DocumentOther documentA plan on how to create and maintain urban forest healing spaces to expand forest benefits in daily life
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Forest welfare services and healing programs allow city dwellers to relax and enjoy leisure time at a relatively low cost. With an increasing demand for such forest healing services, now is the time to construct a robust policy and institutional framework for the creation of ‘Forest Healing Complex’. This paper aims to create a policy and build an institutional framework for the expansion of forest healing services and benefits in daily life.
This paper emphasizes the necessity of creating ‘Forest Healing Complex’ based on a survey of demand and status of domestic forest healing services, and also examines a plan to introduce the Complex based on the analysis of trends and best practices at home and abroad. Furthermore, candidate sites for the Complex, principles of construction, and standards for siting were specified; facilities and activities to introduce were designed; and operation and maintenance plans were presented. Lastly, policy suggestions to promote forest healing among city dwellers were made as an alternative to creating urban forest healing places.

DocumentOther documentProduction and fuel properties of wood chips from logging residues by timber harvesting methods
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.This study calculated the productivity and cost of extraction and processing of logging residues by cut-to-length (CTL) and whole-tree (WT) harvesting methods. In addition, the comparative analysis of the characteristics of wood chip fuel to examine whether it was suitable for the fuel conditions of the energy facility. In the harvesting and processing system to produce the wood chips of logging residues the system productivity and cost of the CTL harvesting system were 1.6 Gwt/SMH and 89,865 won/Gwt, respectively. The productivity and cost of the WT harvesting system were 2.9 Gwt/SMH and 72,974 won/Gwt, respectively. The WT harvesting productivity increased 1.3times while harvesting cost decreased by 18.7% compared to the CTL harvesting system. The logging residues of wood chips were not suitable for CTL wood chips based on International Organization for Standardization (ISO 17225-4:2021) and South Korea standard (NIFoS, 2020), but the quality (A2, Second class) was improved through screening operation. The WT-unscreened wood chips conformed to NIFoS standard (second class) and did not conform to ISO but were improved through screening operation (Second class). In addition to the energy facility in plant A, all wood chips except CTL-unscreened wood chips were available through drying processing. The WT-unscreened wood chips were the lowest at 99,408 won/Gwt. Plants B, C, and D had higher moisture content than plant A, so WT-unscreened wood chips without drying processing were the lowest at 57,204 won/Gwt. Therefore, the production of logging residues should improve with operation methods that improve the quality of wood chips required for applying the variable biomass and energy facility.

DocumentOther documentEffect of serial harvesting of shoots on rooting ability of teak clones
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Rejuvenation of shoots through budding and serial harvesting was carried out to produce shoots for rooted cutting of 106 teak clones. 3-month-old budded seedlings were topped and leaf pruned to stimulate secondary shoots that used for rooted cutting. 1-month old secondary shoots were harvested and rooted cutting in non-mist propagators. Number of shoots per stock and rooting ability of each clone were recorded for 6 consequences shoot harvesting at 2 weeks interval. 1 month after propagating showed that rooting ability were high significantly (Pr(>F) = 0.489) difference among clones. 35 clones had high rooting ability averaged more than 60 percent, 56 clones had 40-60 percent, while 15 clones had less than 40 percent. Number of shoots per stock and rooting ability were high significantly affected by order of consequence shoot harvesting. Average number of shoots per stock were 0.85, 0.87, 0.74, 0.88, 0.70 and 0.60 shoots (not every stock plant produce shoot in every harvesting round) while rooting ability were 54.01, 44.37, 19.68, 63.87, 81.90 and 73.63 percent for 1st to 6th shoot harvesting respectively. Number of shoots per stock increased from 1st until 4th cut and then decreased when 5th and 6th cut. Later harvesting trended to increase rooting ability.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
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.
