DocumentEvaluation reportEvaluación independiente del funcionamiento de la Convención Internacional de Protección Fitosanitaria y sus mecanismos institucionales 2007La Convención Internacional de Protección Fitosanitaria (CIPF) es un tratado internacional sobre sanidad vegetal, que en septiembre de 2007 contaba con la adhesión de 165 gobiernos. La FAO proporciona la Secretaría de la CIPF y el gobierno de la Convención corresponde a la Comisión de Medidas Fitosanitarias (CMF). En el acuerdo de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) sobre materias sanitarias y fitosanitarias (MSF) se reconoce la función que desempeña la CIPF como organización internaciona l para el establecimiento de normas con objeto de garantizar que las medidas fitosanitarias no se utilicen para crear obstáculos no justificados al comercio. Como consecuencia de ello, se adoptaron medidas para adaptar la Convención a las nuevas realidades. El resultado fue la elaboración de un texto revisado que ampliaba el alcance y el mandato de la CIPF a fin de incluir el establecimiento de normas, el fomento de la prestación de asistencia técnica y el examen de las preocupaciones ambientale s. El texto revisado de la CIPF fue aprobado en 1997 y entró en vigor en octubre de 2005

DocumentEvaluation reportEvaluación en tiempo real de las operaciones de emergencia y rehabilitación de la FAO en respuesta al terremoto y al tsunami del Océano Índico 2007En diciembre de 2004, el tsunami del Océano Índico ocasionó la muerte a 300 000 personas aproximadamente y afectó a los medios de vida de otros dos millones de personas. El desastre ha sido el mayor reto al que se ha enfrentado la FAO hasta la fecha por lo que a situaciones de emergencia se refiere, ya que exigió una respuesta más multiforme, así como más asistencia técnica que cualquier otra operación previa de socorro y recuperación realizada por la Organización.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -

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.
