No results found.El estado nutricional de la población menor de seis años, bajo control en el Sistema Público de Salud es monitoreado continuamente y en 1999 dio una prevalencia nacional de retardo de crecimiento de 1,9 % y de 7,9% de sobrepeso. Las regiones X y XI presentan la mayor prevalencia de sobrepeso y las regiones VIII, X y XI la mayor prevalencia de retardo de crecimiento. En las regiones VIII y IX se encuentra la población más pobre del País (Mapa 2). -

No results found.El estado nutricional de los niños menores de 6 años atendidos en el sistema público de salud en 1995 presenta en las jurisdicciones provinciales analizadas un patrón antropométrico común, en el que los principales problemas nutricionales son el déficit de talla (5 a 20%) y el sobrepeso (5 a 16%); la prevalencia de emaciación está dentro de rangos considerados bajos (Cuadro 4a-1 y Mapa 3). Se estima que los valores encontrados estarían reflejando una adecuada prevención y/o una exitosa rehabilit ación nutricional a través del Programa de Salud Materno Infantil. Se observan sin embargo diferencias regionales y en particular el sobrepeso afecta más a los niños de Santa Cruz (16%) y de Chubut (12%) (Mapa 4). -

No results found.La situación nutricional de los niños menores de 5 años de edad permite ubicar a Venezuela en los rangos definidos al nivel internacional como bajos o aceptables, en 1999 con 4.7% de bajo peso, 13.6% de retardo de crecimiento y 3% de emaciación. En el periodo 1990-1999 (Figura 6), se nota que en peso para la talla, hubo una disminución de las prevalencias hasta 1993 y después una estabilización, en cambio para los indicadores peso para la edad y talla para la edad, entre 1993-97 muestran un lige ro incremento. Las prevalencias de sobrepeso siguen una progresión inversa: incremento hasta 1993-94 y estabilización (2,9-3%) a partir de 1994. Esto indica que mientras que la emaciación y el sobrepeso apuntan hacia un proceso de homeorrexis, el retardo de crecimiento, aunque marginal, debe ser monitoreado. Las áreas más afectadas por la malnutrición crónica (Mapa 4) y aguda (Mapa 5) son en general las más pobres (Mapa 2) y menos densamente pobladas (Mapa 1): Delta Amacuro (30%), Amazonas (24%) , seguidas de cerca por Apure (18%), y Bolívar (17%). Estos datos han sido obtenidos del Sistema de Vigilancia Alimentaria y Nutricional o SISVAN (una red de monitoreo nutricional de todo el País operativa a nivel de los centros de salud locales) por medio del cual se colectan regularmente importantes cantidades de datos que permiten mostrar tendencias generales y identificar a las áreas vulnerables

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.
