Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
Also available in:
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all. -

FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
2023Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance. -

No results found.Un rasgo representativo de la cadena productiva cafetera colombiana, es su constitución eminentemente campesina. La producción se lleva a cabo en fincas cafeteras de manera artesanal, que por su gran tradición, ha influido notablemente en la calidad del producto y por lo tanto, en el reconocimiento y reputación que el café de Colombia tiene en el exterior. La actividad cafetera representa actualmente el 1,6% del PIB nacional y el 13,9% del PIB agropecuario. Los ingresos generados por exportación alcanzaron el año 2006 cerca de US $1.677 millones, representando aproximadamente el 7% del valor total de las exportaciones del país. Esta actividad genera dos millones de empleos directos e indirectos, y constituye el 32% del empleo agropecuario. La caficultura colombiana involucra productores distribuidos en 590 municipios, más de la mitad de los municipios colombianos.
