Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPrevention of accumulation of obsolete pesticide stocks 1995These guidelines were prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) under project GCP/INT/572/NET: “Prevention and Disposal of Unwanted Pesticide Stocks in Africa and the Near East”, funded by the Government of the Netherlands. Despite the limited geographical scope of the project, the guidelines are considered generally applicable and of interest to many countries, aid agencies and the pesticide industry. They have been published as provisional because they have not yet received approval from the member countries of FAO. In view of the significant interest expressed in the subject, it has been decided to make the present version available as a project publication. Interested parties are invited to provide written comments to FAO based on their experience in the implementation of these guidelines. Their comments will be considered in the definitive version of the guidelines.

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.

FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022.

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.
