도시에서 큰 나무는 오염물질과 미세먼지를 제거하는데 매우 효과적입니다. 나무 한 그루는 공기중의 이산화탄소를 150kg까지 흡수할 수 있어 기후변화를 완화하는 데 기여할 수 있습니다. 나무들은 식물과 동물에게 서식처와 음식을 제공하고 보호함으로써 도시 생물다양성을 증진시킵니다. 미래 세대를 위해 지금 나무를 심어야 합니다.

Dans toutes les villes en Afrique se sont développés des modes spécifiques de transport qui jouent un rôle fondamental dans la redistribution des produits alimentaires intermarchéss et dans l’approvisionnement de tout le secteur informel marchand. Ces modes de transport non mécanisés ou mécanisés offrent un service parfaitement adapté aux petits volumes traités et aux capacités financières réduites des différents intervenants, grossistes comme détaillants. Ils jouent par conséquent un rôle essentiel dans le maintien de faibles coûts de redistribution intra-urbaine.

Los grandes árboles de las ciudades son excelentes filtros para los contaminantes urbanos y las pequeñas partículas. Un árbol puede absorber hasta 150 kg de CO2 al año, secuestrar carbono y en consecuencia mitigar el cambio climático. Los árboles proporcionan habitat, alimentos y protección a plantas y animales, aumentando la biodiversidad urbana. ¡Plantar árboles hoy es clave para las generaciones futuras!

At the request and with the support of the Japanese Governament, FAO has compiled experiences of livestock keeping fom different parts of the world, categorized by production systems, to make it easier for interested people to select ideas for their own conditions. This document presents a sample of such technologies intended for livestock keeing in urban and peri-urban areas. It describes the livestock production system in traditional sectors and identifies constraints.

Escalating urban poverty levels in many developing countries and countries in transition have exacerbated the alarming status of food availability and accessibility. Poor urban consumers often reside in the most remote, deprived areas which tend to be eglected by local authorities. Their food security requires specific attention. The challenge is to improve food supply and distribution systems efficiency and dynamism. This should be achieved through effective, concerted and sustainable interventions.

This paper contains the main results of a FAO study on staple food prices and real wages in Afghanistan during the period 1996-2002 based on information collected weekly by WFP in all major cities (Kabul, Herat, Jalalabad, Mazar-e-Sherif and Faizabad).

Los sistemas modernos de distribución de alimentos tienen la tendencia a desarrollarse en ciertas ciudades en desarrollo y en transición económica, pero las formas tradicionales de abastecimiento y de distribución, que en muchos casos son informales, todavía tienen un rol importante porque responden de mejor manera a las necesidades de las familias pobres. Además, desempeñan el papel de generadoras de empleo y de ingresos, así como también de productos, bienes y servicios alimentarios adaptados a las exigencias particulares de los consumidores urbanos.

This document reports on the regional consultation for Southern America (including Mexico), held in Brasilia on 20 and 21 of May 2010 with the support of the Government of Brazil and preceded by a civil society meeting composed of organizations integrating the International NGO/CSO Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty (IPC), whose recommendations have been annexed at this document.

Small-scale forest-based processing enterprises comprise an important, but neglected, part of the forestry and forest industries sector. They process a large part of the raw materials from the forest and supply some of the main markets for forest products, in particular in the rural areas of developing countries.
