Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuía técnica 1 de la FAO – Introducción a la programación de protección social sensible al género para combatir la pobreza rural: ¿Por qué es importante? ¿Qué significa?
Caja de herramientas para programas de protección social sensibles al género orientados a luchar contra la pobreza y el hambre en el medio rural
2020Muchos de los programas de protección social, incluyendo los de transferencias monetarias, de obras públicas y de transferencias de activos, se dirigen a las mujeres como principales beneficiarias o receptoras de los beneficios. Extender la protección social a las poblaciones rurales tiene un gran potencial para fomentar el empoderamiento económico de las mujeres rurales. Sin embargo, para aprovechar este potencial, son necesarias acciones adicionales. Existe un amplio margen para hacer que las políticas y programas de protección social sean más sensibles al género y para alinearlos mejor con las políticas de desarrollo agrícola y rural para contribuir a enfrentar las desigualdades de género. Reconociendo este potencial y aprovechando la evidencia existente, la FAO busca mejorar la contribución de la protección social a la igualdad de género y el empoderamiento de las mujeres mediante la asistencia técnica a nivel país para el desarrollo de capacidades, la generación de conocimiento y el apoyo programático. Para avanzar en esta agenda, la FAO ha desarrollado la Caja de herramientas para programas de protección social sensibles al género orientados a luchar contra la pobreza y el hambre en el medio rural. La Caja de herramientas está diseñada para apoyar a los formuladores de políticas y profesionales en sus esfuerzos para aplicar sistemáticamente un enfoque de género que esté en línea con los acuerdos globales y los compromisos de la FAO para ampliar los sistemas de protección social inclusivos a las poblaciones rurales. Esta Caja se enfoca en el rol de la protección social para reducir las desigualdades sociales de género, así como la pobreza y el hambre en las zonas rurales. -

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. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
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.
