Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureIniciativa en apoyo de las EPANDB agrícolas: Apoyo a los países respecto de sus estrategias y planes de acción nacionales en materia de diversidad biológica (EPANDB) para los sectores agroalimentarios 2025La Iniciativa en apoyo de las EPANDB agrícolas: Apoyo a los países en sus Estrategias y Planes de Acción Nacionales en Materia de Diversidad Biológica (EPANDB) para los sectores agroalimentarios, lanzada en la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre Biodiversidad de 2024 (CBD COP16), está dedicada a promover la integración de la biodiversidad en los sistemas agroalimentarios. Alineando las estrategias nacionales con el Marco Global de Biodiversidad de Kunming-Montreal, la iniciativa fomenta la conservación de la biodiversidad al tiempo que garantiza la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición sostenibles. Sirve como una plataforma clave para apoyar a los países en el logro de los objetivos globales de biodiversidad a través de prácticas agrícolas que favorecen la biodiversidad.

Also available in:
No results found.The Statistical Yearbook 2024 offers a synthesis of the major factors at play in the global food and agricultural landscape. Statistics are presented in four thematic chapters, covering the economic importance of agricultural activities, inputs, outputs and factors of production, their implications for food security and nutrition and their impacts on the environment. The Yearbook is meant to constitute a primary tool for policymakers, researchers and analysts, as well as the general public interested in the past, present and future path of food and agriculture. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookDigital agriculture in action
ArtificiaI intelligence for agriculture
2021Also available in:
No results found.This publication on artificial intelligence (AI) for agriculture is the fifth in the E-agriculture in Action series, launched in 2016 and jointly produced by FAO and ITU. It aims to raise awareness about existing AI applications in agriculture and to inspire stakeholders to develop and replicate the new ones. Improvement of capacity and tools for capturing and processing data and substantial advances in the field of machine learning open new horizons for data-driven solutions that can support decision-making, facilitate supervision and monitoring, improve the timeliness and effectiveness of safety measures (e.g. use of pesticides), and support automation of many resource-consuming tasks in agriculture. This publication presents the reader with a collection of informative applications highlighting various ways AI is used in agriculture and offering valuable insights on the implementation process, success factors, and lessons learnt. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
