Book (series)Technical reportInforme de la Consulta técnica sobre el marcado de las artes de pesca, Roma, 5-9 de febrero de 2018 2018La Consulta técnica sobre el marcado de las artes de pesca tuvo lugar en la sede de la FAO en Roma, Italia, del 5 al 9 de febrero de 2018. La labor de la Consulta técnica estuvo encaminada a concluir la elaboración del proyecto de Directrices voluntarias sobre el marcado de las artes de pesca. Para ello, la Consulta técnica utilizó un proyecto de texto preliminar que había sido elaborado durante la Consulta de expertos sobre el marcado de las artes de pesca, organizada por la FAO del 4 al 7 de abril de 2016, y modificado posteriormente por la Secretaría de la FAO. La Consulta técnica examinó y ultimó el alcance de las directrices y acordó que la Secretaría podría elaborar documentos técnicos de apoyo a través de un proceso independiente. La Consulta técnica estudió cómo se deberían implantar, controlar y supervisar las directrices y determinó la importancia del marcado de las artes de pesca en la lucha contra el problema de los aparejos de pesca abandonados, perdidos o descartados, así como el papel que dicho marcado podría desempeñar en cuanto a la reducción o eliminación de la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada (pesca INDNR). En las directrices acordadas por la Consulta técnica se aborda además la rastreabilidad comercial del marcado de las artes de pesca y la notificación y recuperación de aparejos de pesca abandonados, perdidos o descartados, y se prevén consideraciones especiales a tener en cuenta respecto del marcado y la notificación de dispositivos de concentración de peces (DCP). Asimismo, se tiene especialmente en cuenta a los Estados en desarrollo y las pesquerías en pequeña escala respecto de la aplicación de las directrices en estos contextos. La Consulta técnica destacó varios aspectos clave para la investigación y el desarrollo sobre el marcado de las artes de pesca y cuestiones conexas y, además, proporcionó orientaciones sobre comunicación y desarrollo de la capacidad. Además, examinó los resultados y las recomendaciones obtenidos de dos proyectos piloto de marcado de artes de pesca respaldados por la FAO y recomendó que se llevaran a cabo otros proyectos en apoyo a la aplicación de las directrices. La Consulta técnica recomendó al Comité de Pesca de la FAO (COFI) que considerara refrendar las Directrices voluntarias sobre el marcado de las artes de pesca. Asimismo, le recomendó que considerara la elaboración de una estrategia mundial integral para abordar el problema de los aparejos de pesca abandonados, perdidos o descartados, la cual podría comprender el establecimiento de un mecanismo que facilite el intercambio de información relativa a la aplicación de estas directrices a nivel mundial, así como datos recopilados por los sistemas nacionales de notificación de aparejos de pesca abandonados, perdidos o descartados, y la recomendación a los Estados para que elaboren y apliquen planes de acción nacionales encaminados a abordar el problema del abandono, la pérdida o el descarte de aparejos de pesca.

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. -
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. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
