BookletCorporate general interestEl camino hacia la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional en Panamá 2023
Also available in:
No results found.En Panamá, la labor del programa Mesoamérica sin Hambre AMEXCID-FAO se ha enfocado en dos vías de acción: el fortalecimiento de la institucionalidad como elemento clave para el diseño y la implementación de políticas públicas que contribuyan a garantizar la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, así como el fortalecimiento de la agricultura familiar como un sector fundamental para el desarrollo local y la producción de alimentos saludables. En esta publicación se presentan los principales resultados alcanzados en estas dos vías de acción durante el período 2015-2022. Además de hacer un recuento de los principales resultados alcanzados, se enumeran algunas de las lecciones extraídas de la implementación del programa en el país y se presentan algunas reflexiones sobre las acciones a futuro para seguir avanzando en la garantía del derecho a una alimentación adecuada y en el fortalecimiento de la agricultura familiar como un actor estratégico en la lucha contra el hambre. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookConceptualización, caracterización y registro de la agricultura familiar 2017
Also available in:
No results found.En Centroamérica todavía existen distintas visiones del significado de la agricultura familiar, permaneciendo la asociación del concepto de AF a familias con escasos recursos y beneficiarios de programas sociales o de subsistencia únicamente. Para que en Centroamérica se produzca un cambio de esta percepción es sumamente importante que cada país desarrolle su propio concepto atendiendo a sus especificidades nacionales y que se reconozca la Agricultura Familiar a nivel de bloque del Sistema de Integración Centroamericano. En este sentido, la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO) apoya técnica y financieramente a los países centroamericanos, en alianza con la Cooperación Brasileña – Ministerio de Desarrollo Agrario/ABC y la Agencia Mexicana de Cooperación (AMEXCID) a través del Programa Mesoamérica sin Hambre, en sus definiciones y reconocimiento de la Agricultura Familiar, y en el diseño de Planes con políticas públicas específicas para el f ortalecimiento de la agricultura familiar, en la lucha contra el hambre y la pobreza. Esta guía metodológica está dirigida a aquellos países interesados en conceptualizar y caracterizar la agricultura familiar, ofreciendo las pautas y herramientas seguidas por Panamá en su proceso nacional, con base en la adecuación de la metodología contratada por la FAO y desarrollada por el consultor Ing. Agr. Fernando Sganga titulada “Propuesta de definición y caracterización de la Agricultura Familiar en E cuador” y el proceso seguido en El Salvador. -

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 (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
