Book (stand-alone)General interest bookSeguros Agrícolas para la Agricultura Familiar en América Latina y el Caribe - Lineamientos para su Desarrollo e Implementación 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Esta publicación busca responder las principales interrogantes sobre seguros agropecuarios para la agricultura familiar. Aborda aspectos conceptuales y operativos relativos a su diseño e implementación. Asimismo, presenta la experiencia de países de América Latina y el Caribe que cuentan con programas de aseguramiento para la agricultura familiar. Finalmente, presenta lineamientos a considerar en el desarrollo de seguros agropecuarios para la agricultura familiar. Está dirigida a todos los actores que desean integrar seguros agrícolas en sus estrategias integrales de gestión del riesgo. Se espera que la información que aquí se presenta contribuya a la discusión y aprendizaje sobre las opciones de aseguramiento más afines a cada contexto, y a promover las condiciones aptas para hacer de los seguros agropecuarios para la agricultura familiar un mecanismo de transferencia de riesgos viable y sostenible. -

No results found.El Proyecto GCP/RLA/133/EC “Información y Análisis para el Manejo Forestal Sustentable: Integrando Esfuerzos Nacionales e Internacionales en 13 Países Tropicales”, está siendo ejecutado por la FAO en colaboración con los gobiernos miembros y con el apoyo financiero de la Comisión Europea. Los objetivos del proyecto y los resultados esperados fueron presentados en la anterior reunión de la Comisión, que se llevó a cabo en Santa Fe de Bogotá, Colombia. Durante los últimos dos años, el Pr oyecto ha completado su primera fase y ha desarrollado un análisis del estado actual y de las recomendaciones de información forestal relacionada con las siguientes áreas temáticas: recursos forestales, antecedentes socioeconómicos, madera para energía, productos forestales no madereros (PFNM), productos de la madera, árboles fuera del bosque (AFB), cambio en el uso de la tierra, manejo y política forestal e instituciones. Las actividades se llevaron a cabo en 17 países: 13 financiados a través del proyecto y cuatro a través de fondos del programa regular de la FAO.

Book (stand-alone)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
Building climate resilience for food security and nutrition
2018New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting. Last year’s report showed that the failure to reduce world hunger is closely associated with the increase in conflict and violence in several parts of the world. In some countries, initial evidence showed climate-related events were also undermining food security and nutrition. This year’s report goes further to show that climate variability and extremes – even without conflict – are key drivers behind the recent rise in global hunger and one of the leading causes of severe food crises and their impact on people’s nutrition and health. Climate variability and exposure to more complex, frequent and intense climate extremes are threatening to erode and reverse gains in ending hunger and malnutrition. Furthermore, hunger is significantly worse in countries where agriculture systems are highly sensitive to rainfall, temperature and severe drought, and where the livelihood of a high proportion of the population depends on agriculture. The findings of this report reveal new challenges to ending hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition. There is an urgent need to accelerate and scale up actions that strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity of people and their livelihoods to climate variability and extremes. These and other findings are detailed in the 2018 edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World. -

Key findings
2020This publication contains the main findings of the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 (FRA 2020). The data in FRA 2020 have been obtained through a transparent, traceable, reporting process and a well- established network of officially nominated national correspondents. The information provided by FRA presents a comprehensive picture of the world's forests and the ways the resource is changing. Such a clear global picture supports the development of sound policies, practices and investements affecting forests and forestry. -
