    Materiales para capacitación en semillas
    Módulo 3: Procesamiento de semillas, equipo y prácticas
    2019
    Also available in:
    Este material para capacitación en semillas, disponible en Inglés, Francés y Español, será promovido como una guía que asista a la implementación de estrategias nacionales de semillas. Proveerá una serie de herramientas prácticas para la creación de capacidades en las etapas esenciales de la cadena de valor de semillas. Está diseñada para apoyar a profesionales que trabajan en el sector semillas y que participen de actividades de entrenamiento, apoyando la adquisición de conocimiento y facilitando un efecto multiplicador desde las escuelas de campo agrícola hasta agricultores y vendedores de semilla.De esta forma, este material de capacitación en semillas podrá ser utilizado como una guía para desarrollar talleres de formación que apunten a reforzar los esquemas de producción y suministro de semillas de calidad. El desarrollo de capacidades de producción de semillas de calidad, las tazas de reemplazo de semillas, cálculos de costos y mecanismos de formación de precios y el rol que tiene cada actor dentro de la cadena de producción y venta de semillas son puntos críticos en el proceso de formulación de una política nacional de semillas, lo cual es una de las áreas de trabajo clave de la FAO en países.

    The 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

    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.

    The State of Food and Agriculture 2019
    Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
    2019
    Also available in:
    The 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.
