No results found.La Reunión Inter-sesiones de la Comisión de Pesca Continental y Acuicultura para América Latina y el Caribe (COPESCAALC), celebrada en Lima, Perú, del 24 al 25 de septiembre de 2015, se llevó a cabo por acuerdo de los delegados participantes en la XIII Reunión Ordinaria de la COPESCAALC, celebrada en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina en marzo de 2014. Durante el desarrollo de la reunión, se realizó un análisis y se discutió la conveniencia de ampliar los alcances de la COPESCAALC a los fine s de incluir la pesca marina de pequeña escala. Los delegados convinieron en la importancia de identificar una instancia de atención regional de este importante segmento de pescadores; sin embargo determinaron que por el momento la COPESCAALC debería mantener su atención prioritaria a la pesca continental de pequeña escala y la acuicultura, sin excluir la posibilidad de que esta Comisión sea finalmente la que incorpore también a la pesca marina. Durante la siguiente etapa de la reunión, se reali zó un análisis detallado del nuevo marco estratégico de la FAO, a fin de discutir y proponer acciones que permitan la alineación y mejorar la contribución de la Comisión a los cinco objetivos estratégicos y las Iniciativas Regionales vigentes. Los delegados participantes alcanzaron consenso respecto de diversas acciones concretas para el mejor alineamiento y contribución de la Comisión al Marco Estratégico de FAO y emitieron recomendaciones al respecto, que se plasman en el presente documento. E n el seno de la reunión inter-sesiones, se realizó un Taller Regional sobre Estrategias de Implementación de las Directrices Voluntarias para Lograr la Sostenibilidad de la Pesca en Pequeña Escala, en el contexto de la Seguridad Alimentaria y la Erradicación de la Pobreza. Luego de la socialización y análisis de los componentes de las Directrices, mediante una dinámica de trabajo en equipos, los delegados emitieron una serie de recomendaciones dirigidas a la Secretaría, a la FAO y a los Gobierno s de países miembros de la Comisión, mismas que se presentan en el presente documento. La lista de participantes en la reunión se incluye en el Anexo A; el programa de la reunión y la lista de documentos se presenta en los Anexos B y C respectivamente. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
