    El sistema agroalimentario está cambiando rápidamente en respuesta a la modernización de la agricultura y al cambio de los patrones de consumo en pos de alimentos inocuos, de calidad, y producidos de forma responsable para con la sociedad y el medioambiente. Este nuevo escenario convive con formas más tradicionales de agricultura familiar y subsistencia. Dichos cambios han aumentado la presión sobre los Ministerios de Agricultura (MAG) en los países en desarrollo para que se involucren en el des arrollo incluyente de los agronegocios y la agroindustria. Por esta razón, durante la última década, muchos MAG han establecido Unidades de Agronegocios con funciones técnicas, políticas y de coordinación. Para funcionar bien, estas Unidades deben tener un mandato claro y estar equipadas con suficientes recursos financieros y personal cualificado, familiarizado con enfoques agroindustriales actuales (programas de agrocadenas, agricultura sustentable, alianzas público-privadas y agricultura por c ontrato). No obstante, esta situación ideal ocurre raramente, sobre todo porque se requiere un cambio de mentalidad para trascender la visión productivista, y avanzar hacia un enfoque de la granja a la mesa, que incluya aspectos de manejo poscosecha, comercialización y financiamiento. La FAO ha realizado una encuesta en 71 países y ha analizado 21 estudios de caso en África, Asia y América Latina para conocer más sobre estas Unidades de Agronegocios. El objetivo principal ha sido extraer leccion es y buenas prácticas para orientar a los países miembros sobre cómo establecer y operar Unidas de Agronegocios que funcionen adecuadamente. Esta serie de estudios de casos monográficos presenta lo aprendido sobre estas Unidades y otras respuestas institucionales para reforzar el compromiso público con el desarrollo agroindustrial y de los agronegocios.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In 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.
