Policy briefPolicy brief¿Cómo la industria del aguacate y la piña pueden transformar el destino de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible? 2024Las empresas de producción y exportación mundial de aguacates y piñas desempeñan un papel importante en el avance de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). El sector de las frutas tropicales no sólo contribuye al empleo y a los ingresos por exportaciones, sino que también proporciona alimentos nutritivos a las personas. Sin embargo, si no se gestionan adecuadamente, los riesgos sociales, ambientales y económicos asociados con las cadenas de valor de las frutas tropicales pueden tener efectos perjudiciales e impedir el progreso hacia el logro de los ODS. Es necesario un enfoque proactivo para identificar y evitar estos desafíos, asegurando que los sectores del aguacate y la piña continúen logrando, de forma positiva, contribuciones a los ODS. Al hacerlo, pueden alinear su crecimiento con el desarrollo sostenible. Contribuir al cumplimiento de los ODS también ayuda a las empresas a mitigar los riesgos, fortalecer el acceso a mercados con altos requisitos de sostenibilidad y mejorar las relaciones con los consumidores, los trabajadores, los gobiernos y otras partes interesadas.La serie Frutas Tropicales Sostenibles destaca importantes avances, información técnica y buenas prácticas relacionadas con la resiliencia, sostenibilidad e inclusión en las cadenas de valor de frutas tropicales.

BookletCorporate general interestAnálisis de brechas para apoyar la diligencia debida en los sectores del aguacate y la piña 2023El proyecto de la FAO “Crear cadenas de valor mundiales responsables en favor de la producción y el comercio sostenibles de frutas tropicales” (GCP/GLO/022/GER) apoya al sector del aguacate y la piña en el desarrollo de sistemas de diligencia debida basados en el riesgo para ser más sostenibles y resilientes a crisis, como eventos climáticos y recesiones económicas. La diligencia debida ayuda a las empresas a evitar que las actividades de su cadena de valor tengan impactos negativos en el ambiente y el bienestar de las personas. En muchos países, las leyes requieren que las empresas realicen diligencia debida para identificar, evaluar, mitigar, prevenir y reportar cómo abordan los impactos adversos de sus actividades, las de sus proveedores y socios. Las empresas del sector de las frutas tropicales suelen utilizar normas voluntarias de sostenibilidad para gestionar los riesgos y cumplir con los requisitos de los mercados internacionales. La utilidad de éstas para la diligencia debida depende parcialmente de qué tan alineados estén con las regulaciones internacionales. Esta guía de análisis de brechas ayuda a las empresas a analizar preliminarmente esta alineación. La guía incluye un manual y una herramienta Excel para comparar los estándares y políticas que utilizan las empresas con las recomendaciones de la Guía OCDE-FAO para las cadenas de suministro responsable en el sector agrícola, que es el punto de referencia mundial para la diligencia debida en el sector. La guía brinda sugerencias para fortalecer los procesos de diligencia debida y los requisitos para una conducta empresarial responsable.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The 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. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
