Bangkok, Tailandia, 20-25 de febrero de 2000. 2001La Conferencia sobre la Acuicultura en el Tercer Milenio (Conferencia de Bangkok sobre Acuicultura) se celebró del 20 al 25 de febrero de 2000 en Bangkok (Tailandia), con el fin de elaborar una estrategia para el desarrollo de la acuicultura en los próximos 20 años. Representó la continuación de la Conferencia de Kyoto sobre la Acuicultura, organizada por la FAO en mayo-junio de 1976. La Conferencia de Bangkok contó con la presencia de 549 participantes en representación de todos los grupos inte resados en el acuicultura. Los participantes eran miembros de más de 66 países de Asia, África, América Latina y el Caribe, Europa, las antiguas Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas, el Cercano Oriente, América del Norte y Oceanía. En el Anexo 3.1 puede verse la Lista de participantes. La Conferencia de Bangkok preparó el documento Desarrollo de la acuicultura después del año 2000: La Declaración y Estrategia de Bangkok, publicado aparte por la NACA/FAO1. En la Declaración se contempla la contrib ución de la acuicultura a mitigar la pobreza rural, mejorar los medios de vida y la seguridad alimentaria y mantener la integridad de los recursos naturales y biológicos y la sostenibilidad del medio ambiente. La Estrategia comprende 17 elementos centrados en las medidas que el Estado, el sector privado y otras organizaciones interesadas pueden incorporar en su programas de desarrollo para el sector de la acuicultura. En ella se destaca la necesidad de la cooperación regional e interregional par a facilitar su aplicación. En el presente informe de la Conferencia de Bangkok sobre la Acuicultura, segunda publicación resultante de la Conferencia del Milenio, se incluyen las recomendaciones detalladas de las catorce sesiones temáticas de la Conferencia. La tercera publicación serán las Actas Técnicas de la Conferencia de Bangkok. La Conferencia de Bangkok fue organizada por la NACA y la FAO con el patrocinio del Gobierno de Tailandia.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
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. -

No results found.The Protocol of 8-9 July 1946 relative to the dissolution of the International Institute of Agriculture, transferred the functions and assets of the said Institute to FAO. Of these assets, the Library is unquestionably the most outstanding and is a lasting record of the Institute's work and its achievement in the field of agriculture. This catalogue will undoubtedly contribute towards a better knowledge of this international Library. This volume in its present form, represents the systematic card-index, by subject of the Brussels Decimal Classification, in French and English, and it's supplemented by the general alphabetical index of authors.

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.
