Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFramework for Ecosystem Restoration Monitoring, FERM
A global platform to track and accelerate global ecosystem restoration efforts
2025Also available in:
The Framework for Ecosystem Restoration Monitoring (FERM) is an essential tool for advancing global restoration efforts by providing a free, user-friendly platform to track, document, and report progress on ecosystem restoration. Developed by FAO, FERM supports the objectives of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and Target 2 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which seeks to restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. By offering scalable, transparent, and harmonized monitoring tools, FERM enables governments, NGOs, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, researchers, and other stakeholders to register initiatives, share data, and showcase best practices, ultimately fostering collaboration and strengthening the global restoration movement. -

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. -
Book (series)Technical studyTipología de microrregiones en el sector agrícola de Guatemala: Una herramienta para priorizar inversiones en el marco de la Iniciativa Mano de la Mano 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Este estudio presenta un análisis de tipologías de microrregiones para la producción agrícola de Guatemala, el cual se enmarca dentro de la Iniciativa Mano de la mano de la FAO. Utilizando datos recientes de producción agrícola, variables climáticas y geográficas, e información actualizada de pobreza, se establece una clasificación estándar de territorios que integra el potencial de los sistemas agroalimentarios nacionales con la eficiencia de los productores para generar ingresos en lugares donde la pobreza prevalece. Los resultados muestran que los territorios del norte de Guatemala (departamentos de Alta Verapaz y Petén), así como algunos del suroriente y Huehuetenango en el noroccidente, deben ser objeto de intervenciones que promuevan medidas para facilitar la transformación agrícola y el cambio estructural dentro del sector. Por el contrario, en los territorios de Quiché, Totonicapán, San Marcos, Quetzaltenango, Suchitepequez, Baja Verapaz, Chiquimula y Zacapa, se recomienda realizar tanto intervenciones a corto plazo enfocadas en aliviar los altos niveles de pobreza, como inversiones a largo plazo para incentivar el desarrollo de la agricultura. Una de las principales recomendaciones de este estudio es la necesidad de complementar los mapas de tipologías con otros análisis específicos para la elaboración de planes de inversión, como la validación en campo, la viabilidad financiera, la sostenibilidad social, las consultas a minorías y a las comunidades indígenas, y las evaluaciones de impacto, entre otros.
