    Uno de los retos más importantes a los que los alcaldes se enfrentan como gobernantes es garantizar que todos los habitantes de las ciudades reciban una alimentación adecuada. Las ciudades colombianas están en continuo crecimiento, y el conflicto armado desplaza a miles de personas más hacia ellas. La crisis económica ha afectado a los ciudadanos más pobres de Colombia con particular severidad. Según cálculos de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentaci ón, FAO, la décima parte de la población colombiana está desnutrida. Los recursos municipales son limitados. Algunos de ellos deben usarse para atender a la población en condiciones de inseguridad alimentaria a través de programas tales como los comedores comunitarios. Pero hay una parte importante de los habitantes de las ciudades que, a pesar de su pobreza, no recibe ayudas directas, sino que debe procurarse sus propios alimentos a través de tiendas, plazas y supermercados. Esta po blación, que en muchos casos trabaja en el sector informal de la economía y tiene ingresos inestables, es muy vulnerable. Por tanto, es prioritario que el comercio de alimentos funcione de la mejor forma posible para garantizar que esta población tenga acceso a ellos. Como autoridades locales, los alcaldes están dotados de instrumentos muy importantes para lograr que el sistema de distribución de alimentos atienda las necesidades de los ciudadanos que viven en condiciones de pobreza. Este documento sugiere algunas posibles líneas de acción en ese sentido.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    In 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.

    Beneficios de las legumbres para la salud. Infografía 2021
    La dieta es un factor importante para la salud y la enfermedad. La mayoría de los países se enfrentan a problemas de nutrición, de la desnutrición y las deficiencias de micronutrientes a la obesidad y las enfermedades relacionadas con la dieta (como la diabetes tipo II y determinados tipos de cáncer), o una mezcla de ellos. Las legumbres son un alimento rico en nutrientes que, como parte de una dieta saludable pueden ayudar a combatir la desnutrición en los países desarrollados y en desarrollo.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

    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.
