Book (stand-alone)GuidelinePreparación de las estrategias nacionales y los planes de acción sobre los recursos zoogenéticos
Directrices FAO: Producción y sanidad animal. No. 2
2009El Plan de acción mundial sobre los recursos zoogenéticos, aprobado en 2007, es el primer marco acordado internacionalmente para la ordenación de la diversidad en el sector pecuario. Las directrices para la Preparación de las estrategias nacionales y los planes de acción sobre los recursos zoogenéticos han sido reconocidas por la Comisión de Recursos Genéticos para la Alimentación y la Agricultura. Estas hacen parte de una serie de directrices preparadas con el fin de apoyar a los pa íses en la aplicación del Plan de acción mundial. La preparación y la aplicación de una estrategia nacional y un plan de acción permitirá que los países conviertan el Plan de acción mundial y el entorno favorable que este ha generado en un enfoque completo y eficiente para la utilización sostenible, el desarrollo y la conservación de sus recursos zoogenéticos. Potenciará además sus esfuerzos para incrementar la producción de alimentos y la seguridad alimentaria, reducir la pobreza y promover el desarrollo rural. Las directrices proporcionan un enfoque práctico para preparar una estrategia nacional y un plan de acción, informando al usuario la manera de iniciar, poner en práctica y completar el proceso de planeación, culminando con un reconocimiento gubernamental del plan. El proceso puede brindar los medios para una mejor vinculación de intereses diversos y partes interesadas dentro y fuera del sector pecuario, y coordinar asimismo el uso de los recursos humanos y financieros. Puede aumentar la comprensión que los responsables de las políticas y el público en general tienen sobre la importancia de los recursos zoogenéticos, las múltiples funciones y valores del ganado y la necesidad de mantener la diversidad genética que permitirá que el sector pecuario se adapte a los desafíos del futuro.

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.

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. -
