DocumentGuidelineHacia la elaboración de directrices sobre una bioeconomía sostenible - GCP/GLO/724/GER 2017La bioeconomíaabarca las partes de la economía que utilizan recursos biológicos renovables (plantas, animales, microorganismos, etc.) con el fin de reemplazar los combustibles fósiles y producir alimentos, piensos animales y otros productos biológicos. Su carácter transversal ofrece una oportunidad única para abordar ampliamente problemas sociales conectados entre sí, como la seguridad alimentaria, la escasez de recursos naturales, la dependencia de los recursos fósiles y el cambio climático, lo grando al mismo tiempo un desarrollo económico sostenible. Dado que la bioeconomíadesempeña una función cada vez más importante en numerosos países y regiones, es fundamental establecer unas directrices que permitan que se desarrolle de una manera sostenible.

DocumentFactsheetFortalecimiento de la seguridad alimentaria en Sierra Leona - GCP/SIL/042/GER 2017En vista de la situación extremadamente precaria en materia de seguridad alimentaria y nutricional a la que se enfrenta Sierra Leona, el proyecto sirvió de respuesta a la preocupación generalizada sobre la desnutrición. Habida cuenta de la gran dependencia de la economía nacional de la agricultura, y de que las mujeres y los jóvenes quedan atrapados en una pobreza perpetua debido a las persistentes normas de exclusión social, en el país se percibía la necesidad de adoptar medidas que tuvieran en cuenta la nutrición. Dado que la nutrición no recibe una consideración suficiente en la agricultura, la finalidad del proyecto era orientar al país hacia el logro de dos objetivos, por un lado, la creación de riqueza, y por otro, la mejora de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional.

DocumentFactsheetMejora de la gobernanza de la tenencia de la tierra, la pesca y los bosques-GCP/GLO/784/GER 2017Las Directrices voluntarias sobre gobernanza responsable de la tenencia de la tierra, la pesca y los bosques en el contexto de la seguridad alimentaria nacional (en adelante las Directrices) fomentan los derechos de tenencia segura y el acceso equitativo a la tierra, la pesca y los bosques. Sus objetivos generales son alcanzar la seguridad alimentaria para todos y contribuir a la realización progresiva del derecho a una alimentación adecuada. Liberia, Mongolia y Sierra Leona figuran entre los pr imeros países que están realizando considerables progresos para aplicar las Directrices. Mantener el compromiso de los gobiernos y el impulso general en torno a las Directrices es fundamental para asegurar su internalización, así como los procesos relacionados en los programas nacionales.

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. -
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 (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.
