No results found.ste boletin da a conocer los resultados de la Reunión-Taller sobre Reciclaje de Materias Orgánicas para la Agricultura realizada en San José, Costa Rica, entre el 7 y el 17 de julio de 1980. Está Reunión-Taller fue auspiciada por la FAO, en virtud del Programa Cooperativo FAO/Gobiernos y contó con el apoyo financiero de la SIDA (Organización Sueca para el Desarrollo Internacional) y la valiosa colaboración del Gobierno de Costa Rica, que fue el país hospedante. La FAO asigna gran impor tancia al tema del reciclaje de materias orgánicas en la agricultura. En un contexto de crisis de los recursos energéticos tradicionales, los residuos orgánicos, a través del reciclaje, constituyen una fuente alternativa renovable de energía. Por otra parte, frente al alza de los precios de los fertilizantes químicos, el uso de las materias orgánicas como fuente de mejoramiento de la productividad de las tierras adquiere una gran importancia. Es necesario, por lo tanto, contribuir a ca mbiar el concepto según el cual los desechos y residuos orgánicos son una carga que debe ser eliminada y promover, en cambio, una concepción que considere estos subproductos como un recurso valioso que pueden ser aprovechados en la agricultura de muchas maneras mediante el reciclaje. En este sentido, el objetivo de la Reunión-Taller fue el de intensificar el interés en el reciclaje de materias orgánicas en América Latina y el de ayudar a los países participantes a formular programas de acción encaminados al aprovechamiento racional de este recurso -

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. -
Journal, magazine, bulletinBulletinMeat Market Review. Overview of global market developments in 2024 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The April 2025 issue of the publication summarizes the salient trends and drivers of market developments and significant public policy changes in 2024. The review shows that world meat production expanded in 2024, underpinned by increased slaughter and improved profitability. The review also illustrates that international trade in meat products rebounded in 2024, supported by easing inflationary pressures and stronger consumer purchasing power in many parts of the world, along with supply constraints in major importing countries. These factors contributed to firm international demand, driving a steady increase in global meat prices.
