DocumentTechnical reportAQUASTAT - Conozca AQUASTAT, el sistema de información global sobre el agua de la FAO 2014Esta nota informativa cubre 20 años de historia de recopilación y análisis de datos relativos al agua y su divulgación como bien común internacional, de acceso libre para todos. La base de datos principal de países sobre recursos hídricos y sus usos – en sí misma supone un gran reto por la dicultad de presentar la información en términos uniformes—cons - tituye la plataforma para organizar y presentar más de 180 variables e indicadores que pueden buscarse y extraerse para todos los países y p ara diferentes regiones a lo largo de un extenso periodo de tiempo. El proceso de recoger y contrastar los datos ha dado lugar al establecimiento de una red única de colaboradores que aportan datos, usan datos de otros países para hacer comparaciones, e intercambian puntos de vista y experiencias sobre cómo medir y contabilizar mejor el uso del agua. Los usuarios van desde compañías internacionales privadas hasta organizaciones no gubernamentales, y virtualmente todos los informes signicativ os relacionados con el agua dependen de los datos que aporta AQUASTAT. Las nuevas tecnologías mejorarán la disponibilidad de datos y aportarán nuevas rutas para que los usuarios obtengan datos, pero la estructura y la experiencia subyacente de AQUASTAT seguramente seguirán siendo fundamentales y básicas para organizar esos datos y garantizar su libre distribución a nivel internacional.

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. -
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.
