DocumentOther documentBancos de proteína de poró (Erythrina berteroana) y madero negro (Gliricidia sepium) 1995
Also available in:
No results found.Se denomina bancos de proteína a la siembra de especies con follaje de alto contenido proteico, dispuestos en arreglos con alta densidad de plantas para su uso en sistemas de corte y acarreo o pastoreo directo. Se puede establecer un banco en un área correspondiente al 20 a 30% del área de pasturas. Es recomendable establecer el banco en un sitio cercano al lugar de alimentación, y el material de reproducción puede provenir de cercas vivas o de la poda de árboles de sombrío. Se ofrecen algunas p autas sobre la selección y manejo de estacas, preparación del terreno, siembra y utilización de los bancos de proteína. -
DocumentOther documentDistribución de nutrientes en el suelo en asociaciones de poró (Erythrina berteroana), madero negro (Gliricidia sepium) o Arachis pintoi con Brachiaria brizantha 1998
Also available in:
No results found.Se estudiaron los efectos de Erythrina berteroana y Gliricidia sepium asociadas con Brachiaria brizantha, sobre la distribución de nutrientes en el suelo en la región Atlántica de Costa Rica, comparados con un sistema de B. brizantha con Arachis pintoi. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los sistemas en el pH (5.7) ni en la acidez intercambiable (0.24 cmol/l), a ninguna profundidad del suelo (0-15 y 15-30 cm) ni a diferentes distancias del árbol. El comportamiento del Mg y P fue diferente conforme se alejaba del árbol; los mayores valores se concentraron entre los 1-1.5 m de distancia del árbol, con niveles máximos de 5 cmol/l y 6 mg/l, respectivamente. -

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. -
Book (series)BulletinCrop Prospects and Food Situation
Triannual Global Report, No. 2, July 2024
2024The triannual Crop Prospects and Food Situation report provides a forward-looking analysis of the food situation across the globe, focusing on the cereal production outlook, market situation and food security conditions, with a particular attention on low-income food-deficit countries. FAO assesses that globally 45 countries/territories, including 33 in Africa, nine in Asia, two in Latin America and the Caribbean and one in Europe, are in need of external assistance for food. The severest levels of acute food insecurity are found in territories affected by conflict, including Palestine (Gaza Strip) and the Sudan, where the local population is also facing the risk of famine. Drought conditions in Southern Africa are expected to worsen acute food insecurity conditions in 2024. The report includes the global cereal production forecast for 2024 that scaled up and is now set to exceed the 2023 level. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.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.
