Also available in:
No results found.El presente documento es el esfuerzo de muchos especialistas de la región unidos en la iniciativa FAO, Alianza Mundial por el Suelo (AMS ), con el fin de proteger el recurso suelo en la misma. Con este fin, se realizaron tres actividades fundamentales: el lanzamiento de la AMS para la región de Centro América, México y El Caribe, que se realizó en La Habana, Cuba, en octubre de 2013 con la participación de representantes de 15 países de la región; la reunión del Comité Directivo Regional (CDR) e legido en la reunión anterior en Managua , Nicaragua, en octubre de 2014 el cual elaboró una propuesta de Plan de Implementación Regional (PIR); y el Taller de Puntos Focales celebrado en la Habana, Cuba, los días 1 y 2 de junio de 2015, con la participación de los Puntos Focales de 17 países de la región e invitados, que elaboró el borrador final del PIR para el quinquenio 2015 -2019, desarrollado por l os cinco Grupos de Trabajo creados con los participantes en el Taller. Actividades todas rea lizadas con el apoyo del Secretariado de la AMS. En su confección, se consideraron los Planes de Acción de los cinco Pilares de AMS aprobados por la Asamblea Plenar ia de la AMS . Este documento contiene el Plan de Implementación Regional (PIR)e incluye, desagregados por Pilares, los productos a obtener y las actividades a desarrollar con ese fin; prioridades; período de ejecución; actores y financiamiento requerido. -

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. -
Book (series)YearbookWorld Food and Agriculture – Statistical Yearbook 2024 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Statistical Yearbook 2024 offers a synthesis of the major factors at play in the global food and agricultural landscape. Statistics are presented in four thematic chapters, covering the economic importance of agricultural activities, inputs, outputs and factors of production, their implications for food security and nutrition and their impacts on the environment. The Yearbook is meant to constitute a primary tool for policymakers, researchers and analysts, as well as the general public interested in the past, present and future path of food and agriculture. -
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.
