DocumentEvaluation reportEvaluación del trabajo de la FAO en el sector de la producción, las políticas y la información pecuarias 2005La FAO debe desempeñar una función única en este entorno cada vez más complejo por tratarse del organismo de las Naciones Unidas al que le ha sido confiada la responsabilidad de fomentar el sector pecuario. No obstante, la mera provisión de tecnologías ya no tiene efectos importantes en muchos países y, para determinar las intervenciones adecuadas, es necesario vigilar las tendencias mundiales, determinar los marcos institucionales más adecuados y evaluar las repercusiones de las políticas, para lo que se requieren conocimientos transectoriales.

DocumentEvaluation reportEvaluación en tiempo real de las operaciones de emergencia y rehabilitación de la FAO en respuesta al terremoto y al tsunami del Océano Índico 2007En diciembre de 2004, el tsunami del Océano Índico ocasionó la muerte a 300 000 personas aproximadamente y afectó a los medios de vida de otros dos millones de personas. El desastre ha sido el mayor reto al que se ha enfrentado la FAO hasta la fecha por lo que a situaciones de emergencia se refiere, ya que exigió una respuesta más multiforme, así como más asistencia técnica que cualquier otra operación previa de socorro y recuperación realizada por la Organización.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
