Also available in:
No results found.El presente estudio fue elaborado en el marco del proyecto “Implicaciones de las políticas públicas sobre biocombustibles, en la seguridad alimentaria de países seleccionados de América Latina. Los casos de Argentina, Colombia y Paraguay”, financiado por la Cooperación Española, a través del Fondo Fiduciario España – FAO para América Latina y el Caribe. En este documento se describen los procesos de formación de las políticas públicas para promocionar los biocombustibles en Argentina, así como e l estado actual de las normas que orientan y regulan el desarrollo y la utilización de los mismos. Se presenta así una visión completa sobre el alcance y la evolución de las distintas políticas que han sido adoptadas por el país en esta materia. También se describen las relaciones contractuales entre los diferentes actores de las cadenas productivas de biocombustibles, y se identifican los factores que deben ser considerados para orientar las políticas que promueven una distribución equitativa d e los beneficios obtenidos de esta industria. En la última parte se incluyen algunas consideraciones sobre el efecto que la producción de biocombustibles pudiera tener en la seguridad alimentaria y finalmente se proponen líneas estratégicas de políticas, con el propósito de fomentar la sustentabilidad de la producción de bioenergía, sirviendo como orientación para tomadores de decisión del sector público. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileRinderpest and its eradication 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This book tells the story of rinderpest and its eradication. The focus is on the international coordination that came together after the Second World War in the confident belief that, with vaccines available, the eradication of rinderpest was a practical possibility. In both Africa and South Asia, beginning in the 1960s, there was an initial dramatic success through the coordinated vaccination of cattle across the continents. Unfortunately, follow-up measures could not prevent the return of epidemic rinderpest, albeit to a lesser extent. Chastened by failure, the international community refocused with renewed energy to achieve eradication. The vaccination programmes broadened to reflect a multidisciplinary approach to disease eradication. FAO and the OIE, together with international aid agencies, coordinated policy with the nation states and guided implementation of the era¬dication programmes until success was achieved. -

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.
