Parasitosis de transmisión alimentaria
2020La equinococosis humana es una enfermedad parasitaria provocada por tenias del género Echinococcus. Los seres humanos se infestan al ingerir huevos de parásitos presentes en los alimentos, el agua o el suelo contaminados o por contacto directo con animales que actúan como hospedadores. Más de un millón de personas en todo el mundo pueden padecer estas enfermedades en un momento dado. El tratamiento de la equinococosis, que suele ser caro y complicado, puede requerir una intervención quirúrgica de envergadura o un tratamiento farmacológico prolongado. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureTeniasis y cisticercosis
Parasitosis de transmisión alimentaria
2020La teniasis y la cisticercosis son enfermedades infecciosas provocadas por el parásito Taenia solium. La teniasis es una infección intestinal que se produce cuando las personas consumen carne infectada de cerdo cruda o poco cocinada. La teniasis tiene poca repercusión en la salud humana. En cambio, cuando un ser humano ingiere huevos de tenia por la vía fecal-oral, o ingiere agua o alimentos contaminados, las larvas del parásito pueden infectar los tejidos, los músculos, la piel y los ojos (cisticercosis humana), lo cual puede tener efectos devastadores para la salud. La formación de quistes en el cerebro se conoce como neurocisticercosis. Se calcula que este parásito es la causa del 30% de los casos de epilepsia en las zonas endémicas. Sin embargo, existen herramientas veterinarias y de salud pública para controlar eficazmente estas enfermedades. -

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.
