No results found.La actividad agropecuaria en la República Dominicana representa una fuente importante de generación de ingresos y sustento para productores y productoras de las zonas rurales, quienes contribuyen a la seguridad alimentaria de la población, produciendo el 85 por ciento de los alimentos que se consumen a nivel nacional Según el Ministerio de Agricultura ( más del 90 por ciento de la producción agropecuaria la llevan a cabo pequeños y medianos productores y productoras, los cuales realizan sus actividades en sistemas de producción tradicionales, con baja eficiencia productiva y económica, y limitado acceso a innovación tecnológica y asistencia técnica El 25 7 por ciento de la población dominicana reside en el ámbito rural, donde la pobreza afecta al 38 por ciento de las personas, datos extraídos de la ONE 2010 situación que se ve agravada cuando se incorpora la variable sexo al análisis de pobreza y ruralidad, evidenciando marcadas brechas de género En dicho contexto, el Ministerio de Agricultura de la República Dominicana impulsa el Sistema de Asistencia Técnica e Innovación Agropecuaria ( que, a pesar de presentar importantes retos, representa un apoyo importante en el fortalecimiento de capacidades que impulsan el desarrollo sostenible en las cadenas agroalimentarias y se enfrenta a los riesgos del cambio climático, la transición demográfica y la migración, promoviendo a su vez, el relevo generacional e impulsando la participación de mujeres jóvenes y la integración de tecnologías e innovación en la asistencia técnica ofrecida a los agricultores y agricultoras. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSimposio Internacional sobre la sostenibilidad de la pesca: fortaleciendo el nexo entre ciencia y política pesquera 2019The objective of this Symposium is to identify pathways to strengthen the science and policy interplay in fisheries production, management and trade, based on solid sustainability principles for improved global outcomes on the ground. Ultimately, the debates and conclusions of the symposium will prepare the way for the development of a new vision for the way we perceive and use capture fisheries, outlining how the sector can respond to the complex and rapidly changing challenges facing society, and support the planning process of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030).

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureCiência, inovação e transformação digital a serviço da segurança alimentar 2018As descobertas científicas, inovações técnicas e a aplicação da tecnologia digital têm o potencial de contribuir para uma transformação estrutural em grande escala dos sistemas alimentares. Em segurança alimentar e controle de processos, como acontece em outras áreas, os avanços técnicos sobrepassam a compreensão de como usar esses avanços da forma mais vantajosa e também de saber como estes devem ser regulados. Considerando a necessidade de se produzir mais alimentos, de forma mais segura e sob a pressão gerada pelas mudanças demográficas e na dieta, alterações climáticas, inovações como os novos métodos analíticos, biotecnologias de edição de genes e novas formas de produção de alimentos podem gerar sistemas alimentares mais resilientes e eficientes. Ao mesmo tempo, avanços científicos importantes como o Sequenciamento Completo do Genoma (Whole Genome Sequencing, WGS), prometem melhor identificar, caracterizar, determinar e responder aos riscos em potencial, além de prevenir e reduzir riscos na cadeia alimentar. Não é necessário que as inovações sejam complexas para causar impacto: há muitas oportunidades para adaptar e promover tecnologias que tenham impacto positivo, especialmente em países de renda baixa. Outro papel importante para a ciência é o de produzir as melhores evidências para informar os tomadores de decisões, o setor privado e os consumidores. Atualmente, uma boa parte da priorização e gestão da segurança alimentar carece de base científica e portanto pode não estar representando o melhor uso dos escassos recursos. Obstáculos e oportunidades para a implementação igualitária de descobertas científicas essenciais e pela digitalização responsável de sistemas alimentares precisam ser explorados a partir da perspectiva do impacto na segurança alimentar, acessibilidade e sustentabilidade no nível global, com atenção para o grau de preparo dos marcos regulatórios e aceitação pelos consumidores.

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. -
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.
