Book (stand-alone)Other documentUna actividad forestal sostenible en favor de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición 2017En su 41.º período de sesiones, celebrado en octubre de 2014, el Comité de Seguridad Alimentaria Mundial (CSA) solicitó al Grupo de alto nivel de expertos en seguridad alimentaria y nutrición (GANESAN) que preparara un estudio sobre la actividad forestal sostenible en favor de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición, que constituirá la base de las deliberaciones del 44.º período de sesiones plenarias del mencionado Comité, programado para octubre de 2017. La cuestión principal en este caso son l as múltiples contribuciones de los bosques y los árboles a la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición1 en sus cuatro dimensiones y la manera de optimizarlas a escalas espaciales y temporales diferentes, en un contexto de demandas crecientes y contrapuestas de tierra, bosques y árboles (entre otras cosas, para la obtención de madera, alimentos, energía y servicios ecosistémicos) y de cambio climático. El presente informe es un análisis integral y con fundamento empírico de las diversas contribucione s, directas e indirectas, de los bosques y los árboles a la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. En el Capítulo 1 se examinan los vínculos entre los bosques y la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición y, para los fines del presente informe, se proponen un marco conceptual y una tipología forestal basados en criterios de gestión. En el Capítulo 2 se presenta un análisis pormenorizado de las vías por las cuales los bosques y los árboles contribuyen a la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. En el C apítulo 3 se revisa la situación de los bosques en el mundo y se describen los retos y las oportunidades para la actividad forestal en relación con la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. En el Capítulo 4 se abordan soluciones y se discute sobre cómo optimizar de manera sostenible las contribuciones de los bosques y los árboles a la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición.

Book (stand-alone)GuidelineVoluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security 2012The guidelines are the first comprehensive, global instrument on tenure and its administration to be prepared through intergovernmental negotiations. The guidelines set out principles and internationally accepted standards of responsible practices for the use and control of land, fisheries and forests. They provide guidance for improving the policy, legal and organizational frameworks that regulate tenure rights; for enhancing the transparency and administration of tenure systems; and for strengthening the capacities and operations of public bodies, private sector enterprises, civil society organizations and people concerned with tenure and its governance. The guidelines place the governance of tenure within the context of national food security, and are intended to contribute to the progressive realization of the right to adequate food, poverty eradication, environmental protection and sustainable social and economic development.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFAO Strategy for Partnerships with Civil Society Organizations 2013FAO has been working for many years with hundreds of civil society organizations (NGOs, community-based organizations, professional associations, networks, etc.) in technical work, emergency field operations, training and capacity building, and advocacy of best agricultural practices. Over the past years, civil society organizations (CSOs) have evolved in terms of coordination, structure, outreach, mobilization and advocacy capacity. In this period, FAO has also undergone changes i n management, revised its Strategic Framework and given a new impetus to decentralization. Therefore, a review of the existing 1999 FAO Policy and Strategy for Cooperation with Non-Governmental and Civil Society Organizations was needed. The FAO Strategy for Partnerships with Civil Society considers civil society as those non-state actors that work in the areas related to FAO’s mandate. It does not address partnerships with academia, research institutions or philanthropic found ations, as they will be treated in other FAO documents. Food producers’ organizations, given their specific nature and relevance in relation to FAO’s mandate, will be considered separately. In principle, as they usually are for-profit, they will fall under the FAO Strategy for Partnerships with the Private Sector, unless these organizations state otherwise and comply with the criteria for CSOs. These cases will be addressed individually. The Strategy identifies six areas of colla boration and two levels of interaction with different rationales and modus operandi: global-headquarters and decentralized (regional, national, local). The main focus of this Strategy is in working with civil society at th e decentralized level. In its Reviewed Strategic Framework, FAO has defined five Strategic Objectives to eradicate poverty and food insecurity. To achieve this, the Organization is seeking to expand its collaboration with CSOs committed to these objectives.
