No results found.Los critérios generales sobre los cuales se ha formulado el programa de intervención, derivan de las siguientes consideraciones: a) La evolución de la acuicultura en la Región, diferenciada entre los países de la misma, ha registrado, en el caso de los más avanzados, la constitución de estructuras nacionales de capacitación a varios niveles, ya sea académico o práctico. Este hecho incluye finalidad y características operativas de la cooperación internacional en la Región, cuyo acontecimiento principal era hasta hace poco tiempo, el curso anual del CERLA (Centro Regional Latinoamericano de Acuicultura), orientado hacia una formación básica de amplio expectro, que representaba casi todas las materias relacionadas con la acuicultura. Este enfoque ya se confrontaba con competidores de varios países, y comportaba obligatoriamente una limitada profundización de las disciplinas tratadas. Por lo tanto, el usuario del curso no correspondía más en su definición a las necesidades actuales. b) Para superar este inconveniente y mejorar la eficiencia en el uso del recurso disponible en la Región y en el Proyecto, se orientó el trabajo hacia cursos cortos de especialización, cuyo limitado objetivo específico permitiera una más atenta definición del perfil del participante, respondiendo de esta manera, a las nuevas exigencias de la Región.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -

Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.
