No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical bookSituación de los mercados de productos básicos 2003-2004 2003La presente edición de Situación de los Mercados de Productos Básicos (SMPB) difere notablemente de las anteriores. Hasta ahora la SMPB se centraba principalmente en el análisis de las novedades registradas en los mercados de productos básicos, acompañado de una descripción de la situación en curso y de las perspectivas a corto plazo. La SMPB 2001-2002 se apartó algo de ese formato, incluyendo algunos artículos analíticos breves, en los que se trataba de explicar con mayor detalle los factores q ue configuran la evolución del mercado de productos básicos. Desde hace unos años, la situación y las perspectivas de los productos alimenticios y agropecuarios se publican en las páginas web de la Dirección de Productos Básicos y Comercio, que se encuentran en el sitio web de la FAO, www.fao.org (bajo Economía, Productos Básicos y Comercio) o directamente en el sitio www.fao.org/ES/ESC, en las que existen mayores posibilidades para una divulgación oportuna de informaciones sobre mercados más pormenorizadas y una actualización más frecuente de lo que puede hacerse a través de las publicaciones impresas convencionales. Las páginas web han sido objeto de una reformulación destinada a facilitar su acceso y utilización, con lo cual se evita repetir la misma información en forma impresa.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookEXAMEN DE LAS POLÍTICAS SOBRE PRODUCTOS ALIMENTICIOS BÁSICOS 2002 2003Es éste el segundo número de la publicación Examen de las políticas alimentarias básicas, que trata de la evolución de las políticas relativas a la producción, el consumo, la comercialización y el comercio de cereales, semillas oleaginosas y productos agropecuarios, durante el período 2001-2002. La información contenida en el presente informe procede de las respuestas de los países a los cuestionarios de la FAO y de otras fuentes a disposición del público. El período examinado estuvo m arcado por varios acontecimientos importantes, en especial el Acuerdo de la Conferencia Ministerial de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) celebrada en Doha, que dio comienzo a una nueva ronda de negociaciones comerciales multilaterales. Dicho Acuerdo ha dado lugar a los debates sobre agricultura actualmente en curso que incluyen el examen de la experiencia adquirida hasta la fecha en materia de aplicación del Acuerdo sobre Agricultura de la Ronda Uruguay (AARU). Así pues, se es pera que el examen de las políticas agrícolas que figura en este informe y en otros de la presente publicación pueda ayudar a los países a preparar sus negociaciones en materia de agricultura.

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. -

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.
