Published by: WMO ; 2011The Murcia Expert Meeting is based on the outcomes of the Regional Workshop on Indices and Early Warning Systems for Drought which was held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in December, 2009. At the Lincoln workshop, drought experts examined what indices are used for meteorological, agricultural and hydrological drought and developed the Lincoln Declaration on Drought Indices. There was a consensus agreement that the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) should be used to characterize meteorological droughts by all NMHSs around the world. Several other of the recommendations formt eh Lincoln Declaration included establishment of two working groups with the objective of recommending, by the end of 2010, indices for global use to cope with agricultural and hydrological droughts. In this regard, the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) is co-organizing with WMO the meetings of the Working Groups on Agricultural (Spain - June 2010) and Hydrological Droughts Indices ( India - August 2010) and the outcomes from all of these workshops on drought indices will be finalized in a chapter on drought risks for the 2011 UN Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction.

FAO, 2011La presente edición de El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación aborda el tema de Las mujeres en la agricultura: cerrar la brecha de género en aras del desarrollo.

FAO, 2011La présente édition de La situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture est consacrée au rôle de la femme dans l’agriculture et aux mesures à prendre pour combler le fossé hommes-femmes en vue de soutenir le développement. Dans de nombreux pays en développement, le secteur agricole n’est pas vraiment performant, en partie parce que les femmes n’ont pas accès aux mêmes ressources et opportunités que les hommes pour accroître leur production. La présente publication confirme, sans l’ombre d’un doute, que les objectifs du Millénaire sur l’égalité des sexes (OMD 3) et la pauvreté et la ...Permalink![]()

Положение дел в области продовольствия и сельского хозяйства 2010-2011 : женщины в сельском хозяйстве устранение гендерного разрыва в интересах развития
FAO, 2011Этот выпуск доклада «Положение дел в области продовольствия и сельского хозяйства» посвящен теме «Женщины в сельском хозяйстве: устранение гендерного разрыва в интересах развития». Сектор сельского хозяйства во многих развивающихся странах показывает низкие результаты, и одна из главных причин этого – то, что женщины не имеют равного доступа к ресурсам и возможностям, необходимым им для повышения производительности труда. В докладе убедительно подтверждается, что цели развития тысячелетия по гендерному равенству (ЦРТ-3) и продовольственной безопасности (ЦРТ-1) дополняют друг друга.PermalinkPermalink![]()

The key objectives of this priority area are to contribute to the eradication of hunger and malnutrition in Asia and the Pacific region in line with the targets of the World ...Permalink![]()
