena (AFCI)cuenta con condiciones sociales, económicas yproductivas menos favorables que la agricultura a granescala presentando mayores índices depobreza, lo quedificulta su acceso a servicios y bienes públicos, tecnologíay servicios para la producción y protección social.El proyecto contribuyó a fortalecer las capacidades dela agricultura familiar organizada, para adquirirconocimiento y prácticas que apoyen a gestionar yfortalecer su seguridad alimentaria y nutricional.Se promovió también el empoderamiento de las familias,promocionando iniciativas productivas y organizacionalesque fomentaran la participación de todas ellas yla integración de mujeres y jóvenes en las actividadeseconómicas.Así mismo se contribuyó a fortalecer procesosdeincidencia en las políticas públicas nacionales, elevandopropuestas de gestión integrales basadas en la evidenciapara mejorar los mecanismos que promueven eldesarrollo rural, la inclusión económica y de la agriculturafamiliar. -
ProjectFactsheetFortalecimiento de la Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional y de la Agricultura Familiar en el Paraguay - TCP/PAR/3505 2019
Also available in:
No results found.A pesar de contar con un marco normativo básico, el Paraguay ha experimentado en los últimos años mejoras importantes en materia de legislación, creación y fortalecimiento de las políticas públicas dirigidas a la Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional (SAN) y a la Agricultura Familiar (AF). El objetivo del proyecto fue consolidar los instrumentos y los mecanismos existentes, contribuyendo mediante sus acciones a reforzar la institucionalidad del Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería (MAG), del Ministerio de Educación y Ciencias (MEC), y del Frente Parlamentario contra el Hambre (FPH), instancias que colaboraron en la elaboración de las políticas específicas abordadas en el proceso. -
ProjectFactsheetFortalecimiento de las políticas de seguridad alimentaria y nutricional y de protección social ampliada para avanzar en los ODS 1 y 2 en el post COVID-19 - TCP/RLA/3807 2024
Also available in:
No results found.La COVID-19 ha puesto en evidencia las enormes desigualdades sociales y la escasa resiliencia de los medios de vida de la población vulnerable, en particular, en las zonas rurales. Aunque las medidas de emergencia trataron de aumentar el gasto social y fortalecer los sistemas de salud, eran solo medidas transitorias y principalmente dirigidas al medio urbano. Los territorios rurales son mucho más vulnerables a la degradación ambiental, la deforestación, el cambio climático y, además, cerca de la mitad de la población rural se identifica como indígena o afrodescendiente. El 40 % de las mujeres rurales no tiene ingresos propios, a pesar de ser las responsables de la mitad de la producción alimentaria. Para que los gobiernos no afronten individualmente el impacto socioeconómico, es necesario crear alianzas entre varios actores (privados, internacionales, de la sociedad civil) y apoyar a los territorios rurales rezagados.

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
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.
