Book (stand-alone)Technical studyManejo de las pesquerías de pepino de mar con un enfoque ecosistémico 2010
Also available in:
Los pepinos de mar son recursos importantes para las comunidades costeras en más de 40 países. Desgraciadamente, una sobre explotación generalizada de las poblaciones silvestres amenaza con la pérdida de biodiversidad y la viabilidad a largo plazo de las pesquerías. Como resultado de un taller internacional de la FAO, este documento presenta una “hoja de ruta” para guiar a los manejadores de pesquerías a escoger las medidas reguladoras apropiadas y las acciones de manejo para pesquerías de p epinos de mar. El documento detalla en su uso, limitaciones y modos de implementación con ejemplos y lecciones aprendidas de varias pesquerías. El lograr el manejo sostenible de las pesquerías de pepinos de mar requiere un enfoque de ecosistemas en la pesca (EEP), regulaciones precautorias, aplicación de la ley mejorada y un mayor compromiso de los manejadores pesqueros y políticos. -
Book (series)Technical studyEstado mundial de la acuicultura 2006 2007La acuicultura se está desarrollando, expandiendo e intensificando en casi todas las regiones del mundo. Si bien el sector parece ser capaz de cubrir la brecha entre las futuras demanda y oferta de alimentos acuáticos, existen muchas limitaciones y desafíos para por lo menos mantener el nivel actual de consumo per cápita a nivel global. Este documento examina las tendencias pasadas en el desarrollo de la acuicultura y describe su actual estado mundial.

Book (series)GuidelineDesarrollo de la acuicultura. 1. Procedimientos idóneos en la fabricación de alimentos para la acuicultura 2003El documento presenta orientaciones técnicas para los procedimientos idóneos en la fabricación de alimentos para la acuicultura. Las orientaciones fueron elaboradas por la FAO como apoyo al artículo 9 del Código de Conducta para la Pesca Responsable (Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, CCRF) respecto al Desarrollo de la acuicultura (FAO, 1997), y en particular como apoyo al artículo 9.4.3 del CCRF referido a la selección y el uso de alimentos y aditivos. Las orientaciones tratan numeros os aspectos que van desde la adquisición de ingredientes, la fabricación, el almacenamiento de grandes volúmenes, la manipulación, el control y la documentación, hasta asuntos como la capacitación y la seguridad del personal, las relaciones con los clientes y el envío de los productos terminados al acuicultor. Sin embargo, los aspectos concernientes a la gestión y manejo de alimentos de acuicultura procesados por los mismos acuicultores en su planta no están contemplados aquí, dado que serán co nsiderados dentro de otra guía práctica que será elaborada posteriormente y que tratará sobre las prácticas adecuadas de la gestión de alimentos en la granja piscícola.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In 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. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe food security through commercialization of agriculture programme in the Great Lakes region
Best practices and lessons learnt from the development of value chains
2013Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture is the principal economic sector in the Great Lakes region of Africa and represents a major source of income for rural populations in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Uganda. With the objective of unlocking the high potential of agriculture in this region, the project described here took a value chain approach, intended to develop value chains inclusive of smallholders, producers and other vulnerable rural actors. Value chains with particular rele vance in terms of food security were selected to be developed and upgraded, with the aim of tapping their economic and social development potential, enhancing food security, diversifying livelihoods and generating employment through more profitable production systems and increased access to markets and valueaddition activities. This document presents the approach and tools used for developing value chains in Burundi, DRC, Rwanda and Uganda, and shows how this approach contributed to economic growth inclusive of smallholders, producer groups, processors and traders, by increasing income and employment opportunities and promoting private sector investments.
