Also available in:
No results found.The Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Synthesis for The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture summarizes the state of biodiversity for food and agriculture in the region, based largely on information provided in fourteen country reports submitted to FAO as part of the reporting process for the report on The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture.Biodiversity for food and agriculture is the diversity of plants, animals and micro-organisms at genetic, species and ecosystem levels, present in and around crop, livestock, forest and aquatic production systems. It is essential to the structure, functions and processes of these systems, to livelihoods and food security, and to the supply of a wide range of ecosystem services. It has been managed or influenced by farmers, livestock keepers, forest dwellers, fish farmers and fisherfolk for hundreds of generations.The report was originally prepared as supporting documentation for an informal regional consultation on the state of Latin America and the Caribbean’s biodiversity for food and agriculture held in Panama City, Panama, 8 to 10 March 2016. It was later revised based on feedback received from the participants of the informal consultation and on an additional country report. It also discusses the state of efforts to promote the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity for food and agriculture in the region, including through the development of supporting policies, legal frameworks, institutions and capacities. -

This brochure for Latin America and the Caribbean highlights the organization's four strategic priorities for transforming agrifood systems in the region between 2024 and 2025. Based on its 2022-2031 Strategic Framework, FAO seeks more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable production, improved nutrition, sustainable management of natural resources, and reduced inequalities. This approach aligns with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, promoting better production, nutrition, environment, and quality of life.Each of these priorities addresses key challenges such as hunger, environmental degradation, and poverty, promoting innovative solutions and sustainable practices. The priorities include, among others, promoting healthy diets, using innovative technologies in agriculture, efficient management of natural resources, and investing in rural communities. These actions are designed to ensure that no one is left behind in the transformation of food systems.The document also emphasizes the importance of inclusive public policies and programs like the Hand-in-Hand Initiative, which aims to strengthen investment in agriculture and rural development, focusing on the most vulnerable communities. Through these actions, FAO aims to create resilient agrifood systems that benefit the population, the environment, and the economy of Latin America and the Caribbean. -
