Book (stand-alone)Technical studyLas normas sociales y ambientales, la certificación y el etiquetado de cultivos comerciales 2004En la agricultura de los últimos veinte años han aparecido a nivel mundial un número importante de normas sociales y ambientales voluntarias, así como de programas de certificación. La mayoría de las normas sociales y ambientales han sido desarrolladas por organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG), como el sistema del comercio justo, la norma SA8000 sobre responsabilidad social y el ‘Programa para la Agricultura Sostenible’ de SAN/Rainforest Alliance. Muchos programas han sido impulsados directamente por el sector privado, tales como el Sistema Armonizado COLEACP o el EurepGap. Los gobiernos también han participado o se han ido involucrando en algunos de ellos, sobre todo en aquellos relacionados con la agricultura orgánica y el etiquetado.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureBuenas prácticas agrícolas para bananos 2017Las Buenas Prácticas Agrícolas (BPA) son “prácticas orientadas a la sostenibilidad ambiental, económica y social para los procesos productivos de la explotación agrícola que garantizan la calidad e inocuidad de los alimentos y de los productos no alimenticios”. Las BPA son particularmente importantes en la industria del banano, no sólo para la sostenibilidad de la producción y minimización del impacto ambiental, sino también para asegurar que las actividades de cosecha, empacado y transporte se lleven a cabo en condiciones higiénicas para ofrecer fruta inocua y de buena calidad a los consumidores. Por otra parte, ciertas actividades realizadas en el sector conllevan importantes riesgos para los trabajadores y éstas deben abordarse para asegurar una producción de banano segura y eficiente.

Along with rising consumer demand has come greater awareness of food safety issues and increased need for convenience and quality. Selection of high quality horticultural produce for processing and implementation of good practices during processing operations are required to assure both the quality of the produce and the safety of the final product. This technical guide reviews, from a theoretical and practical perspective, the critical issues that must be addressed for fresh-cut produce to meet consumer demand for convenience, quality and safety. A case study on fresh-cut processing in Thailand is included.

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. -
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.
