2019Also available in:
No results found.El documento presenta una descripción de la estructura del ámbito rural, la demografía, la oferta de bienes y servicios, las principales desigualdades, niveles de pobreza, importancia y rol de la agricultura familiar y de otras actividades económicas (diversificación), principales características de la sociedad rural y la presencia del sector privado. Además discutirá las tendencias de la migración y de otros procesos sociales o económicos relevantes para la descripción de la situación de lo rural. Asimismo, el texto discutirá la importancia de lo rural en el logro de los ODS identificando la situación actual y la magnitud de cambio necesario para cumplir con los ODS. -
ProjectFactsheetPlan de Acción de Agricultura Familiar y Desarrollo Rural Territorial en Países de América Latina y el Caribe - TCP/RLA/3513 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Los agricultores familiares de la región de América Latina y el Caribese topan a menudo con políticas sectoriales muy específicas que lesdificultan el acceso a activos productivos, a mercados, y a mecanismosde protección social; dificultades contra las que luchan para podermejorar sus medios de subsistencia y la capacidad de produciralimentos. El proyecto planteó fortalecer las capacidades de lasorganizaciones de agricultores familiares, y promover los mecanismosintersectoriales nacionales para la innovación institucional, con el fin depermitir un mayor desarrollo integral de carácter productivo, comercialy de protección social. Estas acciones han favorecido la innovación parala Agricultura Familiar (AF), han reforzado los mecanismos de inversióny financiamiento, y han permitido implantar programas de apoyo paraproveer servicios de desarrollo de nuevos emprendimientos en áreasrurales. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyDeep-ocean climate change impacts on habitat, fish and fisheries
FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper No. 638
2019Also available in:
No results found.This publication presents the outcome of a meeting between the FAO/UNEP ABNJ Deep-seas and Biodiversity project and the Deep Ocean Stewardship Initiative. It focuses on the impacts of climatic changes on demersal fisheries, and the interactions of these fisheries with other species and vulnerable marine ecosystems. Regional fisheries management organizations rely on scientific information to develop advice to managers. In recent decades, climate change has been a focus largely as a unidirectional forcing over decadal timescales. However, changes can occur abruptly when critical thresholds are crossed. Moreover, distribution changes are expected as populations shift from existing to new areas. Hence, there is a need for new monitoring programmes to help scientists understand how these changes affect productivity and biodiversity. The principal cause of climate change is rising greenhouse gases and other compounds in the atmosphere that trap heat causing global warming, leading to deoxygenation and acidification in the oceans. Three-dimensional fully coupled earth system models are used to predict the extent of these changes in the deep oceans at 200–2500 m depth. Trends in changes are identified in many variables, including temperature, pH, oxygen and supply of particulate organic carbon (POC). Regional differences are identified, indicating the complexity of the predictions. The response of various fish and invertebrate species to these changes in the physical environment are analysed using hazard and suitability modelling. Predictions are made to changes in distributions of commercial species, though in practice the processes governing population abundance are poorly understood in the deep-sea environment, and predicted -

BookletHigh-profileCurrent status of agriculture in the caribbean and implications for agriculture policy and strategy
2030 - Food, Agriculture and rural development in Latin America and the Caribbean - Document Nº14
2019Also available in:
No results found.This summary identifies key trends in agriculture in the Caribbean and the related opportunities for investments in support of growth, poverty reduction, and sustainability. It presents, to the extent to which available data and information allow, a sectorial review of agriculture in the region and identifies opportunities, prospects and investment priorities. The document presents a description of the structure of the rural environment, demography, the supply of goods and services, the main inequalities, levels of poverty, importance and role of family agriculture and other economic activities (diversification), the main features of rural society and the presence of the private sector. It will also discuss trends in migration and other social or economic processes relevant to the description of the rural situation. The text will also discuss the importance of rural development in achieving the SDGs by identifying the current situation and the extent of change required to meet the SDGs.
