Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRestauración de los bosques húmedos tropicales de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela
Manual técnico
2022Also available in:
No results found.Este manual es una síntesis conceptual y metodológica tomando en cuenta diversas experiencias desarrolladas particularmente en los países integrantes del Tratado de Cooperación Amazónica, así como, en otros países donde se ejecutan acciones de restauración de los ecosistemas tropicales. Se espera que en el marco de un Plan estratégico nacional, regional y local, sea utilizada esta herramienta para prevenir, desacelerar, revertir la deforestación y degradación de este ecosistema en el corto, mediano y largo plazo. Por medio de su difusión se pretende orientar los procesos de planificación nacional y local de los proyectos de restauración del bosque húmedo tropical venezolano. -

No results found.Veintiséis de los 33 países de América Latina y el Caribe han formulado programas forestales nacionales (pfn) bajo varios nombres y modalidades, catorce de los cuales han sido promulgados o ajustados en los últimos cinco años. Los pfn han ayudado a los países a contar con propuestas sistemáticas para el desarrollo de políticas y programas forestales y han fomentado una gran participación de los diferentes actores en la toma de decisiones sobre los bosques.

BookletCorporate general interestIncreasing the resilience of agriculture livelihoods to threats and crises 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Due to the growing world population, it is estimated that global food production will need to increase by 60 percent to feed over 9.5 billion people by 2050. Worldwide, the livelihood of 2.5 billion people depend on agriculture. These small-scale farmers, herders, fishers and forest-dependent communities generate more than half of the global agricultural production and are particularly at risk from disasters that destroy or damage harvests, equipment, supplies, livestock, seeds, crops and stored food. Disasters and crises don’t just have immediate, short-term effects – they undermine livelihoods and national development gains that have taken years to build. As the agnitude and impact of crises and disasters increases – aggravated by the overexploitation of natural resources – more and more households, communities and governments of developing countries are less able to absorb, recover and adapt, making them more vulnerable to future shocks. -
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)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
