Los recursos genéticos para la alimentación y la agricultura tienen no sólo un valor real, sino también potencial, para la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional y los medios de vida. Sin embargo, la biodiversidad, y en particular la diversidad genética se está perdiendo a un ritmo alarmante.
La Comisión es el único foro permanente en el que los gobiernos discuten y negocian asuntos relacionados con la diversidad biológica para la alimentación y la agricultura. Los principales objetivos de la Comisión son asegurar la conservación y el uso sostenible de los recursos genéticos para la alimentación y la agricultura, así como una justa y equitativa distribución de los beneficios derivados de su uso para las generaciones presentes y futuras.
The extent of the world’s forest continues to decline as human populations continue to grow and demand for food and land increases. Implementing sustainable forest management practices requires sound policies and positive returns on investment to encourage adoption. Consult the latest Global Forest Resources Assessment 2015 and take a look at how the world’s forests are changing.

Food Security and Agriculture face major challenges under climate change, in terms of expected negative impacts on productivity as well as implementation of sectoral actions to limit global warming. Agriculture's greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise – although not as fast as emissions from other human activities. Better regional and national data on emissions from farming, livestock-raising, fisheries and forestry can help countries identify opportunities for reducing emissions while addressing their food security, resilience and rural development goals – and gain access to global funding to pursue them.
The new FAOSTAT emissions database represents the most comprehensive knowledge base on agricultural greenhouse gas emissions ever assembled. Updated annually, it provides a global point of reference on emissions and mitigation opportunities in the sector.
