Nota de Política Sobre Negocios Inclusivos

A pesar de la creciente popularidad de los Modelos de Negocios Inclusivos, hay una falta de enfoques prácticos sobre la forma de implementar, monitorear y evaluar los mismos. Dos metodologías que han ganado relevancia en el mundo de la cooperación son LINK/CIAT y FAO/MNI. Ambas buscan la vinculación de pequeños productores al sector privado, bajo un enfoque deinclusividad y competitividad, con el propósito de generar empleos dignos, aumentar los ingresos y mejorar las condiciones de vida de las familiasrurales. En Honduras y Nicaragua los pequeños productores de hortalizas y de cacao juegan un rol importante en la economía nacional y tienen un impacto social [...]

World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Agriculture: Export Competition after the Nairobi Ministerial Conference. Trade Policy Technical Notes No. 16. WTO Negotiations

The Ministerial Decision on Export Competition introduced prohibitions to agricultural export subsidies. It foresees the elimination of export subsidies in different timeframes for developed and developing countries. Specific exceptions have been agreed upon for some products and for particular developed and developing members. The Decision also covers the other three elements (namely Export Credits and Guarantees, International Food Aid and State Trading Enterprises) of the Export Competition pillar. While the elimination of export subsidy entitlements is not expected to induce changes in existing policies, it will, however, prevent future use of the measure.

Adoption of Climate Technologies in the Agrifood Sector. Methodology. Directions in Investment. FAO Investment Centre

The food production and supply chain consumes about 30 percent of total end-use energy globally, and contributes to over 20 percent of total annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (excluding emissions or sinks from land use change). A growing worldwide population, changing diets and growing economic development will all serve to increase competition for land, water and energy resources – which already face problems of environmental degradation and, in some cases, scarcity. To address these challenges, agrifood systems at every scale, from the small family farm to the vertically integrated corporate farm level, will have to become more efficient by using [...]
