In this issue, we discuss the Global Bioenergy Partnership and the important work it is undertaking - in collaboration with governments and international organizations - to establish sustainability indicators for bioenergy projects. We also report on the Food for the Cities Initiative, an integrative approach to coordinating FAO's activities in urban and peri-urban areas and sharing best practices with other international and civil society organizations. Finally, we introduce the new water report: Climate change, water and food security.

Uno de los primeros productos que desarrolló AQUASTAT, en sus inicios en 1994, fue la metodología para la evaluación de recursos hídricos. Aunque ha sido muy útil, durante los 20 años que AQUASTAT ha usado esta metodología han aparecido algunos fallos y en ocasiones ha resultado ser demasiado complicada. Cada vez era más evidente que había que poner solución a algunos de los principales problemas. En consecuencia, en marzo de 2015 se implementaron algunos cambios en AQUASTAT que se resumen en este artículo. .

En el Marco Estratégico para la FAO 2000-2015 se establecen las cinco principales estrategias institucionales que ha de seguir la Organización. La estrategia D de la FAO, “Conservar y mejorar el uso sostenible de la base de recursos naturales”, se ha desglosado en dos objetivos estratégicos: D1 “Ordenación integrada de la tierra, el agua y los recursos pesqueros, forestales y genéticos” y D2 “Conservación, rehabilitación y desarrollo de los entornos expuestos a mayores riesgos”.

FAO opened the Nigeria Representation Office in 1978, and has since provided unabated support to the country in the formulation and implementation of policies, strategies, programmes and projects in food, agriculture and natural resources. The cooperation aims to improve food security and nutrition and reduce poverty in a broad-based, equitable and sustainable manner. In providing this assistance, FAO has always focused on enhancing the livelihood of smallholders, who form the bulk of the rural poor, in a way that is technically, economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.

L’intensification durable nécessite des systèmes d’irrigation plus efficaces et précis, ainsi que des systèmes d’exploitation agricole utilisant une approche écosystémique pour préserver les ressources en eau.
