Synopsis (short abstract) Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) represents a threat to poultry industries worldwide and to people’s livelihoods, and a potential threat to human health. The international community has a vested interest in minimizing the spread of this disease. Countries may be under threat of introduction of avian influenza through exposure of poultry to wild birds, especially waterfowl. They may also be at risk from introduction of infected or contaminated poultry, poultry products or fomite s. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Organisation for Animal Health have prepared this manual to help national animal health authorities and other stakeholders prepare for a possible incursion of HPAI, detect disease as soon as possible and respond as rapidly as possible to contain the disease.

    Подготвеност при појава на високо патогена Авијарна Инфлуенца 2006
    Also available in:
    Високо Патогената Авијарна Инфлуенца (ВПАИ) претставува закана за светската живинарската индустрија и човековите приходи, како и потенцијална опасност за човековото здравје. Меѓународната заедница има огромен интерес за минимизирање на ширењето на оваа болест. Државите можат да бидат изложени на авијарна инфлуенца преку контакти на живината со дивите птици, особено, водните, пловни птици. Тие исто така можат да бидат изложени преку инфицирана и контаминирана живина, живинарски производи и предмети. Организацијата за храна и земјоделие при Обединетите Нации и Светската организација за животинско здравје го подготвија овој прирачник за да им помогне на одговорните и останатите одгледувачи на живина за евентуалната појава на ВПАИ, побрза детекција на болеста и брз одговор за спречување на болеста.Прирачникот содржи пректични совети за идентификација на болеста, патологија и дијагноза; детекција, одговорност и контролни стратегии; биосигурносни мерки за превенција од влегување на болеста. Прирачникот е неизмерен извор од корисни информации за секој кој е инволвиран во одгледување на живината и оние кои се занимаваат со животинското здравје.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
