Book (series)Manual / guideReconnaitre la peste porcine africaine
Un manuel de terrain
2002Also available in:
La peste porcine africaine (PPA) est endémique dans certaines régions du sud et de l'est de l'Afrique. L'introduction de la PPA dans une zone indemne entraine des pertes dues aux effets dévastateurs de la maladie. Afin de minimiser ces pertes, il est essentiel de disposer d'une solide capacité de détection précoce et de résponse rapide. L'identification de la maladie constitue l'élément clé d'un tel système. L'objectif de ce manuel est d'améliorer la reconnaissance de la PPA à tous les niveau x pour la détection précoce et la réaction rapide pour que la maladie puisse etre identifiée et éliminée dès son apparition et à n'importe quel endroit. Une attention particulière a été apportée aux similarités cliniques, anatomiques et pathologiques qui existent entre la PPA et la peste porcine classique. Ce manuel fait partie d'une série réalisée par l'Unité du Système de prévention et de résponse rapide contre les ravageurs et les maladies tranfrontalières des animaux et des plantes (EMPRES ), qui a pour but d'aider à faire face aux situations d'urgence causées par l'apparition des principales maladies animales transfrontalières. -
Book (series)Manual / guidePréparation des plans d'intervention contre la péripneumonie contagieuse bovine 2004
Also available in:
Ce manuel fournit des informations sur la nature de la PPCB et les principes et options stratégiques de contrôle et d’élimination de la maladie. Des directives sont proposées pour que chaque pays puisse formuler sa propre politique nationale globale pour la lutte et l’éradication de la PPCB. Le manuel identifie le personnel ainsi que les équipements et autres installations nécessaires dans un plan national d’intervention contre la PPCB. Les grandes lignes du format et du contenu d’un plan national d’intervention contre la PPCB sont aussi proposées, et devraient être modifiées en fonction des besoins et des conjonctures propres à chaque pays. Les dispositionsdu Code zoosanitaire international de l’OIE ont largement été prises en considération pour l’élaboration de ce manuel. Ce dernier, dont la présentation est basée sur le plan d’urgence vétérinaire australien (AUSVETPLAN) avec quelques modifications, devrait être utilisé avec le Manual on the preparation of national animal disease emergency preparedness plans (Manuel de santé animale de la FAO n° 6, 1999, Rome). -
Book (series)Manual / guidePréparation des plans d'intervention contre la fièvre de la vallée du rift 2003
Also available in:
La fièvre de la Vallée du Rift (FVR) est une des maladies animales transfrontalières les plus graves. Il s’agit d’une maladie virale transmise par les moustiques, qui engendre de graves épidémies périodiques et touche principalement les ruminants. La FVR est également une zoonose importante et une des fièvres hémorragiques aiguës significatives qui affectent les êtres humains. Jusqu’à une époque récente, elle s’était manifestée uniquement sur le continent africain, mais en 2000 elle s’est déclarée dans la péninsule arabique. Outre ses graves conséquences sur le plan socioéconomique et de la santé publique, la FVR représente une contrainte majeure au commerce international du bétail.

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. -
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.
