Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideManual del facilitador: Escuela de campo para producción de semilla de quinua 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Este manual está enfocado a la producción de semillas de calidad en la región alto andina, busca potenciar a través de la gestión del conocimiento y del trabajo en equipo, la agricultura familiar como eje del desarrollo local sostenible. Las Escuelas de campo para agricultores (ECA) son esencialmente escuelas sin paredes, con una metodología pedagógica fundamentada en la educación no formal, que introducen innovaciones tecnológicas al tiempo que aprovechan los conocimientos autóctonos. En las E CA, los agricultores son los expertos. Fueron desarrolladas por la FAO a inicios de los años 90, en respuesta a la crisis de producción de alimentos en países asiáticos como consecuencia del uso irracional de plaguicidas. Como resultado de su impacto en el manejo adecuado de los recursos locales, la ECA se difundió a casi todos los países en desarrollo, replicándose y/o adaptándose a cada realidad y diversidad de temas. This handbook is focused on the production of quality seeds in the hig h Andean region, seeks to empower through knowledge management and teamwork, family farming being at the heart of sustainable local development. The Farmer Field Schools (FFS) are mainly schools without walls, with a teaching methodology based on non-formal education, introducing new technology while benefiting from indigenous knowledge. In the FFS, farmers are the experts. The Farmer Field Schools were developed by FAO in the early 90s, in response to the crisis in food production in Asian c ountries, as a result of irrational use of pesticides. Due to its impact on the adequate management of local resources, the FFS spread in almost all developing countries, being replicated and/or adapted to each situation and variety of issues.

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.
