Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport – A critical assessment and analysis of the 2012 and 2016 IPPC general surveys 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The IPPC Implementation Review and Support System (IRSS) has held two general surveys among national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to review contracting parties’ implementation of the IPPC and its standards. Data from both surveys that took place in 2012 and 2016 were analysed separately (IPPC Secretariat, 2014; 2017), but a comparative data analysis was never performed. As part of the preparations for the third general survey, the IRSS decided to re-analyse the existing data and conduct a comparative analysis, in order to establish the value of the collected information and determine which elements of the previous questionnaires to retain. Specifically, the objectives of this study were to:- critically assess the questionnaires of the 2012 and 2016 surveys;
- evaluate the comparability between the 2012 and 2016 questionnaires;
- review the existing analysis reports;
- re-analyse the 2012 and 2016 results;
- conduct a comparative analysis of the 2012 and 2016 data to establish whether changes in implementation of the Convention can be determined.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -
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.
