Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTackling antimicrobial use and resistance in dairy cattle
Lessons learned in Sweden
2020Also available in:
This publication describes the long-term efforts of the Swedish dairy sector to keep animals healthy, thereby putting Swedish dairy farms at the top with regards to low use of antibiotics combined with high productivity. The Swedish success story rests on strong partnerships among farmer organizations, veterinary services, academia, and government agencies and ministries. This document is a tribute to the pioneers and current stakeholders for their sustained work in continuously improving animal health, welfare and productivity, including through the development and implementation of specific health programmes, the recording of production and disease data, the formulation of treatment guidelines and the surveillance and monitoring of antibiotic resistance and use. Key has been a bottom-up approach, allowing farmers' views and conditions to be considered before introducing interventions for limiting the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookIntroductory course to Google Earth Engine 2022
Also available in:
No results found.FAO Pakistan in collaboration with the FAO headquarters Geospatial Unit is inviting to an introductory course on Google Earth Engine with the objective to provide the basic skills to operate the platform, select, pre-process and analyze satellite imagery relevant to agriculture and food security, in particular for the identification of specific crops in the land and more broadly for land cover mapping, by using an automatic classification approach. The Workshop is thought for specialists in the technical Departmental Units of Agriculture and Food Security. It requires an understanding of the main satellite missions and basic concepts of Remote Sensing. Limited knowledge of scripting language (e.g. Python, R) is a plus. It has the structure of a theoretical presentation and hands-on exercises on the Google Earth Engine code editor. -
DocumentOther documentNutrition and food systems. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition of the Committee on World Food Security. September 2017 2018At its 42nd session in October 2015, the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) requested the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE) to prepare a report on Nutrition and Food Systems, to be presented at CFS 44 in October 2017. This topic is highly relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the implementation of the 2014 Rome Declaration on Nutrition, the subsequent Decade of Action for Nutrition, and the fulfilment of the right to adequate food. The purpose of this report is two-fold: (i) to analyse how food systems influence people’s dietary patterns and nutritional outcomes; and (ii) to highlight effective policies and programmes that have the potential to shape food systems, contribute to improved nutrition and ensure that food is produced, distributed and consumed in a sustainable manner that protects the right to adequate food for all. This report is illustrated by short case studies reflecting the wide variety of practical experiences in diff erent contexts. It also provides a set of action-oriented recommendations addressed to states and other stakeholders in order to inform CFS engagement in advancing nutrition and CFS contribution to the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016–2025).
