Informe y documentos del Simposio de la FAO celebrado en Ginebra el 23 - 24 de septiembre de 1999 Vol. I - Cuestiones y Opciones
2000En virtud de su mandato de prestar asistencia a los países miembros para las actividades complementarias de la Ronda Uruguay y las futuras negociaciones sobre la agricultura, la FAO ha desplegado una amplia gama de iniciativas destinadas a mejorar la capacidad, particularmente de los países en desarrollo, de analizar las consecuencias de los Acuerdos de la Ronda Uruguay para el sector agropecuario, efectuar los ajustes correspondientes al nuevo entorno comercial con el fin de poder sacar provech o de las oportunidades de comercialización, y participar eficazmente en las futuras negociaciones comerciales multilaterales. El Plan de Acción de la Cumbre Mundial sobre la Alimentación de 1996 compromete a la FAO a continuar prestando asistencia a los países en desarrollo en las cuestiones referentes al comercio y en particular -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical bookFuturo de los Acuerdos Comerciales Preferenciales para los Países en Desarrollo y la Actual Ronda de Negociaciones de la OMC sobre la Agricultura 2002Las preferencias comerciales en favor de los países en desarrollo han sido una característica de las políticas comerciales de los países industrializados durante casi 40 años, pero con la liberalización global del comercio las preferencias arancelarias han ido perdiendo gradualmente su importancia, aunque en la agricultura pueden seguir siendo valiosas porque los aranceles NMF son sumamente altos en muchos casos, aunque también en proceso de disminución. Con todo, dado el carácter ‘sensible’ de sus políticas agrarias, los países desarrollados han sido por lo general reacios a conceder preferencias profundas para los productos agropecuarios. Al mismo tiempo, algunos regímenes preferenciales especiales han hecho concesiones significativas para determinados productos agrícolas de grupos limitados de países en desarrollo, como en el caso concreto de las preferencias que la UE concede a las importaciones de azúcar procedente de determinados países ACP. De ahí que cuando se llega al trato pr eferente concedido a las exportaciones agrícolas de los países en desarrollo el panorama es muy diverso.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)Corporate general interestUltra-processed foods, diet quality and human health 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The significance of industrial processing for the nature of food and the state of human health - and in particular the techniques and ingredients developed by modern food science and technology - is generally underestimated. This is evident in both national and international policies and strategies designed to improve populations' nutrition and health. Until recently it has also been neglected in epidemiological and experimental studies concerning diet, nutrition and health. This report seeks to assess the impact of ultra-processed food on diet quality and health, based on NOVA, a food classification system developed by researchers at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. -

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
