NewsletterNewsletterSeguimiento del mercado del arroz - Junio de 2009 2009Las perspectivas de la FAO para la producción arrocera mundial en 2008 se han revisado al alzaen 4 millones de toneladas, situándose ahora en 688 millones de toneladas (459 millones de toneladas de arroz elaborado), lo que representa un incremento relevante del 4 por ciento con respecto a 2007.

NewsletterNewsletterSeguimiento del Mercado del Arroz - Junio de 2003 2003De acuerdo con los resultados preliminares de las cosechas del hemisferio sur y las proyecciones de siembras en el hemisferio norte, el pronóstico tentativo para la producción total de arroz del mundo durante 2003 fija la cifra en 395 millones de toneladas (592 millones de toneladas en equivalente en arroz cáscara), es decir, 2 por ciento por encima del deprimido nivel del año pasado. No obstante, esta cifra es todavía muy preliminar ya que la producción final dependerá en gran medida de la oportunidad, volumen y distribución de las lluvias monzónicas en Asia, fenómeno que cumple una importante función en la producción mundial.

No results found.FAO elev en 3 millones de toneladas su pronstico para la produccin mundial de arroz cscara durante 2006, con lo que la cifra se sita hoy en 637 millones de toneladas, es decir, tan slo un 1 por ciento por encima de la produccin registrada en 2005. Este magro crecimiento es imputable a un incremento general de los costos de produccin, procesamiento y comercializacin, si bien tambin deja en evidencia que se anticipa un cierto grado de deterioro en las actuales condiciones de cultivo respecto del a o anterior.

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookSoil pollution: a hidden reality 2018This document presents key messages and the state-of-the-art of soil pollution, its implications on food safety and human health. It aims to set the basis for further discussion during the forthcoming Global Symposium on Soil Pollution (GSOP18), to be held at FAO HQ from May 2nd to 4th 2018. The publication has been reviewed by the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soil (ITPS) and contributing authors. It addresses scientific evidences on soil pollution and highlights the need to assess the extent of soil pollution globally in order to achieve food safety and sustainable development. This is linked to FAO’s strategic objectives, especially SO1, SO2, SO4 and SO5 because of the crucial role of soils to ensure effective nutrient cycling to produce nutritious and safe food, reduce atmospheric CO2 and N2O concentrations and thus mitigate climate change, develop sustainable soil management practices that enhance agricultural resilience to extreme climate events by reducing soil degradation processes. This document will be a reference material for those interested in learning more about sources and effects of soil pollution.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion.
