BookletPosition paperConsiderations for competent authorities and livestock industries on use of African swine fever vaccines (Genotype II) to enhance disease control 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Once confined to sub-Saharan Africa, African swine fever (ASF) has now become a global panzootic, threatening food security, livelihoods, international trade and ecosystem health across multiple continents. In the absence of a commercially available vaccine, countries have relied heavily on movement controls and biosecurity, often at significant economic, environmental and animal welfare costs. With promising ASF vaccines on the horizon, this report offers timely and critical guidance for veterinary authorities and stakeholders across the pig value chain to inform the responsible and effective use of vaccination within a broader, sustainable ASF control strategy, tailored to their unique context. -

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.

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.
