    Tackling Climate Change through Livestock
    A global assessment of emissions and mitigation opportunities
    2013
    Also available in:
    As renewed international efforts are needed to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the livestock sector can contribute its part. An important emitter of greenhouse gas, it also has the potential to significantly reduce its emissions. This report provides a unique global assessment of the magnitude, the sources and pathways of emissions from different livestock production systems and supply chains. Relying on life cycle assessment, statistical analysis and scenario building, it also prov ides estimates of the sector’s mitigation potential and identifies concrete options to reduce emissions. The report is a useful resource for stakeholders from livestock producers to policy-makers, researchers and civil society representatives, which also intends to inform the public debate on the role of livestock supply chains in climate change and possible solutions.

    El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación 2019
    Progresos en la lucha contra la pérdida yel desperdicio de alimentos
    2019
    Also available in:
    La necesidad de reducir la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos está firmemente integrada en la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible. La reducción de la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos se considera importante para mejorar la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición, fomentar la sostenibilidad ambiental y reducir los costos de producción. Sin embargo, las iniciativas dirigidas a reducir la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos solo serán eficaces si se basan en un profundo conocimiento del problema. En el presente informe se proporcionan nuevas estimaciones del porcentaje de alimentos perdidos en el mundo desde la producción hasta la venta al por menor. Asimismo, se constata la gran diversidad de estimaciones de la pérdida que existen, incluso para los mismos productos y para las mismas etapas de la cadena de suministro. Para determinar medidas apropiadas, es fundamental detectar inequívocamente y comprender los puntos críticos de cadenas de suministro concretas en los que se produce la pérdida de alimentos (y en los que hay un amplio margen para reducir dicha pérdida). El informe contiene algunos principios básicos para las intervenciones basadas en los objetivos que se desea lograr mediante la reducción de la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos, ya sea mejorar la eficiencia económica, la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición o la sostenibilidad ambiental.
