El evento organizado por el PNUD, con la participación de la CEPAL, mostrará cómo Rosario y Belo Horizonte impulsan la seguridad alimentaria y la resiliencia climática a través de la agroecología urbana..

Silvopastoral systems (SPS) are recognized for their potential to sequester carbon (C) and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in livestock production. However, the extent to which small-scale dairy farms in the Andean region can offset emissions through SPS remains unclear. This study assessed the C capture of SPS to mitigate...

Summary for Policymakers of the Thematic Assessment Report on the Underlying Causes of Biodiversity Loss and the Determinants of Transformative Change and Options for Achieving the 2050 Vision for Biodiversity of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. The IPBES Transformative Change Assessment was initiated following a decision from...

This report offers an in-depth analysis of women’s roles and trade potential along the soybean-to-poultry value chain in the United Republic of Tanzania, within the context of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Developed under the FAO–ITC joint programme Empowering Women and Boosting Livelihoods through Agricultural Trade (EWAT), the...

There is a strong scientific consensus that human-caused greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions exacerbate climate change. Governmental policies must aim to reduce GHG emissions, because climate change is a threat to environmental and human health. This document follows on PAN’s 2023 report, Pesticides and Climate Change: A Vicious Cycle. 3 A...

This document corresponds to Chapter 1 of the IPBES thematic assessment of the underlying causes of biodiversity loss, determinants of transformative change and options for achieving the 2050 Vision for Biodiverty. Chapter 1 describes how biodiversity loss and nature’s decline are occurring through multipleinteracting crises and emphasizes that transformative change is...

Earth is home to a spectacular array of ecosystems, each with their own unique characteristics and benefits. Yet not all of them receive equal attention: Grasslands, for one, are often overlooked — despite their importance. The world's grasslands are arguably the single most extensive land cover on Earth's ice-free land surface. Grasslands or...

The International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) conducted a series of case studies on Tenure rights, Climate change impact on fishing communities and adaptation and resilience measures to be taken, Blue Economy and fisheries livelihoods, and Impact of marine protected areas (MPAs) and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs)...

FAO’s first Country Gender Assessment for Montenegro explores the status of women and men in agriculture and rural development, identifying persistent gender gaps and opportunities to advance equality in agrifood systems. Despite progress in aligning national legislation with international and EU standards, rural women remain underrepresented among landowners and decision-makers...

Scientific evidence indicates that chemical-intensive agriculture exacerbates climate change, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, while also making our agricultural systems more vulnerable to the stresses brought on by climate change.

El cerdo San Pedreño es una raza porcina criolla colombiana que se encuentra en riesgo de desaparecer a pesar de presentar potencial para los sistemas de producción campesinos de bajos ingresos por su adaptación, rusticidad y capacidad de aprovechar forrajes para su alimentación. El objetivo del estudio fue caracterizar los...

In agricultural systems, insect pest populations are often assessed using traps to survey adults, as adults are mobile and attracted to volatiles. While immature stages of insects (nymphs, larvae) are often most damaging, they can be difficult to sample, and management decisions targeting immatures must be based on adult sampling....

Food is the great connector. It is survival and nourishment. It is family and tradition. It is hope and resilience. It is love. Sharing food around the table is an experience that binds us all. This document presents five distinct agricultural livelihoods in five countries facing food crises: wheat farming...

Determining the spatial distribution of populations of Heilipus lauri and Stenoma catenifer, insects of economic and quarantine importance in avocado, is a useful information for designing and implementing integrated pest management plans. Aggregate spatial distribution is considered one of the most common patterns in nature, however, it has not been documented for these...

Cette revue de littérature fait état des conséquences économiques, environnementales et de santé publique causées par la présence et l’expansion difficilement contrôlables de plantes invasives en milieu agricole. Le cas du datura officinal ou datura stramoine (Datura stramonium L.) est détaillé en présentant les pistes de recherche en biocontrôle de cette...

This document corresponds to Chapter 3 of the IPBES thematic assessment of the underlying causes of biodiversity loss, determinants of transformative change and options for achieving the 2050 Vision for Biodiverty. Chapter 3 assesses the literature and a set of cases on how transformative change occurs.Based on this assessment, it identifies...

In pursuit of their net zero objectives, countries are using, or plan to use, a widely varied set of approaches. This richness of policy experiences provides valuable insights on the effects of different tools, which can be adapted to unique national circumstances, but international cooperation will be needed to ensure...
