Book (stand-alone)BulletinPerspectivas de Cosechas y Situación Alimentaria, No.1,febrero 2008 2008Las perspectivas iniciales apuntan a la posibilidad de un incremento significativo de la produccin mundial de cereales en 2008, debido principalmente a una expansin de la superficie plantada en Europa y los Estados Unidos unida a unas condiciones atmosfricas generalmente satisfactorias. Los precios internacionales de la mayora de los cereales se mantienen altos y algunos siguen subiendo. La demanda, que sigue siendo fuerte, y la disminucin de las existencias constituyen el teln de fondo de la difcil situacin mundial de la oferta y la demanda de cereales que reina en la actual campaa comercial 2007/08, ejerciendo una presin al alza sobre los mercados internacionales. Las importaciones de cereales del grupo de los PBIDA deberan disminuir alrededor de un 2 por ciento en 2007/08, pero las proyecciones indican que, como resultado del aumento vertiginoso de los precios y fletes internacionales de los cereales, la factura por sus importaciones aumentarn un 35 por ciento por segundo ao consecutivo, y en frica el aumento ser mayor. Los precios de los alimentos bsicos han aumentado en muchos pases del mundo, lo que afecta principalmente a las poblaciones vulnerables.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookDietary protein quality evaluation in human nutrition
Report of an FAO Expert Consultation, 31 March - 2 April 2011, Auckland, New Zealand
2013Also available in:
No results found.Protein is supplied by food ingredients, whole foods, sole-source foods and mixed diets and the match between dietary supply and human protein needs is vital to support the health and well-being of human populations. Since 1989 the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) method for evaluating protein quality has been used widely. However, limitations of PDCAAS have been recognised and new research and its application vis-à-vis other methods of estimating dietary protein quali ty. This report of the FAO Expert Consultation on Protein Quality Evaluation in Human Nutrition considers the effectiveness and concerns about the PDCAAS method for evaluating protein quality concerning the PDCAAS method. A new method of dietary quality evaluation called DIAAS is recommended for application in practice. -
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.
