Book (series)Technical reportInforme de la Consulta de Expertos Noruega-FAO sobre la Ordenación de Poblaciones de Peces Compartidas. Bergen, Noruega, 7 – 10 de octubre de 2002. 2002La Consulta de Expertos Noruega-FAO se celebró en reconocimiento del hecho de que la ordenación de los recursos pesqueros compartidos constituye uno de los grandes retos que se plantean en la tarea de lograr una pesca sostenible a largo plazo. La Consulta de Expertos examinó, en particular, la ordenación de las poblaciones de peces transfronterizas y transzonales. La Consulta de Expertos abordó directamente los problemas prácticos planteados por la ordenación de dichos recursos en el marco de la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Derecho del Mar, el Acuerdo de las Naciones Unidas sobre las poblaciones de peces y otros instrumentos internacionales aplicables. Como tal, la Consulta no tenía por objetivo recomendar soluciones, sino más bien servir de foro neutral en que pudieran examinarse con espíritu constructivo posibles opciones y sus repercusiones para la ordenación.

Book (series)Technical studyOrdenación pesquera basada en áreas y avances hacia el reconocimiento y notificación de otras medidas eficaces de conservación basadas en áreas en América Latina y el Caribe 2024
Also available in:
No results found.El Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica reconoce la importancia de los sistemas de áreas protegidas y otras medidas de conservación basadas en áreas para alcanzar las metas globales de conservación acordadas en el Marco Mundial de Biodiversidad de Kunming-Montreal. La Meta 3 establece que, para 2030, al menos un 30 % de las zonas terrestres, de aguas continentales y costeras, y marinas deben ser gestionadas a través de estos sistemas. Como firmantes del Convenio, los países miembros de la Comisión de Pesca en Pequeña Escala, Artesanal y Acuicultura para América Latina y el Caribe están estableciendo medidas de ordenación basadas en áreas para cumplir estos objetivos. En este estudio se proporciona una visión actual sobre los mecanismos de gestión por áreas relacionados con la pesca marina en los países miembros de la Comisión, explorando su progreso en el reconocimiento y la notificación de otras medidas de conservación basadas en áreas. Además, se revisan los mecanismos de conservación de la biodiversidad y el uso sostenible de los recursos pesqueros en la región, presentando el estado actual de la notificación de estas medidas y evaluando las instituciones y la legislación pertinentes. Por último, se identifican áreas de pesca artesanal y zonas gestionadas por Pueblos Indígenas y comunidades locales como candidatas para iniciar procesos de identificación y evaluación de posibles medidas de conservación. También se proponen recomendaciones para facilitar estos procesos en el futuro.

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. -
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 (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia.
