Book (stand-alone)Technical bookEnfoques de género transformadores para la seguridad alimentaria, la mejora de la nutrición y la agricultura sostenible - Compendio de 15 buenas prácticas 2021El Compendio es un producto del Programa Conjunto sobre Enfoques de Género Transformadores para lograr la Seguridad Alimentaria y la Nutrición implementado por la FAO, el FIDA y el PMA y financiado por la Unión Europea. El Compendio de 15 buenas prácticas de enfoques de género transformadores incluye las plantillas individuales de las 15 buenas prácticas, proporciona una síntesis de las características principales de los 15 enfoques presentando las características centrales de 15 enfoques y describe los arreglos de implementación, el ciclo de implementación, los resultados potenciales de los enfoques y sus factores clave de éxito y desafíos. También incluye ideas sobre cómo ampliar los enfoques de género transformadores. El propósito del Compendio es cuádruple: (i) hacer un balance y extraer lecciones de las experiencias de las prácticas existentes de enfoques de género transformadores; (ii) ser un recurso para las agencias que ya están trabajando con enfoques de género transformadores para identificar oportunidades para fortalecer su trabajo con estos enfoques o para vincularse con intervenciones complementarias; (iii) proporcionar orientación sobre cómo aplicar los enfoques de género transformadores en cualquier organización o institución que trabaje para mejorar la seguridad alimentaria, la nutrición y la agricultura sostenible; y (iv) sensibilizar y promover los enfoques de género transformadores mostrando ejemplos de buenas prácticas o enfoques exitosos que contribuyan a cambios positivos relacionados con el género y no relacionados con el género hacia la seguridad alimentaria, la mejora de la nutrición y la agricultura y el desarrollo rural sostenibles.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookStandard operating procedure for soil enzyme activities
β-glucosidases, arylsulfatase, N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, dehydrogenase, phosphomonoesterases
2025Also available in:
No results found.This standard operating procedure (SOP) has been harmonized by the joint working group of the FAO's Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN) and the International Network on Soil Biodiversity (NETSOB). The protocol focuses on the determination of five soil enzyme activities: β-Glucosidases, Arylsulfatase, N-acetyl-β-Glucosaminidase, Dehydrogenase, and Phosphomonoesterases. After a general introduction on the importance of soil enzyme as key indicator for soil health and few remarks on the sampling strategies, the determination of each enzyme is presented separately with step-by-step instructions. -
Book (series)YearbookWorld Food and Agriculture – Statistical Yearbook 2024 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Statistical Yearbook 2024 offers a synthesis of the major factors at play in the global food and agricultural landscape. Statistics are presented in four thematic chapters, covering the economic importance of agricultural activities, inputs, outputs and factors of production, their implications for food security and nutrition and their impacts on the environment. The Yearbook is meant to constitute a primary tool for policymakers, researchers and analysts, as well as the general public interested in the past, present and future path of food and agriculture.
