    Los países de América Latina contienen valiosos recursos forestales, los que contribuyen en forma vital al desarrollo y bienestar de la sociedad, ya sea desde el punto de vista ecológico (fuente de diversidad biológica, protección de cuencas hidrográficas, acogida de vida silvestre), como desde el punto de vista socioeconómico (generación de ingresos a través del empleo, cubriendo necesidades básicas de las comunidades rurales como pueden ser la alimentación, combustible y medicinas) los q ue constituyen importantes insumos del proceso industrial primario y secundario. La disponibilidad de la información sobre bosques y recursos forestales, constituye una condición indispensable para el manejo forestal sostenible, y en general para el desarrollo forestal, basado en políticas claras y contrapesadas desde el punto de vista económico, ambiental y social. La cobertura y calidad actual de la información forestal no son lo suficientemente buena como para alimentar los procesos de toma de decisiones. La FAO con apoyo de la Comisión Europea, ha desarrollado el proyecto "Información y Análisis para el Manejo Forestal Sostenible: Integrando Esfuerzos Nacionales e Internacionales en 13 Países Tropicales en América Latina", iniciado en abril del 2000, con el fin de abordar el tema de la información forestal a partir de una visión de reforzamiento de las capacidades institucionales de recolección, procesamiento, análisis y difusión de la información en los países qu e participan. Para el cumplimiento de lo anterior y como un paso inicial, se decidió organizar este Taller como el quinto de una serie que están contemplados en el Proyecto.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In 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.
