Book (series)Working paperLocal financing mechanisms for forest and landscape restoration
A review of local-level investment mechanisms
2021Also available in:
To meet global restoration needs and recover degraded forests and landscapes, adequate public and private investments are required to support restoration activities on the ground. The new FAO publication “Local financing mechanisms for forest and landscape restoration: A review of local level investment mechanisms” examines the pathways available to financing restoration for a positive local level impact. The document provides an in-depth study of how financial mechanisms can be coordinated to maximise the leverage of finance and the adoption of practices at scale across the landscape. By examining some of the accessible investment mechanisms and planning strategies, it aims to support discussions, thinking and decision-making on how to effectively find, select and use investments to provide appropriate incentives and maximize forest and landscape restoration actions. Finally, the publication underlines how facilitators can bridge the gap between smallholders and investors, boosting investments, while promoting local ownership. -
Book (series)Working paperHome Country Measures that Promote Responsible Foreign Agricultural Investment 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This paper summarizes the good practices by nine selected OECD countries that seek to promote responsible foreign investment in developing country agriculture, primarily by investors in their territory or jurisdiction. The study provides examples of the increasing trend of home countries in establishing binding legal norms and other mechanisms as safeguards that are relevant for agricultural investment. It finds that States apply some specific provisions to hold private corporate actors investin g in agriculture abroad accountable, for example in regard to bribery of foreign public officials. Investment home countries are also increasingly using safeguards relevant for agricultural investment for companies that are controlled by the State or seek its support. Furthermore, Public-Private Partnerships are increasingly used in development assistance projects as a means to promote responsible agricultural investment. In these cases, the safeguards usually imply the use of negotiated and app roved instruments such as the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT). The Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-RAI), endorsed in 2014 by the Committee on World Food Security (CFS), will possibly become a major guidance instrument, given recent declarations by the G7 and G20.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideManual para manipuladores de alimentos: alumno 2017Las enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos (ETA) son uno de los problemas de salud pública que se presentan con más frecuencia en la vida cotidiana de la población. Los peligros causales de las ETA, pueden provenir de las diferentes etapas que existen a lo largo de la cadena alimentaria (desde la producción primaria hasta la mesa). Independientemente del origen de la contaminación, una vez que este alimento llega al consumidor puede ocurrir un impacto en la salud pública y un severo daño económico a los establecimientos dedicados a su preparación y venta. Ambos eventos, pueden provocar la pérdida de confianza y el cierre del negocio. Por fortuna, las medidas para evitar la contaminación de los alimentos son muy sencillas y pueden ser aplicadas por quien quiera que los manipule, aprendiendo simples reglas para su manejo higiénico. Este manual tiene el propósito de llevar a las personas que manipulan alimentos, pero en especial a los trabajadores de este rubro, el conocimiento necesario que les facilite aplicar pautas correctas en su trabajo cotidiano. Junto con lo anterior, se busca ofrecer la información base en materia de inocuidad de los alimentos, para que los países de América Latina y el Caribe (LAC) adapten los conocimientos expresados en el manual a las necesidades particulares de cada país. El manual está estructurado en tres módulos y sus anexos, que hacen relación a los siguientes temas: 1) Peligros de los alimentos; 2) Enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos (ETA); y 3) Medidas higiénicas para prevenir la contaminación de los alimentos. La evaluación forma parte de la etapa final de este Manual. El objetivo aquí es verificar los conocimientos aprendidos durante el desarrollo del curso sobre la importancia del manejo higiénico de los alimentos para la salud de la población.
