Book (series)FlagshipEl estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación 2017
Aprovechar los sistemas alimentarios para lograr una transformación rural inclusiva
2017Uno de los mayores desafíos de la actualidad es poner fin al hambre y la pobreza al tiempo que se promueven sistemas agrícolas y alimentarios sostenibles. Se trata de un reto de enormes proporciones debido al constante crecimiento de la población, a los profundos cambios en la demanda de alimentos y a la amenaza de la migración masiva de jóvenes del medio rural en busca de una vida mejor. En este informe se presentan estrategias con las que es posible aprovechar el potencial de los sistemas alimentarios para que impulsen un desarrollo económico inclusivo y la prosperidad rural en los países de ingresos bajos. Se analizan las transformaciones estructurales y rurales que se están produciendo, las oportunidades que ofrecen y las dificultades que plantean a millones de pequeños productores de alimentos. Asimismo, se muestra la manera en que un enfoque de planificación “agroterritorial”, centrado en conectar ciudades y pueblos con las zonas rurales circundantes, combinado con el desarrollo agroindustrial y de la infraestructura, puede generar oportunidades de ingresos en todo el sector alimentario y respaldar la transformación rural sostenible e inclusiva. -

DocumentFlagshipResumen – El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación 2016 (SOFA)
Cambio climático, agricultura y seguridad alimentaria
2016Este folleto resume la información principal y conclusiones del Estado de Alimentación y la Agricultura (SOFA) 2016 informe.
Si no se toman con urgencia medidas para que la agricultura aumente su sostenibilidad, productividad y resiliencia, los efectos del cambio climático comprometerán seriamente la producción de alimentos en los países y las regiones que ya sufren una gran inseguridad alimentaria. El Acuerdo de París, adoptado e n diciembre de 2015, representa un nuevo principio en el esfuerzo mundial por estabilizar el clima antes de que sea demasiado tarde. En él se reconoce la importancia de la seguridad alimentaria en la respuesta internacional al cambio climático, como queda reflejado en el hecho de que muchos países sitúen en un lugar destacado el sector de la agricultura en sus contribuciones previstas para la adaptación y la mitigación. Para ayudar a poner en práctica tales planes, en este informe se señalan las estrategias, las oportunidades de financiación y las necesidades de datos e información correspondientes. También se describen las políticas y las instituciones transformadoras que pueden superar los obstáculos para su realización.

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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition.
