NewsletterNewsletterSeguimiento del Mercado del Arroz de la FAO, Abril de 2015, VOLUMEN XV1I1 EDICIÓN No. 1 2015La campaña arrocera de 2014 ha casi terminado. Aunque los temidos efectos de un fenómeno meteorológico de El Niño no se han materializado hasta ahora, la campaña se ha visto afectada por varios contratiempos climáticos, que en su mayor parte explican la prevista reducción del 0,5 por ciento de la producción mundial de arroz cáscara en 2014, a 741,3 millones de toneladas (494,4 millones de toneladas de arroz elaborado), esto es, 3,3 millones de toneladas menos de lo previsto en diciembre pasado.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFarmers' Rights in the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture 2023The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture is the first legally-binding international instrument that explicitly acknowledges the enormous contribution of farmers and indigenous communities to developing and managing crops and other plant genetic resources for food and agriculture – the basis of our food supply. For millennia, farmers and indigenous communities have taken care of the seed and plants that feed us all. And they continue contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of these resources now and in the future.This brochure contains a brief introduction to what Farmers' Rights are, why, they are important, how the international Treaty supports them and for whom they are relevant. The brochure is designed as attractive introductory product, that refers to more in-depth sources available on Farmers' Rights.

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyImpacts of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture
Synthesis of current knowledge, adaptation and mitigation options
2018Also available in:
No results found.The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement recognizes the need for effective and progressive responses to the urgent threat of climate change, through mitigation and adaptation measures, while taking into account the particular vulnerabilities of food production systems. The inclusion of adaptation measures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector is currently hampered by a widespread lack of targeted analyses of the sector’s vulnerabilities to climate change and associated risks, as well as the opportunities and responses available. This report provides the most up-to-date information on the disaggregated impacts of climate change for marine and inland fisheries, and aquaculture, in the context of poverty alleviation and the differential dependency of countries on fish and fishery resources. The work is based on model projections, data analyses, as well as national, regional and basin-scale expert assessments. The results indicate that climate change will lead to significant changes in the availability and trade of fish products, with potentially important geopolitical and economic consequences, especially for those countries most dependent on the sector. -

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.
