Book (stand-alone)Technical studyTraceability: a management tool for business and governments 2016Traceability is defined as the ability to trace the history, application or location of an item or activity by means of recorded identifications. this involves two main aspects: on the one hand, identification of the product by marking; and, on the other, the recording of data regarding the product all the way along the production, processing and distribution chain. The present publication will present a sample of these initiatives in order to show the advantages of efficient traceability that t akes account of the user’s aim and the environment in which the system will be operating. It is intended not only for the managers of large-scale enterprises, but also for the managers of community forests and for forest service officers with the task of developing a traceability system suited to their needs.

Book (series)Technical bookComment les cadres juridiques existants régissent la conversion des forêts en terres agricoles
Étude sur le bassin du Congo
2017Also available in:
La conversion des forêts en terres agricoles est actuellement la principale cause de déforestation dans le bassin du Congo. Cette publication examine trois pays du bassin du Congo (Gabon, Cameroun et République Démocratique du Congo), en analysant dans quelle mesure leurs cadres juridiques sont efficaces pour gérer la conversion des forêts à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur des zones autorisées. Elle souligne l'importance des plans nationaux d'utilisation des terres pour prévenir la conversion incontrôlée des forêts et analyse les règles et réglementations existantes régissant les changements d'affectation des terres et les permis de défrichement des forêts. Cette analyse permet de montrer comment et pourquoi ces règles et réglementations sont soit trop complexes soit incohérentes pour assurer une bonne gouvernance et une gestion durable des forêts dans cette région. -

No results found.In the early 1990s, FAO brought together an advisory group of specialists focused on issues of managing forests as common property. They urged FAO to strengthen the data available and its analysis. The group pointed out that there were many types of forest products and that frequently several community groups with different perceptions and rules for managing selected products were in any one forest at a given time. To understand the dynamics of forest use and management with this many variables, new tools were needed. This sentiment was echoed by FAO member countries who urged the development of a multidisciplinary and multilevel integrated database allowing comparison over time and between sites, as well as more nuance in interpretation. In this Working Paper the authors have drawn from their data to look at specific research hypotheses. The purposes of the original studies vary. Chapter 7 is built on researchers working as partners with Yuracare people to document their historical territory and its current usage. This issue is of great concern to the Yuracare, as the Bolivian government is demarcating land areas and wishes to be able to demonstrate their claims as well as have a basis for developing management plans.... Some studies have benefitted project planners and management by offering a better understanding of local use and rules as well as technical knowledge for the planning phase and over time monitoring the effects of project activity on the people as well as o n the trees. Other studies have been made in order to inform government policy. The fact that this is also an international network of researchers with centers in Uganda, Bolivia, Nepal, Senegal, and other countries means that there is a support group with which researchers may discuss questions and a bigger database from which to establish hypotheses and develop queries.

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. -
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.
