Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureHidden dangers from pesticides and obsolete pesticides in Tajikistan 2022
Also available in:
This leaflet is developed to inform affected and vulnerable communities who live nearby a mini-landfill in Tajikistan about how they can minimize the negative impacts of mini-landfills. Mini-landfills contain obsolete pesticides inherited from Former Soviet Union. These hazardous chemicals are often stored in deteriorated containers or buried in those mini-landfills, where leakages contaminate the soil and water and pose a high risk for human health and the environment. -

Book (series)Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project "Disposal of obsolete pesticides including persistent organic pesticides, promotion of alternatives and strengthening pesticides management in the Caribbean"
Project code: GCP/SLC/204/GFF - GEF ID: 5407
2021Also available in:
No results found.Caribbean nations, in particular SIDS, have been traditionally vulnerable to the entry of potentially harmful, unregistered and unregulated pesticides. In many of these countries, the legislation and regulations for managing pesticides are fragmented and at various stages of development. Under the overall objective to promote sound management of pesticides in the Caribbean, the project kick-started various activities covering pesticide life-cycle management in the region, drafted a regional model pesticide legislation and facilitated different vital elements. It specifically contributed to the collection and shipment of obsolete pesticides (319 tonnes) from all 11 project countries and polychlorinated biphenyls (54 tonnes) from four countries. However, it has not been able to successfully replicate, scale up nationally and build capacities with government stakeholders evenly across all countries. Further follow-up and support are required to ensure sustainability and impact in the region and the project countries and thus the engagement of the private sector and civil society organizations will be critical. -

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookLa contaminación del suelo: una realidad oculta 2018Este documento presenta los mensajes clave y el estado actual de la contaminación del suelo, así como sus implicaciones para la seguridad alimentaria y la salud humana. Su objetivo es sentar las bases para un nuevo debate durante el próximo Simposio Mundial sobre la Contaminación del Suelo (GSOP18), que se celebrará en la sede de la FAO del 2 al 4 de mayo de 2018. La publicación ha sido revisada por el Grupo Técnico Intergubernamental sobre el Suelo (GTIS) y por autores colaboradores. Aborda las evidencias científicas sobre la contaminación del suelo y destaca la necesidad de evaluar el alcance de la contaminación del suelo a nivel mundial a fin de lograr la seguridad alimentaria y el desarrollo sostenible. Esto está relacionado con los objetivos estratégicos de la FAO, especialmente el SO1, el SO2, el SO4 y el SO5, debido al papel crucial que desempeñan los suelos para garantizar un ciclo eficaz de nutrientes que permita producir alimentos nutritivos e inocuos, reducir las concentraciones de CO2 y N2O en la atmósfera y, por lo tanto, mitigar el cambio climático, desarrollar prácticas sostenibles de gestión del suelo que aumenten la resiliencia de la agricultura a los fenómenos climáticos extremos mediante la reducción de los procesos de degradación del suelo.

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. -
