DocumentTechnical reportGlobal Public Health and Transboundary Animal Diseases: Issues and Options, Approaches and Concerns 2010
Also available in:
No results found.Transboundary animal diseases will continue to emerge around the globe, with human-to-human spread potential, and multiple associated costs to societies and governments. These emerging threats can be addressed and reduced through the application of holistic and proactive disease risk management approaches that build on disease intelligence, multidisciplinary collaborations, public-private partnerships, international commitments, and scientific progress. Although a focus on biosecurity measures a long the production and marketing chain have proved beneficial so far, there is need to broaden measures geared to increase awareness among at-risk populations and targeted educational campaigns at vulnerable communities with the goal of changing, or at least influencing, the demeanours, habits and behaviours of people in such a way that the risks of disease contraction and transmission are decreased. For instance, the United States and the European Union are addressing the emergence and intensi fication of emerging biological threats across diverse ecological landscapes through identification and early tackling of critical disease drivers and risk factors. A key aspect of the approaches proposed is that they rely on working with economic actors and that they aims to develop with them sets of safe practices in production, processing, transportation, marketing and handling that are seen as coherent, applicable, practical, and in line with the realities in the ground. Further issues that need to be considered are cost-effectiveness, conflicts of interests, and sustainability. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFood Chain Crisis Management Framework: FAO’s approach to address transboundary threats affecting food safety, animal, aquatic, crop, and forest health 2015
Also available in:
No results found.Outbreaks of transboundary animal and plant pests and diseases, including forest pests and aquatic diseases, food safety and radiation events has been increasing over the past years, impacting people’s access to quality food, and putting their livelihoods and health at risk. To address this challenge, FAO established the Food Chain Crisis Management Framework (FCC), an approach combining prevention, preparedness, and response to emergencies affecting the food chain and caused by transboundary an imal and plant pests and diseases (including aquatic and forests pests and diseases), food safety and radiological threats. -

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. -

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. -
