Book (series)Technical reportLa seguridad en el mar como parte integrante de la ordenación pesquera 2001En el presente documento se defiende que la seguridad en el mar debe integrarse en la ordenación general de la pesca en cada país. La situación de la pesca mundial ha cambiado espectacularmente en los últimos años. La Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Derecho del Mar, que entró en vigor en 1994, establece no sólo los derechos, sino también las obligaciones de los estados ribereños con respecto a la ordenación de sus Zonas Económicas Exclusivas (ZEE) de 200 millas. Por ello, cabe esperar que los estados ribereños adopten medidas al respecto durante los próximos años. Se abrirá así el camino para establecer reglamentos que garanticen la seguridad y bienestar de los pescadores, así como la utilización sostenible de las poblaciones ícticas. Los países industrializados han tardado decenios tratando de mejorar la seguridad en el mar con carácter voluntario. Hay ahora, entre los promotores de la seguridad, un consenso general en que la obligatoriedad de la capacitación sobre segurida d es la condición previa indispensable para cualquier resultado. Por ejemplo, la vinculación de los requisitos de seguridad con los permisos de pesca es una forma práctica de superar la falta de motivación que hasta ahora ha impedido mejorar la seguridad en el mar para los pescadores.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRecomendaciones de seguridad para los buques pesqueros con cubierta de eslora inferior a 12 metros y los buques pesqueros sin cubierta 2014El objeto de las recomendaciones de seguridad que figuran en la presente publicación es facilitar información sobre el proyecto, la construcción y el equipo de los buques pesqueros pequeños, así como la formación y protección de su tripulación, con miras a promover la seguridad del buque y la seguridad e higiene de la tripulación. Las recomendaciones de seguridad también pueden servir como guía para las personas que se encargan de la seguridad de los buques utilizados en apoyo de actividades acu ícolas. Dichas recomendaciones no están destinadas a sustituir leyes y reglamentaciones de carácter nacional, pero pueden servir de guía para quienes se ocupan de elaborar tales leyes y reglamentaciones. Salvo indicación expresa en otro sentido, las disposiciones de las presentes recomendaciones de seguridad van dirigidas a los buques pesqueros nuevos con cubierta de eslora igual o inferior a 12 m, así como a los buques pesqueros nuevos sin cubierta, de cualquier eslora, destinados a faenar en e l mar (así como en océanos, ríos, lagos y presas, o cualquier extensión de agua).

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.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
