Book (stand-alone)Rural transport of food products in Latin America and the Caribbean 2004
Also available in:
Transportation is fundamental for the development of human activities, especially production and trade-related activities, including the production and trade of agricultural products. The swiftness and cleanliness of transport have a direct impact on food availability, given the special nature of food of agricultural origin, which is always to some extent perishable. Sanitation, food safety and the economy in general all come into play here, especially the cost structure of the supply chains and the final price of food products. This document presents case studies drawn from 17 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. Duly adjusted and adapted, they may also be useful for an interpretation of transportation problems in other parts of the world. The study covers the region of Central America and Panama (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama), the Expanded MERCOSUR countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and U ruguay), and the Andean Pact countries (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela). One country from each of these three regions is also reviewed in detail. -
BookletFoot-and-mouth disease
Quarterly report, October–December 2023
2024Also available in:
No results found.During the last three months, the World Reference Laboratory for Foot-and-Mouth Disease (WRLFMD) has reported test results for samples received from Israel, Pakistan, Palestine, Thailand and Türkiye. There have also been new sequence submissions from Algeria (ANSES, France), Botswana (BVI, Botswana), Ethiopia (BVI, Botswana) and India. Data for samples from Türkiye demonstrate how the SAT2/XIV topotype has recently spread within Anatolia, where 30 further outbreaks due to this lineage have been detected in the country during this quarter. Elsewhere in the Near East, samples from the O/ME-SA/PanAsia-2ANT-10 sub-lineage have been detected in Israel and Palestine. Data presented at the GFRA meeting in November indicate that viruses from the A/EURO-SA lineage continue to be detected within Egypt. Vaccine matching is now underway using a selection of historical viruses from South America (Argentina, Plurinational State of Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela) which have been provided by PANAFTOSA (Brazil) to help understand whether foot-and-mouth disease vaccines will provide protection against this exotic lineage that was first detected during 2022 (as well as O/EURO/SA that was also detected in Egypt in 2022). This report also presents analyses of sequences for diverse serotype Asia 1 viruses circulating in India, representing different two named genotypes including the first detection of genotype IX in the country. -

Also available in:
No results found.FAO held, with the support of France, the Swiss Development Cooperation and the Foreign Office of Agriculture of Switzerland, the International Symposium on Agroecology for Food Security and Nutrition at its headquarters in Rome on 18 and 19 September 2014 and a side-event on the Symposium during COAG on 30 September 2014. The Symposium was of a scientific and technical nature with a High Level Segment in the afternoon of the second day. Overall the Symposium can be considered a very successful event, during which FAO took the responsibility of providing a neutral forum for discussion. This report provides an overview of the Symposium and the COAG side-event.Read the reports and other materials from other Meetings on Agroecology for Food Security and Nutrition :
