No results found.Las plagas emergentes constituyen una seria amenaza para la agricultura en los países de América Latina y el Caribe, ya que los agricultores y las instituciones ven limitada su capacidad de respuesta debido a las características de este tipo de amenazas dichas plagas comprometen los medios de vida y afectan en mayor medida a pequeños agricultores familiares para los cuáles el incremento en los costos de producción y/o la introducción de cambios en sus sistemas productivos suele ser más difícil de asimilar Este sector se ha visto amenazado especialmente por la diseminación de la enfermedad de Huanglongbing ( de los cítricos su agente causal es el género bacteriano Candidatus Liberibacter y su principal forma de dispersión es a través de dos vectores Diaphorina citri Kuwayama y Trioza erytreae y a través de material vegetativo contaminado Hasta la fecha no se conoce manejo eficaz de la enfermedad El HLB provoca pérdidas directas en el rendimiento, volumen y valor de la producción con consecuencias negativas económicas, sociales y ambientales. -

TCP/BZE/3402 – Assistance to manage Huanglongbing (HLB) in Belize

No results found.The citrus industry is very important to the economy of Belize in terms of employment, livelihood of rural communities, exports and local production. Since May 2009, the industry has been under threat of devastation from Huanglongbing (HLB), formerly known as Citrus Greening Disease. In response to the outbreak, industry stakeholders including growers, government and processors have undertaken a national response to reduce the incidence and spread of the disease, which is vectored by an insect c alled the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri. All citrus varieties are susceptible to HLB and there is currently no known cure for the disease. Management of the disease (via reduced incidence of the vector and improved plant health) is the only viable option to mitigate the impact of HLB on the production and productivity of the groves. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Insecurity in the World (SOFI) 2015
Meeting the 2015 international hunger targets: taking stock of uneven progress
2015This year´s annual State of Food Insecurity in the World report takes stock of progress made towards achieving the internationally established Millennium Development Goal (MDG1) and World Food Summit hunger targets and reflects on what needs to be done, as we transition to the new post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda. The report reviews progress made since 1990 for every country and region as well as for the world as a whole. Progress towards the MDG 1 target, however, is assessed not only by measuring undernourishment, or hunger, but also by a second indicator – the prevalence of underweight children under five years of age. Progress for the two indicators across regions and over time, is compared, providing insights into the complexity of food security. Overall progress notwithstanding, much work remains to be done to eradicate hunger and achieve food security across all its dimensions. The 2015 report not only estimates the progress already achieved, but also identifies r emaining problems, and provides guidance on which policies should be emphasized in the future. Key factors that have determined success to date towards food security and nutrition goals are identified. The list of factors – economic growth, agricultural productivity growth, markets (including international trade) and social protection – is by no means exhaustive. The report also shows how protracted crises, due to conflict or natural disasters, have deleterious effects on progress in hunger redu ction.
