ProjectFactsheetRespuesta de emergencia al impacto de COVID-19 en los medios de vida rurales y el sistema alimentario - TCP/RLA/3802 2023
Also available in:
La pandemia generada por el nuevo coronavirus (COVID-19), que causa una enfermedad respiratoria, ha producido millones de casos en el ámbito mundial y un aumento exponencial de casos en América Latina y el Caribe. Las medidas sanitarias que se han tomado para contenerla están afectando directamente a los sistemas alimentarios, mediante los impactos en la oferta y la demanda de alimentos, e indirectamente mediante la disminución del poder adquisitivo, la capacidad de producir y distribuir alimentos y la intensificación de las tareas de atención. Todo ello ha generado un impacto diferenciado que afectará en mayor medida a la población pobre y vulnerable. -
ProjectFactsheetDesarrollo de sistemas alimentarios resilientes impulsando y fortaleciendo el comercio intrarregional y global - TCP/RLA/3812 2024
Also available in:
No results found.América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) es la principal región exportadora neta de alimentos del mundo, cumpliendo un importante rol en la seguridad alimentaria del mundo y de la propia región. Durante el año 2022, las exportaciones agroalimentarias de ALC representaron el 18 % de las exportaciones de productos agroalimentarios del mundo, lo que significó un porcentaje mayor en comparación con 2021, en donde la participación de ALC fue del 15 % 1 . La región durante el trienio 2020 2022 exportó el 42,15 % de los productos agroalimentarios que produce, medido en calorías equivalente, y se espera alcance 42,56 % el año 2032 2 . A pesar de la importante orientación exportadora de la región varios países son también importadores netos, como El Salvador, Panamá, y la mayor parte del Caribe, siendo el comercio intrarregional aún bajo, representando menos del 15 % de sus exportaciones y el 40 % de sus importaciones. -
NewsletterNewsletterFall Armyworm Control in Action Newsletter, June 2021 - Issue #4 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Fall Armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) is a pest originating in the Americas: it can fly over 100 km per day; it feeds on over 80 hosts; and a female moth can deposit 1 000 eggs during its life. Challenges in mitigating FAW damage include, among others, lack of the following: coordination at global, regional and national levels; effective monitoring and control techniques; and effective phytosanitary measures and capacity at national level. The Global Action for Fall Armyworm Control (GA, 2020-2022) was launched by FAO Director-General QU Dongyu on 4 December 2019 with a mandate for a strong and coordinated approach to strengthen prevention and sustainable pest control capacities. The GA focuses on Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Near East, where an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy will be implemented in countries with significant pest presence, and a prevention strategy will be conducted in areas with limited or no distribution of the pest. The GA has continued to support countries in managing FAW throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by conducting webinars and virtual trainings on FAW monitoring and management and by implementing activities where possible.

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. -
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.
