DocumentFactsheetFortaleciendo la Gobernabilidad del Agua en Unidades de Riego de Guatemala - TCP GUA 3504 2018
Also available in:
El diagnóstico del uso del riego en Guatemala evidencia el poco aprovechamiento de la superficie diseñada por los regantes, por lo que los responsables de la gestión deben contribuir a la gobernanza del agua involucrando a las organizaciones de regantes y técnicos. El proyecto a través del fortalecimiento de capacidades para la gobernabilidad del agua está enfocado en el aumento y mejora del suministro de los bienes y servicios procedentes de la agricultura, de la actividad forestal y la pesca. -

No results found.En los últimos veinte años la importancia del comerciointrarregional y en particular el agroalimentario deAmérica Central ha crecido exponencialmente. La regióncentroamericana actualmente cuenta con una RRMconformada por los SIMA, miembros del SICApertenecientes a la OIMA, que incluye también a Méxicoy Haití. La RRM aborda temas críticos como: i) la situaciónde los precios de mercados de granos básicos y frutas yhortalizas en el ámbito regional; ii) la situación de abastosregional; iii) perspectivas de cosecha, y iv) comercio.Hasta agosto del 2015 la RRM no contaba con unmandato institucional, el cual fue aprobado finalmentepor el Consejo de Ministros, quien solicitó a la SECACsu institucionalización y posteriormente el apoyo técnicoy financiero a la FAO para finalizar su consolidación.Este apoyo consistió principalmente en el establecimientode la plataforma informática SIMMAGRO y en lacapacitación para la gestión de la misma en cada unode los países, así como la creación de herramientas deanálisis y difusión de precios basadas en la Web quele permitieran a la RRM crear diversos reportes analíticosde forma eficiente y automatizada. -
ProjectFactsheetSistemas Productivos de Café Sostenibles Mediante Fortalecimiento del Sistema Nacional de Extensión en Guatemala - TCP/GUA/3603 2019
Also available in:
No results found.La llegada de plagas y enfermedades a los cultivos deCentroamérica en la década de los setenta del siglo anterior trajoconsigo numerosos problemas que afectaron, en años sucesivos,a pequeños productores de café de Guatemala. Los bajos precios,los altos costos de producción, la pérdida de empleo yla consiguiente emigración, fueron ejemplos de trabas que sedieron debido al escaso apoyo a la capacitación y asistenciatécnico-financiera para un adecuado manejo del cultivo eincremento de la productividad. El principal objetivo del proyectoha sido incrementar la resiliencia de las familias caficultoras apequeña escala, ante las amenazas climáticas y hacer dela caficultura un medio de vida sostenible.

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)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
