Journal, magazine, bulletinOther documentInforme de sintesis del Diálogo entre múltiples partes interesadas sobre la integración de la biodiversidad en los distintos sectores agrícolas
Roma, 29-31 de mayo 2018 - Sede de la FAO
2019Esta publicación es el informe final del Diálogo de múltiples partes interesadas sobre la integración de la biodiversidad en el sector agrícola, que se celebró en Roma del 29 al 31 de mayo de 2018. El dialogo en cuestión representa un primer paso en el ámbito del compromiso de la FAO en servir como plataforma para la integración de la biodiversidad organizada por la Decimotercera Reunión de la Conferencia de las Partes en el cuadro del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica (CDB). Esta decisión ha sido confirmada por la Conferencia de la FAO. En vista de lo último, la Conferencia de la CDN solicitó a la organización de las Naciones Unidas FAO que pudiera facilitar la integración de las actividades de conservación, uso sostenible, manejo y restauración de la diversidad biológica en todos los sectores agrícolas a nivel nacional, regional e internacional. de manera estructurada y coherente y en estrecha colaboración con asociados tal y como el CDB y otras organizaciones de las Naciones Unidas. El diálogo reunió a ministros, expertos e interesados del campo de la agricultura, la pesca, la silvicultura y el medio ambiente. También ha proporcionado una perspectiva holística y sistémica sobre el estado de los esfuerzos y experiencias de integración de la biodiversidad en diferentes niveles, creando así una oportunidad para discutir áreas clave y estrategias viables para la FAO y servirá también como plataforma para la integración de la biodiversidad en apoyo a la integración de esta última y entre los sectores agrícolas en múltiples niveles. El diálogo incluyó un segmento de alto nivel que brindó una oportunidad única para que los ministros de los sectores agrícola y ambiental compartieran ejemplos, planes y políticas nacionales de integración de la biodiversidad. El resumen de este informe está también disponible en español y francés. -

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -
Book (series)YearbookWorld Food and Agriculture – Statistical Yearbook 2024 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Statistical Yearbook 2024 offers a synthesis of the major factors at play in the global food and agricultural landscape. Statistics are presented in four thematic chapters, covering the economic importance of agricultural activities, inputs, outputs and factors of production, their implications for food security and nutrition and their impacts on the environment. The Yearbook is meant to constitute a primary tool for policymakers, researchers and analysts, as well as the general public interested in the past, present and future path of food and agriculture. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookStandard operating procedure for soil enzyme activities
β-glucosidases, arylsulfatase, N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, dehydrogenase, phosphomonoesterases
2025Also available in:
No results found.This standard operating procedure (SOP) has been harmonized by the joint working group of the FAO's Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) and the International Network on Soil Biodiversity (NETSOB). The protocol focuses on the determination of five soil enzyme activities: β-Glucosidases, Arylsulfatase, N-acetyl-β-Glucosaminidase, Dehydrogenase, and Phosphomonoesterases. After a general introduction on the importance of soil enzyme as key indicator for soil health and few remarks on the sampling strategies, the determination of each enzyme is presented separately with step-by-step instructions.
