Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
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. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLos fertilizantes y su uso
Una guía de bolsillo para los oficiales de extensión
2002Also available in:
Esta guía fue preparada originariamente para uso de los oficiales de extensión que trabajaban para el Programa de Fertilizantes de la FAO. La primera edición fue publicada en 1965, la tercera edición en 1978, y su reimpresión en 1986. Para esta nueva, edición 2002, la mayor parte del texto de 1978 ha sido completamente revisado. La información sobre nuevos desarrollos técnicos y conocimientos ha sido incorporada. La guía explica la necesidad de los fertilizantes minerales, su rol e n las plantas y las características del suelo que son importantes para la fertilización. Una nueva sección aporta las recomendaciones generales para cultivos seleccionados. El capítulo sobre «Cómo determinar las necesidades de fertilizantes» incluye información sobre los síntomas de deficiencia y análisis de suelo y de los tejidos de las plantas. Un capítulo es dedicado a explicar y dar sugerencias sobre la presentación de demostraciones de fertilizantes y de las técnicas de ex tensión en general. Las recomendaciones para cultivos seleccionados están basadas en gran parte en IFA «Manual Mundial sobre el Uso de Fertilizantes», 1992. Una información más detallada se encuentra en el Manual disponible en IFA, París *. Inclusive la información mucho más completa dada en el Manual a menudo requerirá modificaciones por el usuario para tomar en cuenta las recomendaciones oficiales de los fertilizantes para los cultivos y suelos locales.
