Also available in:
No results found.Value chain studies, including production system and market chain studies, are essential to value chain analysis, which when coupled with disease risk analysis is a powerful tool to identify key constraints and opportunities for disease control based on risk management in a livestock production and marketing system. Several production system and market chain studies have been conducted to support disease control interventions in South East Asia. This practical aid summarizes experiences and less ons learned from the implementation of such value chain studies in South East Asia. Based on these experiences it prioritizes the required data for the respective purpose of a value chain study and recommends data collection as well as data analysis tools.This practical aid is intended as an adjunct to the FAO value chain approach and animal diseases risk management guidelines document. Further practical advice is provided for more effective use of value chain studies in South and South East Asia as part of animal health decision support.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureUsing unmanned aerial vehicles to improve post-disaster assessment and validation of agricultural damages in the Philippines
Enhancing monitoring for disaster resilience, preparedness and response in a context prone to hydro-meteorological hazards
2020Also available in:
No results found.In 2015, the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) collaborated to pilot an unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)-based methodology for pre- and post-disaster assessment in the Bicol and Davao Regions in order to mainstream innovative ways to enhance Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in the agriculture sector. As of 2019, all DA- Regional Field Offices (RFOs) are equipped and capable of operating fixed-wing or multi-rotor UAVs, which have been used in numerous areas affected by disasters. This good practice fact sheet looks at how UAVs contribute to strengthening disaster resilience in the Philippines.
