Las Escuelas de campo para agricultores (ECA) son esencialmente escuelas sin paredes, con una metodología pedagógica fundamentada en la educación no formal, que introducen innovaciones tecnológicas al tiempo que aprovechan los conocimientos autóctonos. En las E CA, los agricultores son los expertos. Fueron desarrolladas por la FAO a inicios de los años 90, en respuesta a la crisis de producción de alimentos en países asiáticos como consecuencia del uso irracional de plaguicidas. Como resultado de su impacto en el manejo adecuado de los recursos locales, la ECA se difundió a casi todos los países en desarrollo, replicándose y/o adaptándose a cada realidad y diversidad de temas. This handbook is focused on the production of quality seeds in the hig h Andean region, seeks to empower through knowledge management and teamwork, family farming being at the heart of sustainable local development. The Farmer Field Schools (FFS) are mainly schools without walls, with a teaching methodology based on non-formal education, introducing new technology while benefiting from indigenous knowledge. In the FFS, farmers are the experts. The Farmer Field Schools were developed by FAO in the early 90s, in response to the crisis in food production in Asian c ountries, as a result of irrational use of pesticides. Due to its impact on the adequate management of local resources, the FFS spread in almost all developing countries, being replicated and/or adapted to each situation and variety of issues. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -
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. -
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.
