    Este trabajo es un componente del Plan Continental para la Erradicacin de la PPC en las Amricas que la Organizacin de las Naciones Unidad para la Agricultura y la Alimentacin (FAO) lanz en el ao 2000. El estudio tiene el objetivo general de Mejorar la asignacin de los recursos escasos para las acciones de erradicacin de la PPC en las Amricas. Durante el estudio los autores hicieron una revisin: de la literatura general sobre el anlisis del impacto de las enfermedades animales; y de la literatura especfica sobre el impacto de la PPC. La revisin general identific las escuelas de pensamiento ms importantes con respecto de la economa de las enfermedades animales y sus contribuciones en temas tericos y prcticos. De ellos los avances ms importantes son el uso del marco de costo-beneficio en el anlisis del impacto de las enfermedades animales y la identificacin a travs la economa terica de la importancia de costos fijos en los programas de erradicacin de las enfermedades c ontagiosas...

    La Peste Porcina Clásica (PPC) también conocida como Cólera Porcino o Fiebre Porcina Clásica, es una enfermedad viral específica de los suinos domésticos y silvestres, muy contagiosa, con una elevada tasa de morbilidad y mortalidad, cuya transmisión puede ser a través de contacto directo con animales enfermos e indirecto mediante la intervención del ser humano, fomites contaminados, excrementos y/o alimentos de origen porcino. Generalmente los animales adquieren la infección por vía oral o trasplacentaria. Asimismo, el virus de la PPC tiene una gran resistencia al ambiente exterior, pudiendo sobrevivir varias semanas en productos cárnicos de cerdo y hasta tres semanas en el medio ambiente. Su diagnóstico diferencial no es fácil debido a la presencia de cepas del virus PPC de baja y de alta virulencia que afectan de manera distinta a los animales y a su semejanza clínica con la Peste Porcina Africana, Salmonelosis, Erisipelas agudas, Pasteurelosis agudas e intoxicaciones po r anticoagulantes, otras enfermedades como la Diarrea Viral Bovina pueden afectar a los cerdos, siendo necesario en este caso la aplicación de diagnósticos diferenciales.

    The 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
    2020
    Also available in:

    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.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In 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.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.
