ArticleJournal articleGenerando economía a pesar de las limitaciones: Análisis de las plantaciones forestales en Cochabamba-Bolivia
XV Congreso Forestal Mundial, del 2 al 6 de mayo de 2022

No results found.A fines de 1970, se da inicio a dos décadas de incursión en las plantaciones forestales en la zona andina de Cochabamba, Bolivia, impulsadas por el Programa Forestal PROFOR, se establecen plantaciones comunales de Pino y Eucalipto, llegando a establecer 20.172 hectáreas en el departamento de Cochabamba que representa el 52.23% del territorio nacional.El trabajo se enfoca en la percepción de las comunidades, para lo cual se han realizado encuestas a pobladores de las comunidades, ex - Funcionarios del PROFOR y comercializadores de productos provenientes de las plantaciones forestales. Del análisis de las encuestas, se han identificado las siguientes limitaciones que han sufrido las plantaciones:- Limitaciones culturales: la forma de introducir la cultura forestal en comunidades netamente agrícolas, que ha sido un reto.- Limitaciones de sitio: el desarrollo de las plantaciones a pesar de los sitios asignados (marginales y con condiciones adversas).- Limitaciones económicas: referidas al impulso económico dado a las comunidades para el establecimiento y desarrollo de las plantaciones, que no ha sido otorgado de una forma adecuada.- Limitaciones de manejo: las actividades de manejo (podas y raleos), no pudieron ser implementadas por falta de capacidades humanas y falta de herramientas, Cuando se observa las limitación pero el desarrollo de las plantaciones, se puede afirmar que en muchos de los casos fue la divina providencia que promovió el crecimiento de los rodales.A pesar de todas estas limitaciones, las plantaciones forestales a partir de 2010 comenzaron a crear economía para las comunidades rurales, generando empleo, creando emprendimientos para el aprovechamiento e industrialización de los productos provenientes de las plantaciones y hoy por hoy las comunidades pueden decir que valió la pena esperar e invierten en nuevas plantaciones, aunque hay muchos desafíos que tendrán que afrontar nuevamente.Palabras clave: Plantaciones forestales, economía, cadena de valor, gestión sostenibleID: 3491806

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
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. -
