No results found.Han transcurrido 17 años desde la iniciación, en 1985, del conjunto de procesos nacionales de programación y ejecución de actividades forestales que contribuyen al desarrollo sostenible, conocido en un comienzo como los Planes de Acción Forestal Tropical (PAFT), y posteriormente, en 1992, con la revisión del marco inicial como los Programas de Acción Forestal Nacional (PAFN). Sucesivos esfuerzos para fortalecer esos procesos, superando sus iniciales deficiencias, dieron lugar a la estructuración de los programas forestales nacionales. Los programas forestales nacionales fueron conceptualizados en 1997 por el Panel Intergubernamental de Bosques (PIB) como una expresión genérica para una amplia gama de enfoques para las políticas, planificaciones y acciones tendientes al manejo forestal sostenible, en ámbitos nacionales y subnacionales, basados en los principios universales acordados por ese Panel y ejecutados de acuerdo con la situación socioeconómica, cultural, ambiental, política y le gal de cada país, incluyendo sus compromisos internacionales. Los programas forestales nacionales deberían estructurarse con amplio enfoque intersectorial y participativo y considerar ciertos principios y elementos generales que les den una identidad especial y los hagan coherentes. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Technical reportCOFI - Informe de la Consulta de Expertos sobre el Propuesto Subcomité de acuicultura del Comité de Pesca. Bangkok, Tailandia, 28-29 de febrero de 2000. 2001Este es el informe de la Consulta de Expertos sobre el Propuesto Subcomité de Acuicultura del Comité de Pesca, que se celebró en respuesta a la solicitud del 23º período de sesiones del Comité de Pesca (COFI), en la Oficina Regional de la FAO para Asia y el Pacífico, en Bangkok, Tailandia, del 28 al 29 de febrero de 2000. Asistieron a la Consulta 33 participantes de 14 países, de dos organizaciones intergubernamentales regionales y de dos organizaciones intergubernamentales internacionales. La C onsulta de Expertos confirmó que la importancia cada vez mayor de la acuicultura, en particular la pesca basada en el cultivo, y sus interacciones justificaban un mecanismo intergubernamental especial de carácter mundial para crear la posibilidad de un intercambio de informaciones, de celebrar deliberaciones y lograr un consenso entre las diversas partes interesadas en el desarrollo de la acuicultura, y para crear un sistema eficiente para asesorar y guiar al COFI y la FAO. La Consulta llegó a l a conclusión de que el establecimiento de ese Subcomité respondería a lo previsto en la Resolución 13/97 de la Conferencia de la FAO y se justificaría el gasto de fondos en el Subcomité. La Consulta definió las principales cuestiones y dio prioridad a seis sectores principales que debían ser tratados, y declaró que el papel de la acuicultura en el incremento de la seguridad alimentaria y el desarrollo económico en los países miembros de la FAO era una prioridad fundamental.

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. -
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. -
