Fortalecimiento de la Gobernanza para la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional en Mesoamérica
2016Also available in:
No results found.De acuerdo con el Estado de la Inseguridad Alimentaria en el Mundo 2015 (FAO, FIDA, y PMA, 2015), la subregión mesoamericana ha presentado una tendencia hacia la reducción del hambre, logrando disminuir el número de personas hambrientas desde los 15,8 millones en 1990-92 a 12,7 millones de personas según el estimado inicial para 2014-2016. Si bien la subregión en su conjunto no será capaz de cumplir tanto la meta fijada en la Cumbre Mundial de la Alimentación (CMA) como la meta 1.C de los Objet ivos de Desarrollo del Milenio (ODM), debe destacarse que algunos de los países sí que han tenido avances considerables. En este contexto, la importancia de la gobernanza de la SAN surge de la necesidad de iniciar procesos efectivos de coordinación política y social en la búsqueda de objetivos de desarrollo. La gobernanza de la SAN requiere de mecanismos que operen en los diferentes niveles de decisión (local, subnacional, nacional, regional y global), y en el ámbito mesoamericano, es particul armente necesario unir los enfoque de trabajo en SAN y desarrollo rural territorial para atender la concentración de pobreza e inseguridad alimentaria que se da en los ámbitos rural y urbano-marginal. Producto de la evolución de más de diez años, Mesoamérica presenta importantes avances en materia de gobernanza de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional. Entre estos están la importante evolución en la esfera de valores y procesos de alto nivel, por la adopción del enfoque de derechos en las polí ticas nacionales; la elaboración inclusiva de los marcos normativos, de instituciones, leyes y políticas; y la creación de espacios de diálogo de amplia participación. -

Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
