Book (series)Technical reportInvesting in trade digitalization: the case of ePhyto 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Global trade in plants and plant products is rapidly expanding – more than doubling in some cases – and set to grow another 11 percent by 2032. Yet, many countries still employ mostly manual rather than electronic means for issuing the phytosanitary certificates required to trade goods internationally. Relying on paper slows applications for and delivery of these certificates. They are not easily corrected when last-minute changes must be made and can be lost, causing days-long delays at border crossings, jeopardizing the freshness of highly perishable goods and increasing refrigeration needs. This – together with transporting printed certificates to and from customs offices – increases greenhouse gas emissions. Electronic phytosanitary certificates – ePhytos – are easier to use, cheaper, safer and more responsive to changing circumstances. They speed up exports, increasing trade between countries. This report examines how the ePhyto solution can facilitate the export trade of four countries where the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) operates: Serbia, Egypt, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. It is part of the Directions in Investment series under the FAO Investment Centre's Innovation and Knowledge for Investment (IK4I) programme. -

Book (series)Working paperZero-deforestation commitments: A new avenue towards enhanced forest governance?
Forestry Working Paper 3
2018Also available in:
No results found.The zero-deforestation movement has gained considerable momentum as governments and companies enter into commitments to curb deforestation. The most innovative are multi-stakeholder initiatives, where governments and international organi- zations have joined with the private sector and civil society organizations in making commit- ments to reduce deforestation. These pledges have created opportunities for improved forest governance by envisaging the private sector at the centre of the movement. They have also encouraged a broader understanding of the drivers and and consequences of deforestation, and how these can be more realistically addressed.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
Also available in:
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all. -
