    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.

    Technical manual for the construction and use of family-sized metal silos to store cereals and grain legumes 2015
    Also available in:

    The Technical manual for the construction and use of family-sized metal silos to store cereals and grain legumes presents simple instructions for the construction and use of various types of family-sized silos, with capacities of between 0.12 m3 and 4.2 m3 (approximately 120 and 4 000 kg). The contribution of this type of silo to food security, to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals and to the well-being of small farmers is extremely important, particularly during agricultural crises cause d by a number of external factors, including financial problems. The silos have a key role, not only to safeguard family nutrition in the peasant sector, but also so that small farmers can regulate trading in surplus goods and have access to markets when they are favourable. The manual contains guidelines for the use and manufacture of family-sized silos at low cost, accessible to craftsmen and farmers. The manual is based on field experience gained by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooper ation (SDC) and subsequently by numerous projects carried out by FAO in more than 22 developing countries.
