estudio de derecho comparado
1986Este estudio quiere ser una contribución útil para el conocimiento de las diversas medidas de estímulo económico, a fin de que tal conocimiento permita la mejor utilización de las mismas en orden a favorecer un desarrollo agrícola equilibrado y sano, respetuoso del medio ambiente natural dentro del cual el desarrollo se inscribe. Se trata de un estudio de derecho comparado destinado a los juristas y, por consiguiente, no tiene en absoluto la pretensión de profundizar las investigaciones de la cienca económica. En razón del interés que debería suscitar, este estudio se propone reactivar un campo de investigación de capital interés para juristas, planificadores agrícolas y especialistas del desarrollo en general. -
DocumentOther documentConocimiento local de la cobertura arbórea en sistemas de producción ganadera en dos localidades de Costa Rica 2003
Also available in:
Se recopiló el conocimiento de los ganaderos de Cañas y Río Frío (Costa Rica) acerca de la cobertura arbórea, sus especies y usos para comparar el acervo de conocimiento que poseen diferentes tipos de productores en zonas geográficas distintas. Los productores de ambas zonas conocen muy bien las especies arbóreas que utilizan, ya sea como madera, cercas vivas, leña, forrajes o sombra. Este conocimiento les permite usar y clasificar las especies de acuerdo con características física s, biológicas y funcionales que empíricamente reconocen en ellas. No hubo diferencias entre localidades ni entre grupos de productores (ganaderos y mixtos) en cuanto al conocimiento sobre la cobertura arbórea y sus interacciones con el suelo, agua, pastos y animales. Los resultados sugieren que, a pesar de las diferencias geográficas, en ambos sitios la visión y percepción de la cobertura arbórea es amplia y similar.

Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
