No results found.The Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, at its Seventeenth Regular Session, adopted its Work Plan for the Sustainable Use and Conservation of Micro-organism and Invertebrate Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. In response to the workplan a study on the use and conservation of microorganisms relevant to ruminant digestion was prepared. The study aims to provide policymakers, researchers and livestock nutritionists and producers with: an introduction to microorganisms of relevance to ruminant digestion and their roles; an overview of trends in the diversity of microorganisms of relevance to ruminant digestion, the significance of these trends, and the factors driving them; an overview of the current status of the sustainable use and conservation of microorganisms of relevance to ruminant digestion worldwide; an overview of the current status of policies, legislation and institutional arrangements relevant to the management of microorganisms of relevance to ruminant digestion worldwide; an overview of organizations relevant to the sustainable use and conservation of microorganisms of relevance to ruminant digestion worldwide, covering gaps and weakness in terms of collaboration in this field, potential means of addressing these gaps and weakness, and an overview of potential ways in which the Commission and its Members could contribute to addressing gaps and weaknesses in the sustainable use and conservation of microorganisms of relevance to ruminant digestion. -

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.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideRecarbonizing global soils: A technical manual of recommended sustainable soil management
Volume 3 - Cropland, grassland, integrated systems and farming approaches - Practices overview
2021Also available in:
No results found.During the last decades, soil organic carbon (SOC) attracted the attention of a much wider array of specialists beyond agriculture and soil science, as it was proven to be one of the most crucial components of the earth’s climate system, which has a great potential to be managed by humans. Soils as a carbon pool are one of the key factors in several Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 15, “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss” with the SOC stock being explicitly cited in Indicator 15.3.1. This technical manual is the first attempt to gather, in a standardized format, the existing data on the impacts of the main soil management practices on SOC content in a wide array of environments, including the advantages, drawbacks and constraints. This manual presents different sustainable soil management (SSM) practices at different scales and in different contexts, supported by case studies that have been shown with quantitative data to have a positive effect on SOC stocks and successful experiences of SOC sequestration in practical field applications. Volume 3 includes a total of 49 practices that have a direct impact on SOC sequestration and maintenance in cropland, grassland, integrated systems and farming approaches. -

No results found.This Special Issue on Tilapia health: quo vadis is a compilation of a Letter and eight review papers delivered during a virtual International Technical Seminar of the same title held in December 2021. The eight review papers are: (1) From Africa to the world- the journey of Nile tilapia, (2) The future of intensive tilapia production and the circular economy without effluents: bio floc technology, recirculation aquaculture systems, Bio-RAS, Partitioned aquaculture systems, and integrated multitrophic aquaculture, (3) How value addition by utilization of tilapia processing by-products can improve human nutrition and livelihood, (4) Strategies to enhance tilapia immunity to improve their health in aquaculture, (5) Improving tilapia biosecurity through a value chain approach, (6) A global review of problematic and pathogenic parasites of farmed tilapia, (7) Bacterial diseases of tilapia, their zoonotic potential, and risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and (8) From the basics to emerging diagnostic technologies: What is on the horizon for tilapia disease diagnostics? This virtual event was organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and INFOFISH to review the status of tilapia health, prevention and cure; such concerns increased as tilapia farming becomes more widespread. The event brought together 1700 participants from over 100 countries. It was supported by two FAO projects, namely: GCP/RAF/510/MUL Enhancing capacity/risk reduction of emerging Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) to African tilapia aquaculture and TCP/INT/3707 Strengthening biosecurity (policy and farm-level) governance to deal with TiLV.
