FAO-OIE AU/IBAR-IAEA Consultative Group on Contagious Bovine Preuropneumonia. Third meeting, Rome, 12-14 November 2003
2004Also available in:
No results found.The main objective of the Consultative Group on Contagious Bovine Preuropneumonia (CBPP) is to foster collaboration among the various stakeholders on CBPP disease management and to provide the technical pltaform for discussions and policy direction for adaptive research relating to various aspects of CBPP disease. The Third Cosultative Gropu meeting held in Rome, Italy from 12 to 14 November 2003, was attended by a wide array of CBPP experts from field veterinary services, diagnostic laboratorie s, policy-makers, international partner institutions, research and international reference laboratories and FAO Animal Production and Health staff. -
ProjectFactsheetEmergency Technical Support to Control the Spread of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in Namibia - TCP/NAM/3902 2024
Also available in:
No results found.On 28 February 2022, the Directorate of Veterinary Services (DVS) detected outbreaks of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in the Ncamangoro and Musese Constituencies of Kavango West region in Namibia. Following the Animal Health Act No. 1 of 2011, the DVS conducted outbreak investigations and implemented control measures. These measures included collecting samples for laboratory analysis, mobilizing resources, conducting intensive surveillance, engaging farmers and stakeholders, and restricting livestock movement in and out of affected areas. The Central Veterinary Laboratory (CVL) confirmed five CBPP positive cases, with initial investigations reporting 15 cattle kraals affected, 60 clinical cases and 45 mortalities. Subsequent cases were reported in the Oshikoto, Ohangwena and Omusati regions, further raising the number of cases, which are believed to be underrepresented due to capacity limitations. The emergency, which arose amid economic challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine Russia war, impacting government spending, heavily affected an already weakened communal area relying on livestock. The CBPP outbreak threatened the community's primary asset, necessitating comprehensive disease control and resilience building-measures. -
Book (series)ProceedingsCBPP Round Table: Can CBPP be eradicated? 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is one of the most important infectious diseases of cattle in Africa with serious implications on food security and livelihoods. The Fifth consultative meeting was organized to address the dynamics of CBPP with a view to lay out the technical and policy approaches for sustainable progressive control and ultimately eradication of the disease. The report of the meeting will gather the outcome of the deliberations of the experts and main rec ommendations and conclusions of the meeting. The knowledge and scientific information that will be disseminated through this publication contribute to capacity development and resilience building for the wellbeing of the vulnerable populations in countries affected by CBPP. The scope of work in the proposed report falls under the Major Area of Work FCC/EMPRES of the FAO’s Strategic Objective 5 “Increase the Resilience of Livelihoods to Threats and Crises” with signif icant contribution to the Organizational outcomes 3 and 4 under this objective.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Insecurity in the World (SOFI) 2015
Meeting the 2015 international hunger targets: taking stock of uneven progress
2015This year´s annual State of Food Insecurity in the World report takes stock of progress made towards achieving the internationally established Millennium Development Goal (MDG1) and World Food Summit hunger targets and reflects on what needs to be done, as we transition to the new post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda. The report reviews progress made since 1990 for every country and region as well as for the world as a whole. Progress towards the MDG 1 target, however, is assessed not only by measuring undernourishment, or hunger, but also by a second indicator – the prevalence of underweight children under five years of age. Progress for the two indicators across regions and over time, is compared, providing insights into the complexity of food security. Overall progress notwithstanding, much work remains to be done to eradicate hunger and achieve food security across all its dimensions. The 2015 report not only estimates the progress already achieved, but also identifies r emaining problems, and provides guidance on which policies should be emphasized in the future. Key factors that have determined success to date towards food security and nutrition goals are identified. The list of factors – economic growth, agricultural productivity growth, markets (including international trade) and social protection – is by no means exhaustive. The report also shows how protracted crises, due to conflict or natural disasters, have deleterious effects on progress in hunger redu ction. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018 (SOFIA)
Meeting the sustainable development goals
2018The 2018 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture emphasizes the sector’s role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and measurement of progress towards these goals. It notes the particular contributions of inland and small-scale fisheries, and highlights the importance of rights-based governance for equitable and inclusive development. As in past editions, the publication begins with a global analysis of trends in fisheries and aquaculture production, stocks, processing and use, trade and consumption, based on the latest official statistics, along with a review of the status of the world’s fishing fleets and human engagement and governance in the sector. Topics explored in Parts 2 to 4 include aquatic biodiversity; the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture; climate change impacts and responses; the sector’s contribution to food security and human nutrition; and issues related to international trade, consumer protection and sustainable value chains. Global developments in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, selected ocean pollution concerns and FAO’s efforts to improve capture fishery data are also discussed. The issue concludes with the outlook for the sector, including projections to 2030. As always, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience, including policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
