    Antibiotic use in horticulture and crop production in India
    A review
    2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Antibiotics have been used in agriculture since the 1950s to control bacterial diseases in high-value crops, with over 39 countries adopting this practice. In India, growing misuse and overuse of antibiotics in agriculture raise concerns due to potential public health risks, particularly antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This technical brief explores antibiotic use in India's agriculture, examining types used, regulatory gaps, and impacts on health and the environment. It also compares usage across agriculture sectors and offers recommendations to curb misuse and mitigate AMR. The aim is to inform policy and promote responsible antibiotic use in Indian agriculture.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    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.

    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.
