Periodo preparatorio para el 37.º período de sesiones de la Conferencia Regional de la FAO para América Latina y el Caribe
2021Also available in:
Siguiendo las orientaciones del Director General de la FAO, Dr. QU Dongyu, se propone una Conferencia dinámica, con debates con múltiples actores, orientada a encontrar soluciones políticas y prácticas de manera participativa. La Conferencia Regional será el espacio para la localización del Marco Estratégico 2022-31 de la FAO, y dará la posibilidad a los Estados Miembros de dialogar sobre su implementación. Como parte de este proceso, la Oficina Regional de la FAO organiza una serie de consultas preparatorias para la LARC37 que se realizan de manera virtual. Estas consultas tienen como objetivo compartir las propuestas del programa de trabajo de la FAO en la región para el próximo bienio, y escuchar comentarios y sugerencias para enriquecer el documento de programa que está en desarrollo. La propuesta de FAO es en relación a las Iniciativas Regionales, identificadas como temas de particular relevancia en la Conferencia Regional anterior, y desarrollados a partir de consultas e insumos recogidos desde los Estados Miembros y socios de la FAO. Están además alineadas con el nuevo Marco Estratégico de la FAO, y toman en consideración el presente estado de la pandemia, en el corto plazo, y la necesidad de transformación de los sistemas agroalimentarios, en el mediano a largo plazo, de acuerdo con los contextos, prioridades y capacidades nacionales. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -
