Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureLos bosques para la salud y el bienestar de los seres humanos 2021Directa o indirectamente, los bosques aportan importantes beneficios para la salud de todas las personas, no solo de aquellas cuyas vidas están estrechamente entrelazadas con los ecosistemas forestales, sino también de las personas que viven lejos de los bosques, como las poblaciones urbanas. Si bien el reconocimiento de la importancia de los bosques para la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición ha aumentado notablemente en los últimos años, su función para la salud del ser humano ha recibido menos atención. La nutrición y la salud están intrínsecamente relacionadas: no se puede lograr una buena nutrición sin una buena salud y viceversa. Por lo tanto, cuando se abordan los vínculos con los bosques, es esencial abordar la salud y la nutrición al mismo tiempo. Sin embargo, los bosques también aportan a la salud y el bienestar del ser humano una amplia gama de beneficios que van más allá de los que suelen asociarse a la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. En la presente publicación se examinan los numerosos vínculos que existen entre los bosques y la salud del ser humano y se ofrecen recomendaciones para crear un entorno favorable en que las personas puedan beneficiarse de ellos. Se espera que el presente documento, concebido para profesionales y responsables de la formulación de políticas en una gama de campos —que van desde la actividad forestal a la seguridad alimentaria, desde la nutrición y la salud al uso de la tierra y la planificación urbana—, estimulará el interés por extender la colaboración intersectorial a un nuevo conjunto de partes interesadas, a fin de liberar el pleno potencial de los bosques para contribuir a un mayor bienestar humano.

ProjectFactsheetTrabajar Para Eliminar el Hambre y Garantizar la Seguridad Alimentaria y la Nutrición de Todos los Seres Humanos - GCP/GLO/358/MUL 2019La presencia de niveles elevados de hambre, malnutrición y pobreza en medio de una riqueza mundial y una abundancia de alimentos cada vez mayores, así como la incapacidad de proteger a las personas vulnerables de los efectos de las crisis, apuntan a la imperiosa necesidad de reformar la gobernanza mundial de la seguridad alimentaria. El Comité de Seguridad Alimentaria Mundial fue establecido en 1974 como órgano intergubernamental destinado a proporcionar un foro para el examen y seguimiento de las políticas relacionadas con la seguridad alimentaria mundial, en particular la producción de alimentos y el acceso físico y económico a los mismos. A raíz del documento sobre la reforma del Comité, aprobado por la Conferencia de la FAO en 2009, se formuló este proyecto de fondo fiduciario de múltiples donantes con objeto de ayudar a cubrir los costos de estas actividades adicionales y contribuir a la financiación extrapresupuestaria para permitir al Comité realizar sus nuevas funciones y cumplir sus nuevas aspiraciones.

Poster, bannerPoster / banner / roll-up / folderLos bosques para la salud y el bienestar de los seres humanos 2021Forests provide, directly or indirectly, important health benefits for all people – not only those whose lives are closely intertwined with forest ecosystems, but also people far from forests, including urban populations. Recognition of the importance of forests for food security and nutrition has significantly increased in recent years, but their role in human health has received less attention. Nutrition and health are intrinsically connected: Good nutrition cannot be achieved without good health and vice versa. Therefore, when addressing linkages with forests, it is essential to address health and nutrition at the same time. Yet forests also provide a wide range of benefits to human health and well-being beyond those generally associated with food security and nutrition. This publication examines the many linkages of forests and human health and offers recommendations for creating an enabling environment in which people can benefit from them. Designed for practitioners and policy-makers in a range of fields – from forestry to food security, from nutrition and health to land-use and urban planning – it is hoped that the paper will stimulate interest in expanding cross-sectoral collaboration to a new set of stakeholders, to unlock the full potential of forests’ contributions to greater human well-being.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
Also available in:
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022
Repurposing food and agricultural policies to make healthy diets more affordable
2022This year’s report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks) combined with the high cost of nutritious foods and growing inequalities will continue to challenge food security and nutrition. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively. -

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
