Book (series)Technical reportInforme del taller sobre otras medidas eficaces de conservación basadas en áreas relacionadas con la pesca en América Latina y el Caribe, 27 y 28 de marzo de 2023 2024
Also available in:
En vista de la importancia de otras medidas eficaces de conservación basadas en área (OMEC) para la biodiversidad, y de la necesidad de mejorar la capacidad de cada país para informar sobre las OMEC relacionadas con la pesca y comprender cómo contribuye el sector pesquero a los objetivos actuales y futuros de conservación de la biodiversidad basada en zonas geográficas específicas, la FAO ha estado llevando a cabo una serie de actividades para ayudar a los países a identificar y aplicar las OMEC. Estas actividades incluyen la organización de talleres y la elaboración de orientaciones prácticas, a petición del Comité de Pesca (COFI) de la FAO. Con el apoyo de la Organización del Sector Pesquero y Acuícola del Istmo Centroamericano (OSPECA), la FAO organizó un taller sobre OMEC relacionadas con la pesca en América Latina y el Caribe. El taller se llevó a cabo los días 27 y 28 de marzo de 2023 en la ciudad de San José, Costa Rica. Este taller apoyó a los Países Miembros de la Comisión de Pesca Artesanal y de Pequeña Escala y Acuicultura de América Latina y el Caribe (COPPESAALC), así como a las organizaciones regionales y nacionales relacionadas con la pesca en las regiones de América Latina y el Caribe para:(i) aplicar los criterios del CDB para la identificación de OMEC;(ii) comprender los retos, oportunidades y necesidades que surgen en la identificación de las OMEC relacionadas con la pesca; y(iii) sintetizar las lecciones aprendidas y obtener recomendaciones.Para lograr estos objetivos, los temas discutidos incluyeron: conceptos y criterios para la identificación, evaluación y reporte de OMEC; ejemplos de OMEC en el mundo; estrategias de conservación en América Latina y la contribución potencial de las OMEC a éstas; el marco para la gobernanza pesquera y la gestión basada en áreas en América Latina; el progreso de Argentina en el reconocimiento de OMEC; y la presentación de cuatro estudios de caso realizados en Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala y México. El taller permitió amplios intercambios sobre las dificultades de interpretación de los conceptos y criterios para la identificación, evaluación y reporte de OMEC, así como los puntos clave, retos y dificultades en el análisis y consideración de potenciales OMEC.

ArticleJournal articleNurturing Soil Life through Agroforestry – The Roles of Trees in the Ecological Intensification of Agriculture 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Soil resources constitute the very foundation of agriculture, so sustainable agriculture is inherently dependent on soil health. Soil health reflects the capacity of soil to respond beneficially to agricultural management, maintaining both agricultural production and the provision of varying ecosystem services, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity conservation in the long term. Soil health depends on the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the soil that are required for plant growth and development. Ecological intensification differs from current strategies for agricultural intensification by embracing agroecological transitions to more sustainable agriculture and food systems. This chapter discusses the pivotal role that trees play in building and maintaining the soil health and functional resilience that are required for the ecological intensification of agriculture. It summarizes the current knowledge about functions and impacts of trees on soil health, and highlights the tree/soil biodiversity interactions that drive these functions. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTracking progress on food and agriculture-related SDG indicators 2025 2025The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the 2030 Agenda is now more crucial than ever, as the target date draws near and many goals are still far from being achieved. Countries across the globe are grappling with an array of complex and interconnected challenges, including ongoing conflicts, health crises, biodiversity loss, the escalating impacts of climate change, and political and economic tensions. FAO is the custodian agency for 22 SDG indicators spanning Goals 2, 5, 6, 12, 14 and 15. Among its key responsibilities as a custodian agency is to curate the indicator methodologies, collect, harmonize and compile data from countries, as well as disseminate and analyse data at global level. This report provides an analysis of regional and global figures and trends for the 22 SDG indicators under FAO's responsibility, thus fulfilling one of FAO’s key roles as custodian agency. The world is at a moderate distance from achieving roughly half of the food and agriculture-related SDG indicators under FAO custodianship; one-quarter of the indicators are close to being achieved, whereas another quarter remains far or very far from being achieved. Meanwhile, progress since 2015 has deteriorated on over three-fifths of the indicators; one indicator has stagnated; whereas only the remaining one-third of indicators have registered an improvement or slight improvement.

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.
