El pronóstico de marzo de la FAO relativo a la producción mundial de arroz cáscara en 2007 ha aumentado 5 millones de toneladas a 638 millones de toneladas, lo que representa un incremento de sólo 1 por ciento respecto a 2006. -
NewsletterNewsletterSeguimiento del Mercado del Arroz - Junio de 2003 2003De acuerdo con los resultados preliminares de las cosechas del hemisferio sur y las proyecciones de siembras en el hemisferio norte, el pronóstico tentativo para la producción total de arroz del mundo durante 2003 fija la cifra en 395 millones de toneladas (592 millones de toneladas en equivalente en arroz cáscara), es decir, 2 por ciento por encima del deprimido nivel del año pasado. No obstante, esta cifra es todavía muy preliminar ya que la producción final dependerá en gran medida de la oportunidad, volumen y distribución de las lluvias monzónicas en Asia, fenómeno que cumple una importante función en la producción mundial.

No results found.FAO elev en 3 millones de toneladas su pronstico para la produccin mundial de arroz cscara durante 2006, con lo que la cifra se sita hoy en 637 millones de toneladas, es decir, tan slo un 1 por ciento por encima de la produccin registrada en 2005. Este magro crecimiento es imputable a un incremento general de los costos de produccin, procesamiento y comercializacin, si bien tambin deja en evidencia que se anticipa un cierto grado de deterioro en las actuales condiciones de cultivo respecto del a o anterior.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests. -
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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion.
