Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureCompromiso con las abejas: reconstruir mejor en favor de las abejas
20 de mayo de 2021, Día Mundial de las Abejas – Participe
2021Nuestra existencia depende de las abejas y otros polinizadores. Desempeñan una función esencial en la agricultura y los ecosistemas mundiales, ya que mantienen nuestro suministro de alimentos y contribuyen a la biodiversidad y otros servicios ecosistémicos. La gran mayoría de los polinizadores son silvestres, entre ellos más de 20 000 especies de abejas y numerosos tipos de mariposas, pájaros, murciélagos y otros insectos. Sin embargo, en muchas zonas, las abejas, los polinizadores y muchos otros insectos están disminuyendo en términos de abundancia y diversidad. La mayoría de los factores responsables de esta situación están provocados por el ser humano. La celebración del Día Mundial de las Abejas el 20 de mayo brinda la oportunidad de solicitar una cooperación y solidaridad a escala mundial para garantizar que se otorgue prioridad a los esfuerzos destinados a proteger a las abejas y otros polinizadores, mitigando así las amenazas para la seguridad alimentaria y los medios de vida agrícolas y evitando la pérdida de biodiversidad y la degradación del medio ambiente. El Día Mundial de las Abejas también constituirá una ocasión para concienciar sobre el modo en que todos nosotros podemos contribuir a respaldar, restablecer y mejorar la función de los polinizadores. -

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.

Book (series)GuidelineGood beekeeping practices for sustainable apiculture 2021
Also available in:
Bees provide a critical link in the maintenance of ecosystems, pollination. They play a major role in maintaining biodiversity, ensuring the survival of many plants, enhancing forest regeneration, providing sustainability and adaptation to climate change and improving the quality and quantity of agricultural production systems. In fact, close to 75 percent of the world’s crops that produce fruits and seeds for human consumption depend, at least in part, on pollinators for sustained production, yield and quality. Beekeeping, also called apiculture, refers to all activities concerned with the practical management of social bee species. These guidelines aim to provide useful information and suggestions for a sustainable management of bees around the world, which can then be applied to project development and implementation. -
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.
