    “Capacity development for agricultural innovation systems”, implemented by FAO and Agrinatura from 2015 to 2019, supported the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) to improve the global coherence of capacity development for agricultural innovation. The project contributed to developing a common framework for a practical approach to capacity development for agricultural innovation, and piloted its application across eight countries. The approach is based on soft skills and the importance of process, as opposed to the mainstream paradigm based on developing technology and hard technical skills. This approach was found to be relevant to most of the 40 TAP members by helping to improve the coherence and impact of their capacity development activities. The common framework has strong potential for adoption beyond TAP members. However, it is important for future similar interventions to work on both functional and technical capacities simultaneously.

    No results found.
    The report 'The future of food and agriculture – Alternative pathways to 2050' explores three different scenarios for the future of food and agriculture, based on alternative trends for key drivers, such as income growth and distribution, population growth, technical progress in agriculture, and climate change. Building on the report 'The future of food and agriculture – Trends and challenges', this publication provides scenario-based quantitative projections to 2050 for food and agriculture. Quantitative evidence and qualitative assessments, shed light on possible strategic options for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of eradicating hunger, improving nutrition and ensuring that food and agricultural sectors become economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.

    Manuel de biosécurité dans les exploitations avicoles 2024

    Le manuel de biosécurité dans les exploitations avicoles vise à apporter un soutien essentiel à la république du Togo dans son effort résolu de maîtriser et de combattre la grippe aviaire. Ce document, d'une nature à la fois technique et pratique, s'adresse principalement aux éleveurs, aux Auxiliaires Villageois d'Élevage (AVE) et aux agents d’encadrement technique des éleveurs. Il a pour objet de définir un ensemble minimal de normes en matière de biosécurité, applicables à tous les producteurs de volaille. La biosécurité, concept intrinsèquement défini comme un ensemble de bonnes pratiques mises en œuvre dans le but de prévenir l'introduction et la propagation des maladies au sein des exploitations avicoles, se révèle être le moyen de prévention et de lutte le plus efficace contre la grippe aviaire et autres maladies contagieuses. Ce manuel s'enrichisse notamment par l'incorporation d'illustrations éloquentes, mettant en lumière aussi bien les bonnes et mauvaises pratiques en matière de biosécurité au sein des exploitations avicoles.

    Looking at edible insects from a food safety perspective
    Challenges and opportunities for the sector

    While insect consumption by humans or entomophagy has been traditionally practiced in various countries over generations and represents a common dietary component of various animal species (birds, fish, mammals), farming of insects for human food and animal feed is relatively recent. Production of this ‘mini-livestock’ brings with it several potential benefits and challenges. The objective of this document is to provide the reader with an overview of the various food safety issues that could be associated with edible insects. The intended audiences of this publication are food safety professionals, policymakers, researchers, insect producers as well as consumers. The regulatory frameworks that govern production, trade and consumption of insects in various regions are discussed. The document ends with elucidating some other major challenges, such as consumer acceptance and scaling up production, that the edible insect industry would need to overcome to have a more global reach.
