Synopsis (short abstract) A comprehensive and detailed compilation of statistics on farming, livestock, fishery, forestry and nutrition in Asia-Pacific countries for the above period. A handy comparison of changes over the past decade in the use of agricultural land and farm inputs and production of crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry in Asia-Pacific where nearly 60 percent of the about 3.2 billion people in 1999 were engaged in farming and related activities. The last decade of the twentieth century saw the agricul tural population of developing Asia-Pacific nations decline from 63.7 to 58.3 percent of the total population. The document also maps the changes in the daily diet availability in these countries, showing that this falls short of the basic food energy requirements in Cambodia, DPR Korea and Mongolia.
