Policy briefPolicy briefImprove small and medium scale poultry farms with 3-zone biosecurity implementation
Policy brief
2021Also available in:
No results found.The Indonesian poultry industry is a key sector for the national economy, supplying 65% of all animal protein and employing 10% of the national labor force. All over the country, though local production successfully copes with domestic demand, the potential for growth is high, consistent with expectations of rising GDP per capita. The market looks healthy and attractive, which has resulted in this gradual entry of new foreign groups. In past decades, the production process has evolved and modernized. However, bird flu still continues to be an endemic disease which is a barrier to the poultry industry development in Indonesia, especially the opportunities to export poultry products to other countries. Implementation of 3-zone biosecurity in poultry farms is one of the key recommendations from the Government of Indonesia in overcoming bird flu, but this is a need to encourage our commercial poultry farmers to maximally applied properly. -

Also available in:
No results found.Malpractices in poultry farms have great impact on public health and the environment. Unsafe disposal of dead birds from the farms is one of the major risk to be addressed. The intervention presented targets small and medium size farms to introduce a safe, easy and profitable way to dispose of dead birds. The methodology used to co-create the solution for the problem jointly with the beneficiaries in both private and public sector was a key for success. Composting of dead birds was chosen as the solution to test. Field intervention to test the solution was implemented to document the process and draw up recommendations for scale up. -
Policy briefPolicy briefAfrica Sustainable Livestock 2050: Presence and biosecurity practices of youth in poultry value chains
Evidence from urban and peri-urban subregions of Kenya and Uganda
2022Also available in:
No results found.This brief explores the presence and characteristics of youth working in the poultry sector through data collected in two urban and peri-urban subregions in Kenya and Uganda. Youth empowerment and employment have gained prominence in national and international policy agenda. The growing livestock sector has great potential to provide employment opportunities, but available evidence suggests that there is limited interest among young people in engaging in livestock activities. The sample includes mainly small and mid-size business-oriented entrepreneurs and not subsistence-oriented backyard poultry keepers. The data shows that the presence of youth involved in the poultry value chain with respect to their share in the total working age population is 16 to 32 percentage points lower in Kenya and 5 to 27 percentage points lower in Uganda. The share of young people is particularly low among producers, which may be due to high initial investment requirements. The average number of birds raised per year is lower among the age groups under 40 in Kenya, while differences in size of business are smaller in Uganda. The share of women is lower among young people along the entire value chain, which may be due to them being occupied with raising children and the lack of backyard poultry keepers in the sample. At the marketing node, considerably more young people have fixed stalls and use plastic or metal cages than their older colleagues. The data presented is on predominantly urban and peri-urban areas and the presence of youth would be probably lower in rural areas.

Book (stand-alone)Technical book粮农组织民间社会伙伴关系战略 2013粮农组织多年来一直在技术工作、实地应急行动、培训 及能力建设和最佳 农作规范的倡导等方面,与几百家民间社 会组织(非政府组织、社区组织、专业 协会、网络等等)保持 合作。过去几年,民间社会组织在协调、结构、覆盖面、 动员 和宣传能力方面均有所提升。此间,粮农组织也经历了管理变 革,修订了自 身的《战略框架》,并加大了权力下放的力度。因 此,有必要对现有 1999 年版的 粮农组织《关于与非政府组织 和民间社会组织开展合作的政策和战略》进行一次 审查。 本《战略》中,民间社会指在粮农组织的使命相关 领域中开展工作的非公 共部门参与方。《战略》不涉 及与学术界、科研院所或慈善基金会的伙伴关系, 因为 将由粮农组织的其它相关文件对它们另做处理。 粮食生产者组织因其特殊性质以及与粮农组织使命的特殊 关联,将做另行 处理。原则上,因为它们通常以营利为目的,所以 将被归入私营部门战略,除非 这些组织表示出不同意愿,并符合民 间社会组织相关标准。此类案例均将单独逐 一处理。 本战略明确了六大合作领域以及原理不同、运作方式不同 的两个层面的互 动:全球-总部层面和权力下放层面(区域、国家 和地方)。本 《战略》主要侧重 在权力下放层面与民间社会开展 合作。 在经过审议的《战略框架》中,粮农组织已明确 提出了消除贫困及粮食不 安全的五项战略目标。为 实现目标,粮农组织正在寻求扩大自身与同样致力于 此 类目标的民间社会组织之间的协作关系。

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
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.
