    African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and deadly pig disease that affect domestic and wild pigs. Although the ASF virus does not pose a hazard or risk to humans, the disease is fatal in domestic pigs and wild boars. ASF has already caused huge economic losses and considerable trade disruptions worldwide. Smallholder pig farms or backyard producers are thought to be the most at risk. This poster follows up on the ASF Animation "Be a Champion Farmer" and is part of the FAO/PIE Regional campaign to raise awareness on African Swine Fever and promote good biosecuiry practices in the farm.

    FAO is spearheading an international effort to step up the fight against African swine fever (ASF), a deadly pig disease that can devastate livelihoods and food security. Small-scale farmers are worst hit by the effects of ASF, which also threatens international trade. By developing a Global Platform for African swine fever and other important swine diseases, FAO and its partners plan to increase knowledge on ASF and its ramifications as well as promote collaboration among governments and pig pr oducers to reduce global risk. From 5 to 7 November 2013, experts from Africa, China, Europe, Japan and the United States of America gathered at FAO headquarters to discuss progress on the Global Platform in an effort to better coordinate ASF prevention and control. The Global Platform will bring together the private sector (e.g. pig producers, farmer and veterinarian associations, pharmaceutical companies), international and regional organizations, research institutions, government and non-gove rnmental organizations. The goal will be to shape a common agenda against ASF and other important pig diseases.
