Book (series)Technical studyIntroduction and spread of lumpy skin disease in South, East and Southeast Asia
Qualitative risk assessment and management
2020Also available in:
No results found.Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a vector-borne disease of cattle and Asian water buffalo that is included on the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) list of notifiable diseases. In July 2019 LSD was introduced to Bangladesh, China and India and then spread to Nepal and Bhutan and in 2020 to various provinces of China and India. A qualitative risk assessment was conducted to assess the likelihood of introduction and/or spread of LSD in 23 countries in South, East and Southeast Asia based on information available up to 31 October 2020. The economic impact of LSD for South, East and Southeast countries was estimated to be up to USD 1.45 billion in direct losses of livestock and production. These losses may be higher, due to the severe trade implications for infected countries. This document provides an overview of LSD control approaches, including prevention. The cost-effectiveness estimation demonstrates a strong economic justification for vaccination and advocates for a regional approach to harmonize control measures. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyVector control and the elimination of gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) - Joint FAO/WHO Virtual Expert Meeting, 5-6 October 2021
PAAT Meeting Report Series, No. 1
2022Also available in:
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a vector-borne parasitic disease transmitted by tsetse flies in sub-Saharan Africa. The gambiense form of the disease (gHAT) is endemic in western and central Africa and is responsible for more than 95 percent of the HAT cases reported annually. In the road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021–2030, WHO targeted gHAT for elimination of transmission by 2030. FAO supports this goal within the framework of the Programme against African Trypanosomosis (PAAT). In the framework of the WHO network for HAT elimination, FAO and WHO convened a virtual expert meeting to review vector control in the context of gHAT elimination. The experts included health officials from endemic countries and representatives from research and academic institutions, international organizations and the private sector. Seven endemic countries provided reports on recent and ongoing vector control interventions against gHAT at national level (i.e. Angola, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea and Uganda). The country reports were followed by thematic sessions on various aspects of vector control: tools, costs, community-based approaches, monitoring and reporting. Tsetse control was also discussed in the broader framework of One Health, and in particular in relation to the control of animal trypanosomosis. This report presents a summary of the findings and lessons learned. -

Book (series)FlagshipEl estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación 2020
Superar los desafíos relacionados con el agua en la agricultura
2020Limitaciones cada vez mayores del abastecimiento hídrico amenazan la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. Por consiguiente, se hace necesario actuar con urgencia a fin de lograr un uso más sostenible y equitativo del agua en la agricultura. La producción agrícola de regadío sigue siendo, de lejos, el principal usuario de agua dulce, pero la escasez de este recurso constituye un problema cada vez mayor debido al incremento de la demanda y a la competencia por su utilización. Al mismo tiempo, la agricultura de secano se enfrenta a la creciente variabilidad de las precipitaciones como consecuencia del cambio climático. Estas tendencias exacerbarán las disputas entre usuarios del agua y la desigualdad en el acceso a los recursos hídricos, especialmente para los pequeños agricultores, la población rural pobre y otras poblaciones vulnerables. En El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación 2020 se presentan nuevas estimaciones de la difusión de los problemas de escasez de agua en la agricultura de regadío y déficit hídrico en la agricultura de secano, así como del número de personas afectadas. Se constatan diferencias importantes entre los países y una considerable variación espacial dentro de ellos. A partir de estos datos, se examina la forma en que los países pueden determinar políticas e intervenciones apropiadas, las cuales dependerán de la naturaleza y la magnitud del problema, pero también de otros factores, como el tipo de sistema de producción agrícola, el nivel de desarrollo del país y sus estructuras políticas. Basándose en este examen, la publicación ofrece orientación para que los países puedan asignar prioridad a políticas e intervenciones destinadas a superar las limitaciones de la disponibilidad de agua en la agricultura y garantizar, al mismo tiempo, el acceso eficiente, sostenible y equitativo al recurso. -
Book (series)Technical studyInversión pública productiva en la agricultura para la recuperación económica con bienestar rural: un análisis de escenarios prospectivos para México
Economía del desarrollo agrícola de la FAO – Estudio técnico 11
2021Also available in:
El producto interno bruto (PIB) mexicano se contrajo de una forma sin precedentes como resultado de la crisis asociada a la COVID-19. Si bien el sector primario ha sido el más resiliente, la agricultura carece de un dinamismo más productivo y se caracteriza por su alta informalidad laboral y sus bajos salarios. Invertir más en la infraestructura productiva del sector, contribuiría a reactivar la economía y mejorar el bienestar de la población. La definición de una política de inversión pública debe basarse en la evidencia, como la que se aporta en este estudio. En los 21 escenarios prospectivos en que se simula una inversión pública en infraestructura productiva adicional en ramas de la agricultura, equivalente a un 0,25% del PIB (en torno a 50 000 millones de pesos) entre 2021 y 2023, se observa una mejoría en el PIB total y agroalimentario, así como en el bienestar de los mexicanos medido por el consumo privado y la reducción en la pobreza rural. Se recomienda focalizar la nueva inversión en ciertas ramas y financiarla preferiblemente mediante el endeudamiento externo. Según un ranking de las ramas receptoras de la inversión, el sector de la caña de azúcar se ubica en primera posición en tres de las cuatro variables consideradas (consumo privado, PIB total, PIB agroalimentario y pobreza rural). Los cereales, principalmente el maíz, pero también otros (arroz, sorgo, avena, cebada y otros cereales), y los cultivos más orientados a la exportación, como las flores y el café, aparecen también en lo alto del ranking. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
