    La agricultura de montaña es agricultura familiar
    Una contribución de las zonas de montaña al Año Internacional de la Agricultura Familiar 2014
    2015
    Also available in:
    La agricultura de montaña adopta muchas formas -tan diversas como los paisajes de montaña del mundo– pero continúa siendo en gran medida una agricultura familiar. Estas actividades agrícolas de montaña han alimentado y sustentado tradicionalmente a familias individuales aunque, hoy en día, han comenzado a expandirse cada vez más hacia los mercados mundiales. Sin embargo, los agricultores de montaña aún suelen guiarse por valores familiares, culturales y ecológicos, y no sólo por la maximización de beneficios. Esta publicación, que muestra 25 estudios de casos de diversos paisajes de montaña, ofrece una visión general de los cambios mundiales que afectan a la agricultura de montaña y de las estrategias que las comunidades han desarrollado para hacerles frente. Cada estudio presenta también una serie de lecciones y recomendaciones, cuya finalidad es informar y beneficiar a las comunidades de montaña, a los responsables de las políticas, a los expertos en desarrollo y a los académicos que trabajan para apoyar a los agricultores de montaña y proteger estas regiones. Permitir que las comunidades de montaña puedan aprender de otras experiencias y recopilar ideas inspiradoras de todo el mundo ayudará a mejorar su resiliencia. La Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas proclamó 2014 como el Año Internacional de la Agricultura Familiar. Por tanto, la Secretaría de la Alianza para las Montañas, en colaboración con varios miembros de esta asociación, presenta esta publicación para este Año Internacional con el objetivo de arrojar luz sobre las ventajas y desafíos de la agricultura familiar en las montañas.

    The State of Food and Agriculture 2019
    Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
    2019
    Also available in:
    The 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.

    State of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
    Report 2020
    2020

    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.

    Soil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
    Also available in:
    Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion.
