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 (stand-alone)Corporate general interestOECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2016-2025
Special focus: Sub-Saharan Africa
2016The twelfth joint edition of the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook provides market projections to 2025 for major agricultural commodities, biofuels and fish. The 2016 report contains a special feature on the prospects for, and challenges facing, Sub-Saharan Africa.Over the ten year Outlook period slowing demand growth will be matched by efficiency gains in production, implying relatively flat real agricultural prices. However, market and policy uncertainties imply a risk of resurgent volatility. The outlook for agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa is for rising food availability, which will support a declining incidence of undernourishment. The sector’s prospects could be much improved by more stable policies across the region, by strategic public and private investments, notably in infrastructure, and by suitably adapted research and extension.

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookLa contaminación del suelo: una realidad oculta 2018Este documento presenta los mensajes clave y el estado actual de la contaminación del suelo, así como sus implicaciones para la seguridad alimentaria y la salud humana. Su objetivo es sentar las bases para un nuevo debate durante el próximo Simposio Mundial sobre la Contaminación del Suelo (GSOP18), que se celebrará en la sede de la FAO del 2 al 4 de mayo de 2018. La publicación ha sido revisada por el Grupo Técnico Intergubernamental sobre el Suelo (GTIS) y por autores colaboradores. Aborda las evidencias científicas sobre la contaminación del suelo y destaca la necesidad de evaluar el alcance de la contaminación del suelo a nivel mundial a fin de lograr la seguridad alimentaria y el desarrollo sostenible. Esto está relacionado con los objetivos estratégicos de la FAO, especialmente el SO1, el SO2, el SO4 y el SO5, debido al papel crucial que desempeñan los suelos para garantizar un ciclo eficaz de nutrientes que permita producir alimentos nutritivos e inocuos, reducir las concentraciones de CO2 y N2O en la atmósfera y, por lo tanto, mitigar el cambio climático, desarrollar prácticas sostenibles de gestión del suelo que aumenten la resiliencia de la agricultura a los fenómenos climáticos extremos mediante la reducción de los procesos de degradación del suelo.
