    Also available in:

    El aumento de la inversión en agricultura y sistemas alimentarios -tanto del sector privado como del público- es fundamental para mejorar la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición, reducir la pobreza y adaptarse al cambio climático. Para generar beneficios sostenibles, esta inversión debe ser responsable. ¿Qué papel deben desempeñar los incentivos a la inversión para fomentarla? Esta Guía ayuda a responder a esa pregunta. En concreto, la Guía ofrece a los responsables políticos y al personal técnico de los gobiernos una orientación sobre cómo pueden utilizarse los incentivos a la inversión (y cómo no deben utilizarse) para potenciar la inversión responsable en la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios. La Guía ofrece una visión general de la inversión responsable en la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios; examina los tipos comunes de incentivos; ofrece consideraciones generales sobre cómo pueden utilizarse los incentivos; y analiza cómo planificar, diseñar, supervisar y evaluar los incentivos a la inversión para la inversión responsable en la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios.
