Book (series)Technical reportInforme de la Consulta de Expertos Noruega-FAO sobre la Ordenación de Poblaciones de Peces Compartidas. Bergen, Noruega, 7 – 10 de octubre de 2002. 2002La Consulta de Expertos Noruega-FAO se celebró en reconocimiento del hecho de que la ordenación de los recursos pesqueros compartidos constituye uno de los grandes retos que se plantean en la tarea de lograr una pesca sostenible a largo plazo. La Consulta de Expertos examinó, en particular, la ordenación de las poblaciones de peces transfronterizas y transzonales. La Consulta de Expertos abordó directamente los problemas prácticos planteados por la ordenación de dichos recursos en el marco de la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Derecho del Mar, el Acuerdo de las Naciones Unidas sobre las poblaciones de peces y otros instrumentos internacionales aplicables. Como tal, la Consulta no tenía por objetivo recomendar soluciones, sino más bien servir de foro neutral en que pudieran examinarse con espíritu constructivo posibles opciones y sus repercusiones para la ordenación.

No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Technical studyConservación de los recursos genéticos de los peces: problemas y recomendaciones. Informe de la Consulta de Expertos sobre los recursos genéticos de los peces. Roma, 9-13 de junio de 1980. 1984
Also available in:
Este informe recapitula los argumentos para la conservación de los recursos genéticos de los peces y las diversas estrategias para llevarla a cabo tanto en aguas continentales como en el mar. Recapitula la importancia de la diversidad genética, especialmente en el seno de poblaciones y subpoblaciones, para lograr la viabilidad de los ecosistemas acuáticos y la salud de las poblaciones ícticas y discute varias formas por las cuales se produce el empobrecimiento genético. El informe enfatiza la im portancia de mantener el tamaño efectivo de las poblaciones reproductivas de, por lo menos, 50 para mantener la adaptación a corto plazo, y de, por lo menos, 500 para la supervivencia a largo plazo, y para evitar cuellos de botella genéticos creados por la reducción del tamaño de las poblaciones reproductivas durante una o más generaciones. El informe evalúa igualmente las tecnologías disponibles para el monitoreo, conservación y refuerzo de los recursos genéticos en poblaciones ícticas estri ctamente administradas. Concluye haciendo recomendaciones a cinco grupos diferentes: a organizaciones internacionales, a gobiernos, a acuicultores y administradores de pesquerías, a conservacionistas y a la comunidad científica. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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)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.
