Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLogistics in the horticulture supply chain in Latin America and the Caribbean
Regional report based on five country assessments and findings from regional workshops
2015Also available in:
No results found.Today, logistics systems and management are considered key for the growth of the perishable food sector, and particularly for those supply chains that involve smallholders. However, there is limited information on the state of logistics systems for food products in most non-industrialized countries. The present report seeks to help fill this gap by providing information on logistics in the produce subsector of five countries in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region. The methodology used t o develop the report includes: (i) country appraisals, with fieldwork and desk study; (ii) an expert meeting to discuss findings in the appraisals; (iii) a symposium with experts from the Caribbean subregion; and (iv) subsequent integration of all findings, with background information and an overall analysis. The document describes the general principles used to determine the performance of logistics systems and highlights key limitations of logistics in produce supply chains. Identified challen ges are described, taking into consideration supply chains with involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A subsequent discussion reveals logistics failures and recommends priorities for action depending on the scenario in each country. -
Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluación de resultados y lecciones aprendidas del "Programa Mesoamérica sin Hambre: Marcos institucionales más efectivos para mejorar la agricultura familiar y la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional”
Código de programa: GCP/SLM/001/MEX
2022Also available in:
No results found.El Programa Mesoamérica Sin Hambre (MSH) es una iniciativa de cooperación regional, con un presupuesto total de 15 millones de dólares y un ciclo de duración de ocho años (2015-2022), financiada por la Agencia Mexicana de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AMEXCID) y ejecutada por la FAO en nueve países de Mesoamérica: Belice, Costa Rica, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panamá y República Dominicana. El Programa ha logrado alcanzar los dos resultados planificados, con distintos niveles de avances en los países participantes. En particular todos los países disponen de un marco habilitante inicial para mejorar el apoyo del Estado a los productores de la agricultura familiar y a la seguridad alimentaria nutricional y se han fortalecido capacidades de instituciones sectoriales y de gobiernos locales para la gestión de servicios de apoyo a la seguridad alimentaria y la agricultura familiar. La evaluación identifica numerosas experiencias con potenciales de aprendizaje, entre las cuales destacan la complementariedad con otras intervenciones de FAO y de otros cooperantes, el modelaje regional de instrumentos de política sectorial, experiencias de CSS-Triangular entre los países participantes. La evaluación recomienda la continuidad del apoyo financiero para la implementación de una siguiente fase del programa MSH para el período 2023-2028 dando particular atención al diseño de instrumentos para incrementar la sostenibilidad de las capacidades institucionales y la elaboración de modelo conceptual de intervención que considere todos los factores causales del problema y su interacción.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (series)Evaluation reportMid-term evaluation of the project "Upscaling climate resilience measures in the dry corridor agroecosystems of El Salvador (RECLIMA)
Project code: GCP/ELS/017/GCF
2023Also available in:
The evaluation found that RECLIMA continues to be strategically aligned to national priorities and responds to the adaptation and resilience needs of producers. However, some systemic limits to achieving the desired paradigm shift were identified due to the multi-causal complexity of the target populations’ vulnerability. The project made significant progress in operationalizing farmer field schools. The evaluation identified some challenges in areas of institutional coordination and communication with national partners, along with the need to continue strengthening the capacities of the various actors involved in project implementation. The project’s monitoring and evaluation system was found to generate information that is being used for timely decision-making. However, key challenges identified include addressing the increased information flow anticipated in the second half of the project, making relevant information more readily available to implementing partners, and including a specific monitoring and follow-up plan for restoration actions. The project took the necessary steps to comply with GCF and FAO social and environmental standards. -
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.
