En El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentacion 2006 se examinan las problematicas y controversias que rodean a la ayuda alimentaria y se intenta buscar la forma de preservar su funcion humanitaria esencial a la vez que se reduce al minimo la posibilidad de efectos secundarios daninos . Con razon se ha atribuido a la ayuda alimentaria el merito de haber salvado millones de vidas; de hecho, es a menudo lo unico que se interpone entre las personas vulnerables y la muerte. Sin embargo, la ayuda alimentaria recibe duras criticas por ser una respuesta impulsada por los donantes que crea dependencia por parte de sus receptores y debilita a los productores agricolas y comerciantes locales, de quienes depende la seguridad alimentaria sostenible. Las demostraciones economicas relativas a estas cuestiones son sorprendentemente escasas, pero confirman que la oportunidad y el caracter selectivo de la ayuda alimentaria son fundamentales para alcanzar los objetivos inmediatos de seguridad alimentaria reduciendo al minimo el potencial de perjuicio. Las reformas del sistema internacional de ayuda alimentaria son necesarias, pero deberian abordarse con prudencia porque hay vidas que estan en juego. Se adjunta a esta publicacion el mini CD-ROM del Anuario estadistico de la FAO 2005-2006, Vol. 2/1, que contiene series cronologicas para 200 paises en espanol, arabe, chino, frances e ingles."

Panorama of Rural Poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean 2018, published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), addresses the important challenges faced by the region in developing its rural territories to achieve the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, particularly SDG 1 to end poverty in all its forms everywhere. After many years of progress, poverty and extreme rural poverty in the region have started to increase again. This is worrying news for countries of the region and the international community because, if they do not return to the path of rural poverty reduction, millions of people will be excluded from the opportunity to contribute to the development of their families, communities and countries. The 33 Member States of the United Nations in the region have pledged their commitment to eradicating rural poverty by 2030 and, despite the recent trend, it is still possible to achieve this goal. This report also highlights the persistence of significant gaps between rural and urban areas, which is incompatible with sustainable and equitable development. Of the 169 targets of the Sustainable Development Goals, 132 require actions that must be carried out in rural territories.
Advances in Food Research
Latin America and the Caribbean deviates from its path toward the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger. The number of undernourished people increased for the third consecutive year reaching 39.3 million, 6.1% of the population. The social and economic inequalities that characterize the region aggravate the problem of malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, such as the population living in poverty, children, women, indigenous peoples and rural inhabitants, tend to experience more severe problems of hunger and malnutrition. Inequality of malnutrition is also seen in gender. The problems of malnutrition in the region are the result of the profound changes that have affected its food systems, which determine the quantity, quality and diversity of food available for consumption, a transformation that has been driven by growing urbanization, changes in diets and new ways of producing and processing food. The solution to the problems of hunger and malnutrition in the region requires changes to its food systems.
This book presents new food production systems (for plants and animals) involving agrochemicals that increase in a controlled manner the bioactives content, under greenhouse conditions. Moreover, conception and design of new instrumentation for precision agriculture and aquiculture contributing in food production is also highlighted in this book.
