Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureGestion des pesticides dans le secteur de la banane 2017Les pesticides sont utilisés de manière intensive pour contrôler les ravageurs et maladies dans les bananeraies, en particulier dans celles destinées à l'exportation tout au long de l'année. Les bananes sont d'autant plus sensibles aux infestations qu'elles sont cultivées pour la plupart dans des régions tropicales, créant des conditions favorables aux organismes nuisibles. On utilise les pesticides pour contrôler différents parasites de la banane, dont la cercosporiose noire, capable de réduire les rendements de 35% à 50% dans les plantations. La contamination causée par l'utilisation intensive de produits agrochimiques dans les monocultures reste un défi. Les inquiétudes concernant les risques liés à l'utilisation de pesticides se reflètent de plus en plus dans la demande du marché. Pour les producteurs, cette évolution appelle un changement dans les systèmes de production et de commercialisation qui les conduit à approfondir leurs connaissances techniques tout en maintenant la viabi lité économique des exploitations bananières. Il est donc important de limiter autant que possible l'utilisation des pesticides et d'en assurer une bonne gestion avant, pendant et après l’application pour pouvoir réduire les risques sociaux et environnementaux qui leur sont associés.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookField survey guidance for Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus 2025
Also available in:
No results found.This survey guidance provides a protocol to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection, and diagnostics for Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus, ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-making to manage the pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products. To simplify the identification of the pest, it also provides visuals. Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus is a priority pest among several countries in the IPPC's Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP), which aims to enhance pest management across Africa by empowering technical personnel or phytosanitary officers in national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to use science and digital technology. This survey guidance is intended to enhance NPPOs' surveillance of Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus and strengthen the resilience of national phytosanitary systems against plant pests of regulatory, economic and environmental concern, particularly Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus. It complements the digital tools available to NPPO plant health inspectors, through the APP mobile application and Geographic Information System (GIS) platform, for monitoring and data collection. Countries will use the survey data to support the export trade of pest-free crop commodities. -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuidance on integrated pest management for the world’s major crop pests and diseases 2025
Also available in:
No results found.In this volume, FAO has compiled integrated pest management (IPM) measures for eight global priority pests and pathogens, based upon geographical distribution, severity and societal importance. Each chapter offers a ‘bundle’ of IPM solutions for the principal pest threats of cereal grains, potato, fruits and vegetables. It offers a wide spectrum of tailored solutions ranging from traditional approaches, such as crop sanitation and good agronomy, to modern DNA-based technologies, marker-assisted breeding, and innovative tools such as robotics, biological control and biopesticides, as well as digital alert systems. By emphasizing biodiversity-based and agroecological preventative measures, and providing innovative ways to integrate stand-alone technologies, readers are presented with practical ways to establish climate-resilient, pest-suppressive cropping systems. As such, this volume can be of immediate value for government decision-makers, pest management practitioners, development partners, agro-industry actors and farmers.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureLivestock solutions for climate change 2017
Also available in:
Livestock are an essential part of climate action on the ground in the agricultural sectors. Ninety-two developing countries have included livestock in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). More needs to be done as the livestock sector is growing rapidly. Livestock contribute 34% of global protein for human nutrition. But their contribution to food security and nutrition goes beyond this figure. They provide a diversity of essential micronutrients and many goods and services that are critical to livelihood of pastoralists and the majority of smallholders. Hundreds of millions of vulnerable people rely on livestock to cope with climate change. Emissions from livestock production can be substantially reduced by : • Improving efficiency in natural resource use to reduce emission intensity; • Increasing soil carbon in pastures and biomass by improving grazing management; • Reducing emissions by better integrating livestock into the circular (bio-) economy (e.g. by-products and wastes). -
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. -
