No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)BulletinRecursos Genéticos Forestales No. 27 1999La 11 Reunin, recientemente celebrada, del Cuadro de Expertos de la FAO en Recursos Genticos Forestales, de la que se informa en el presente nmero de Recursos Genticos Forestales, analiz el trabajo realizado desde la Reunin anterior del Cuadro (vase Recursos Genticos Forestales n 25, 1997), discuti las prioridades de accin e hizo recomendaciones sobre el enfoque futuro de las actividades de la FAO. El Cuadro hizo hincapi en la necesidad de que la FAO contine promoviendo, sosteniendo y ayudando a coordinar las acciones a nivel internacional. Teniendo en cuenta la contribucin al bienestar humano, al desarrollo rural y al alivio del hambre y la pobreza que pueden aportar los trabajos sobre recursos genticos forestales, el Cuadro destac la necesidad de que la FAO ayude a conseguir la disponibilidad de una buena informacin tcnica y cientfica en los foros apropiados contribuyendo de esta forma a fomentar la integracin de las consideraciones en materia de recursos genticos forestales dentro d e los programas que contribuyen a la utilizacin sostenible de los recursos y al desarrollo nacional en general. El Cuadro destac que la financiacin en materia de gentica forestal se va dedicando crecientemente al desarrollo de mtodos moleculares, mientras que el apoyo para estudios biolgicos bsicos y mejora gentica forestal es, con frecuencia, inadecuado o slo se proporciona sobre la base del corto plazo. Se resalt tambin que las modernas biotecnologas slo tienen valor cuando se utilizan como he rramientas dentro del marco de unos buenos programas de conservacin y mejora gentica. El artculo sobre aplicaciones de los microsatlites, en este nmero de Recursos Genticos Forestales, sirve como ejemplo del potencial que ofrecen las modernas biotecnologas para contribuir al desarrollo forestal sostenido.

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. -

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. -

Also available in:
No results found.The Protocol of 8-9 July 1946 relative to the dissolution of the International Institute of Agriculture, transferred the functions and assets of the said Institute to FAO. Of these assets, the Library is unquestionably the most outstanding and is a lasting record of the Institute's work and its achievement in the field of agriculture. This catalogue will undoubtedly contribute towards a better knowledge of this international Library. This volume in its present form, represents the systematic card-index, by subject of the Brussels Decimal Classification, in French and English, and it's supplemented by the general alphabetical index of authors.
