This paper outlines the importance of tracking adaptation in the context of the implementation of the Paris Agreement and provides a flexible and consistent indicator framework for tracking adaptation in agricultural sectors (including agriculture, forestry, and fisheries and aquaculture) at national level. The framework is based on the recognition that adaptation should be tracked by analyzing a number of different indicators across agricultural sub-sectors.

Thirty-eight pesticides were evaluated for toxicity and residues at the 2017 Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues (JMPR). This included 8 new compounds and 5 compounds that were due for re-evaluation. The report contains recommendations on maximum pesticide residue limits and general principles for dietary risk assessment. These recommendations are proposed for use by governments and other interested parties. The JMPR report and evaluations are the only global reviews available of pesticide residue data.

Against a global backdrop of climate change, widespread food insecurity, deforestation and forest degradation, this paper highlights the role of sustainable woodfuel in improving food security. It provides insights into how this role can be strengthened at all stages of production, trade and use, particularly for the many vulnerable groups who depend on woodfuel. With adequate policy and legal frameworks in place, woodfuel production and harvesting can be sustainable and serve as a major source of green energy. In addition, the widespread availability of woodfuel, and enormous market for it, present opportunities for employment and for sustainable value chains.

This workshop covered partnerships, sponsorship and technical assistance to promote monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS); new MCS technologies and methodologies; case studies on MCS use in indigenous fishing communities and archipelago nations; preparation for implementation of the Port State Measures Agreement; presentations on instruments to fight illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing; and much more.

Desde la decada de 1990, las transformaciones rurales han ayudado a millones de personas a superar el umbral de la pobreza aun permaneciendo en las zonas rurales. El desarrollo de las economias rurales ayuda a crear empleo para los habitantes, quienes consideran que la migracion a las zonas urbanas es el unico camino hacia una vida mejor. Para los paises que se quedaron atras en los procesos de transformacion, el informe de 2017 de El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentacion mantiene que todavia hay esperanza. La publicacion muestra como aprovechando el potencial de los sistemas alimentarios y conectando las ciudades y pueblos con las zonas rurales circundantes, las transformaciones rurales inclusivas son todavia posibles. Ademas, estas son necesarias para alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de poner fin al hambre y la pobreza.

La comunidad internacional se ha comprometido a poner fin al hambre y a todas las formas de malnutricion en el mundo para el ano 2030. ?Pero podemos superar los desafios que obstaculizan el cumplimiento de este objetivo? El informe de este ano explica como la creciente incidencia de conflictos en el mundo afecta a la seguridad alimentaria y la nutricion, e ilumina el camino hacia la construccion de la paz y la seguridad alimentaria para todos. Gracias a la colaboracion liderada por la FAO con el Fondo de las Naciones Unidas para la Infancia (UNICEF), la Organizacion Mundial de la Salud (OMS), el Fondo Internacional de Desarrollo Agricola (FIDA) y el Programa Mundial de Alimentos (PMA), este informe representa un paso importante en el seguimiento de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutricion a nivel mundial.

The international community has committed to ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. But can we overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of meeting this target? The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2017 offers some answers. This year's edition focuses specifically on the dramatic effects that ongoing conflicts are having on levels of food insecurity and malnutrition across the world, and sets out a path to help build peace and food security for all. Thanks to the collaboration of five key UN agencies, with WHO and UNICEF joining IFAD and WFP as partners under FAO's lead, this report is a first step towards a comprehensive global analysis of the links between food security and nutrition.

Depuis les annees 1990, les transformations rurales ont permis a des millions de personnes de sortir de la pauvrete tout en restant dans les zones rurales. Revitaliser les economies rurales contribue a creer des emplois pour les personnes vivant en milieu rural, leur offrant ainsi une alternative a la migration qui nait souvent de la quete d'une vie meilleure. Pour les pays restes a la marge de ces transformations, le rapport 2017 de La situation mondiale de l'alimentation et de l'agriculture est porteur d'espoirs. Il indique en effet que des transformations inclusives peuvent etre realisees en exploitant le potentiel des systemes alimentaires et en reconnaissant le role des villes moyennes et petites dans la planification integree urbaine et rurale. De telles transformations sont indispensables a la realisation des objectifs de developpement durable relatifs a l'eradication de la pauvrete et de la faim.
