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. -
Book (series)Manual / guide非洲猪瘟: 发现与诊断
兽医指导手册
2018非洲猪瘟(African Swine Fever，ASF)是一种传染性病毒病，能导致家猪和野猪的出血热，致死率常可达到100%。因此，非洲猪瘟可严重影响养猪业的生产。这不仅会威胁到粮食安全，对供应链上的生猪生产商和其他参与者的生计构成挑战，并对国际贸易产生重大影响。 由于具有相当高的跨境传播能力，目前这种疫病在撒哈拉以南非洲、撒丁岛 (意大利) 以及高加索和东欧的部分地区流行。由于人员、猪肉制品、污染物和受感染野猪的跨境流动，这些地区存在进一步传播非洲猪瘟的长期性风险。任何具有养猪行业的国家都面临风险。散养动物的生物安全水平低，尤其容易受到疫病影响。 非洲猪瘟目前没有有效的疫苗或治疗方法，防范该病的最佳策略是建立早期疫情发现和诊断机制，以及针对暴发的紧急响应机制。在这种情况下，对兽医专业人员和其他一线人员的意识培养和技能培训至关重要。 本手册的目的是为兽医专业人员、辅助技术人员和实验室诊断人员提供及时诊断和应对非洲猪瘟疫情暴发或病例所需的信息。通过阅读本手册，养殖户、猎人和林业管理者也将从中受益。 -
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.
