DocumentNewsletterSeguimiento del Mercado del Arroz - Mayo de 2004 2004El pronóstico de la FAO relativo a la producción mundial de arroz en 2004 se ha aumentado marginalmente a 613 millones de toneladas, es decir 21 millones de toneladas más que en la última campaña y el volumen mayor registrado hasta ahora. Ahora bien, a esta altura del año el pronóstico es todavía muy provisional, dado que los resultados definitivos de la temporada dependerán en gran medida del calendario, alcance y distribución de las precipitaciones que se reciban durante el monzón as iático, que está recién comenzando.

NewsletterNewsletterSeguimiento del mercado del arroz - Noviembre de 2003 2003A pesar de un deterioro reciente de las perspectivas de la producción mundial de arroz con cáscara para esta temporada, se continúa previendo una recuperación de los bajos niveles de 2002 con el anticipo de alrededor de 3 por ciento de crecimiento a 591 millones de toneladas en la producción mundial para 2003. Gran parte del incremento de un año a otro se debería a la India, donde se anticipa un aumento de producción de alrededor de 18 por ciento. Asimismo, se anticipan aumentos de producción en varios otros países asiáticos, en particular, Bangladesh, la República Islámica de Irán, Myanmar, Pakistán, las Filipinas, Sri Lanka, Tailandia y Viet Nam. Esos aumentos harán más que compensar una esperada contracción en China, Japón y la República de Corea.

NewsletterNewsletterSeguimiento del Mercado del Arroz - Junio de 2003 2003De acuerdo con los resultados preliminares de las cosechas del hemisferio sur y las proyecciones de siembras en el hemisferio norte, el pronóstico tentativo para la producción total de arroz del mundo durante 2003 fija la cifra en 395 millones de toneladas (592 millones de toneladas en equivalente en arroz cáscara), es decir, 2 por ciento por encima del deprimido nivel del año pasado. No obstante, esta cifra es todavía muy preliminar ya que la producción final dependerá en gran medida de la oportunidad, volumen y distribución de las lluvias monzónicas en Asia, fenómeno que cumple una importante función en la producción mundial.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyImpacts of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture
Synthesis of current knowledge, adaptation and mitigation options
2018Also available in:
No results found.The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement recognizes the need for effective and progressive responses to the urgent threat of climate change, through mitigation and adaptation measures, while taking into account the particular vulnerabilities of food production systems. The inclusion of adaptation measures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector is currently hampered by a widespread lack of targeted analyses of the sector’s vulnerabilities to climate change and associated risks, as well as the opportunities and responses available. This report provides the most up-to-date information on the disaggregated impacts of climate change for marine and inland fisheries, and aquaculture, in the context of poverty alleviation and the differential dependency of countries on fish and fishery resources. The work is based on model projections, data analyses, as well as national, regional and basin-scale expert assessments. The results indicate that climate change will lead to significant changes in the availability and trade of fish products, with potentially important geopolitical and economic consequences, especially for those countries most dependent on the sector. -
