No results found.Sustainable livestock farming in Latin America and the Caribbean is essential for food security, rural livelihoods, and local economies. While the region has significant capacity to produce meat and milk, it also faces major environmental challenges such as deforestation, soil degradation, and greenhouse gas emissions. With global demand for animal protein expected to increase due to rising incomes, urbanization, and population growth, the region has an opportunity to position itself as a leading global supplier of animal protein through more efficient and resilient production systems.The adoption of sustainable practices, such as climate-smart livestock farming, silvopastoral systems, and circular bioeconomy approaches, has demonstrated positive economic, social, and environmental benefits. These strategies reduce emissions, improve productivity, and enhance resilience to climate change. However, challenges like ecological fragmentation, antimicrobial resistance, and insufficcient public policies remain.Addressing these challenges through nature-based solutions, strengthening small producers, and fostering regional cooperation will be crucial to transforming livestock farming into more sustainable models. This document highlights successful experiences in the region and proposes comprehensive strategies to advance livestock farming aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). -

Del 7 al 18 de noviembre de 2016 tuvo lugar en BabIghli, Marrakech, Marruecos, la vigésimo segunda sesiónde la Conferencia de las Partes (COP 22), la duodécima sesión de la Conferencia de las Partes en calidadde reunión de las Partes del Protocolo de Kyoto (CMP12) y la primera sesión de la Conferencia de las Partes del Acuerdo de París (CMA 1). La Conferencia puso de manifiesto cómo el mundo está avanzando para la implementación del Acuerdo de París y cómo se mantiene vivo un espíritu constructivo de cooperación multilateral frente al Cambio Climático. Los gobiernos han fijado un plazo hasta 2018 para completar las normas de aplicación del Acuerdo de París con el fin de asegurar la confianza, la cooperación y su éxito en los años y décadas venideros. El acuerdo adoptado en la COP21 entró en vigor a partir del 4 de noviembre de 2016, y de esta forma, los países han ratificado su compromiso de luchar para conseguir que el incremento de la temperatura global quede por debajo de los 2 grados centígrados y lograr una economía libre de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) hasta la segunda mitad de este siglo. En este contexto de desafíos y considerando los principios,disposiciones y estructura de la Convención Marcode las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC), los países han presentado documentos sobre su Contribución Prevista Nacionalmente Determinada (CPND). Este estudio de análisis y sistematización examina los documentos CPND1 de 32 Estados de AméricaLatina y el Caribe (LAC). -

Apoyar las medidas de mitigación apropiadas para la ganadería en Costa Rica. Resumen técnico
2024Also available in:
No results found.El Gobierno de Costa Rica se ha comprometido firmemente a reducir sus emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Establecer objetivos nacionales de neutralidad de carbono y formular políticas en diversas áreas son medidas para avanzar en esta dirección. El sistema de medición, notificación y verificación se desarrolló con vistas a realizar estimaciones de la repercusión de las medidas de mitigación apropiadas para la ganaderia en Costa Rica. Un sistema de sistema de medición, notificación y verificación robusto es fundamental para cumplir con los compromisos climáticos de Costa Rica, y permitirá sentar las bases para continuar incrementando la ambición climática del país. Este documento está dirigido a los productores ganaderos, a los responsables políticos de Costa Rica.

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. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
