NewsletterNewsletterFall Armyworm Control in Action Newsletter, June 2021 - Issue #4 2021

No results found.Fall Armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) is a pest originating in the Americas: it can fly over 100 km per day; it feeds on over 80 hosts; and a female moth can deposit 1 000 eggs during its life. Challenges in mitigating FAW damage include, among others, lack of the following: coordination at global, regional and national levels; effective monitoring and control techniques; and effective phytosanitary measures and capacity at national level. The Global Action for Fall Armyworm Control (GA, 2020-2022) was launched by FAO Director-General QU Dongyu on 4 December 2019 with a mandate for a strong and coordinated approach to strengthen prevention and sustainable pest control capacities. The GA focuses on Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Near East, where an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy will be implemented in countries with significant pest presence, and a prevention strategy will be conducted in areas with limited or no distribution of the pest. The GA has continued to support countries in managing FAW throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by conducting webinars and virtual trainings on FAW monitoring and management and by implementing activities where possible. -

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also 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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookKyrgyzstan Value Chain Gap Analysis 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Though the role of agriculture and food industry sectors in the economy of Kyrgyzstan has steadily decreased over the years, the country still greatly relies on these sectors. Currently the growth in agriculture, as well as in the overall economy, stagnates mainly because of political volatility, economic shocks, and frequent natural disasters. FAO and major donors contribute to the development of agriculture value chains. The goal of this policy paper is to try to consolidate the information on countrywide value chain development gathered from various open sources and based on materials collected in field missions by FAO officers, with a particular emphasis on the potato value chain in the Issyk-Kul region. The recommendations provided in the paper will assist the FAO country office and the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic in decision-making and will inform other development organisations operating in the country about major value chain development activities. The first part of the paper examines the overall situation in Kyrgyzstan with a focus on the agriculture sector, food quality, and food safety systems. It reviews related legislation and the environment for doing business. The paper examines existing support measures for agriculture and covers the banking sector and trade policy. In addition, the paper describes main value chain actors and international development programmes. The second part of the study overviews the potato value chain in the Issyk-Kul region. The final part provides recommendations on both selected and countrywide value chain development and closely examines ways of improving seed availability, marketing, and ecological tourism. This section also provides options for vitalisation of a non-functioning starch factory in Ak-Suu and recommends transforming logistics centres into food hubs. The recommendations are addressed to FAO, the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, major donors, farmers and their associations, and other business entities. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The 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.
