Decenio de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura Familiar 2019–28: Principales Resultados hasta 2024

 联合国家庭农业十年 2019–2028

Este trabajo parte de la premisa acerca de la vinculación entre la alimentación indus-trializada y las crisis alimentarias, que se traducen en graves violaciones al derecho humano a la alimentación. Postula que la realización efectiva del derecho humano a la alimentación se encuentra vinculada con la recuperación de los sistemas...

Agroecology is rapidly gaining momentum as a transformative approach to agriculture, blending ecological science with traditional and modern farming practices. Unlike conventional methods that often prioritize yield over sustainability, agroecology integrates ecological principles while considering societal and economic factors. This holistic perspective is driving a paradigm shift, influencing traditional research...

Una investigación del Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (Ipea) refuerza la importancia de programas como el PNAE para mejorar los índices nutricionales de la población y promover el desarrollo territorial local.

This report, published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), explores the promotion of bioeconomy through sustainable agricultural practices in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The analysis highlights the critical role of sustainable and circular bioeconomy in addressing environmental, social, and economic challenges, particularly in the...

The Food Systems Countdown Initiative aims to monitor the state of food systems transformation through relevant data, independent of any established monitoring processes.Such monitoring can help align decision makers around key priorities, incentivize action, hold stakeholders accountable, sustain commitment by demonstrating progress, and enable course corrections.The Initiative is producing annual...

Due to complex interactions, changes in any one area of food systems are likely to impact—and possibly depend on—changes in other areas. Here we present the first annual monitoring update of the indicator framework proposed by the Food Systems Countdown Initiative, with new qualitative analysis elucidating interactions across indicators. Since...

Undernutrition and low dietary quality remain widespread issues in Africa. As most rural households in the region are involved in farming, the diversification of own farm production could improve their access to nutritious foods. Here we use representative panel data from six African countries to estimate this effect across different...

The issue of policy coherence has gained growing significance in development discussions over the past few decades. It was also emphasized in the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and is highlighted in Sustainable Development Goal 17. Similarly, it has been noted by both experts and researchers that fragmented...

Women face a disproportionate burden of malnutrition and food insecurity. Research has shown that women's empowerment can buffer women against nutritional problems. This paper contributes to ongoing efforts to measure women's empowerment that are both context-sensitive and universal, focusing on the recently developed Women's Empowerment in Nutrition Index (WENI). Earlier...

Climate change and its’ associated weather variabilities and extremes are posing significant risks to aquaculture productivity, particularly in the coastal regions of Bangladesh. Concurrently, the increasing population and shifting consumption patterns are driving higher demand for aquacultural products. This study investigates the impact of floods, heavy rainfall, tidal surges, high...

Rice, while a staple food for half of the world’s population, is also a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily methane and nitrous oxide. With rice cultivation accounting for nearly 48% of all GHG emissions from croplands, solutions are urgently needed to address this global environmental challenge. A...

Rainfed agriculture in semi-arid regions is affected by variable rainfall patterns, resulting in low yields under conventional farming systems. To address this issue, cropping systems based on conservation agriculture were evaluated in 2 field experiments on 17 farmers’ fields in the semi-arid highlands of Queretaro, Mexico, from 2013 to 2020,...

1.1. The bioeconomy concept in political strategies The bioeconomy (BE) has gained increasing attention in research and policy debates over the last two decades. It has been intensively discussed and implemented in the EU and North America at the beginning of the Millennium. Since then, BE has become an increasingly debated subject...

Research on climate and conflict often emphasizes violence and its drivers, overlooking the prevalence of collaboration in shaping social relations. Addressing this gap, this study undertakes a comparative institutional analysis of community-level responses to climate threats in violence-prone settings. The research explores conditions that incentivize either cooperation or conflict, refraining...

The environmental concern of a country's population is an important prerequisite for addressing environmental problems, foremost reducing CO2 emissions and limiting global warming. In this paper, we analyze the development of environmental concern by using the newest wave of the environmental module of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) for 29 countries....

In recent years, the impact of microplastics on soil microorganisms and crop growth has gained significant attention. However, the effects of agricultural plastic films on crop growth and soil health in tobacco fields are not clear. In our study, we conducted field experiments to investigate the effects of six types...

Global growth is expected to hold steady at 2.7 percent in 2025-26. However, the global economy appears to be settling at a low growth rate that will be insufficient to foster sustained economic development. Emerging market and developing economies are set to enter the second quarter of the 21st century...
