Book (series)Technical studyWater law in selected European countries, Vol. II (Cyprus, Finland, the Netherlands, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Yugoslavia) 1983
Also available in:
No results found.This study is about the rational management and protection of this most important of resources. On the one hand, it is intended as a further contribution towards a global inventory of national experiences in the field of water resources management. On the other, it is an effort to educate by example; to provide a guide to those who want to know how others are coping with the complexities of managing and protecting water resources. In the latter context it is hoped that the reader will find this study especially useful. Although the subject matter is, in general terms, the water law of European countries, the countries themselves have been selected in a way intended to provide a broad cross section of how water resources are managed in wet (Finland) and arid (Cyprus) climates; how they are managed in the face of the constant threat of seawater intrusion (Netherlands) and how they are dealt with under a federalized management regime (Yugoslavia). In addition, we have included the example of legislation intended to facilitate the management and protection of an enormous variety of water resources over a vast area affected by climatic extremes (USSR). In short, it is hoped that the study will satisfy a variety of appetites for knowledge. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical reportFAO CROP ASSESSMENT MISSION TO THE KOSOVO PROVINCE OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA - 27 January 2000 2000
Also available in:
In August 1999, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission to the Kosovo Province of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia reported significant reduction in the Province's agricultural output in 1999 due to civil unrest, which had been prevalent in some areas since March 1998 but escalated throughout most of the Province in the period between March to early June 1999. The Mission noted that the losses incurred would have both nutritional and economic consequences for the population who woul d remain heavily reliant on external assistance to meet basic food needs at least until the spring of 2000. Reducing the dependence of the Kosovo population on food aid in 1999/2000 depends largely on the speed of recovery and rehabilitation in the agriculture sector. In June 1999 FAO established an Emergency Coordination Unit in Pristina to ensure that a coherent and technically sound agricultural assistance programme is implemented in Kosovo, through the coordination of the various partne rs involved in emergency agricultural relief operations. In addition, FAO initiated various project activities that address in a comprehensive manner the needs for assistance in the agricultural sector, including supply of fertilizer, wheat and vegetable seeds, fielding of agricultural experts, establishment of a seed quality control laboratory, repair of farm machinery and livestock vaccination. -

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. -

贸易与粮食安全：更好地平衡国家重点与集体利益
2015全球农产品和粮食产品贸易已在最近几十年取得快速增长，各国作为出口或进口方越来越多地参与这一贸易进程。这种趋势预计将在今后几十年中持续。因此，贸易将在全球各区域对粮食安全的程度和性质产生越来越重要的影响。我们面临的挑战就是确保农产品贸易的扩大能对消除饥饿、粮食不安全和营养不良起到促进作用，而不是阻碍作用。 本版《农产品市场状况》旨在缓解目前各方在农产品贸易对粮食安全产生的影响以及如何管理农产品贸易以确保贸易开放度的增加能惠及所有国家等问题上出现的观点两极分化现象。本书通过就一系列话题举证和说明，努力促成各方就政策选择开展有实证依据的辩论，并在政策选择过程中努力实现必要的改进。 -
