Book (series)Technical reportPro-Poor Livestock: PolicyReview of Household Poultry Production as a Tool in Poverty Reduction with Focus on Bangladesh and India PPLPI Working 2003
Also available in:
No results found.This is the sixth of a series of “Working Papers” prepared for the Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI). The purpose of these papers is to explore issues related to livestock development in the context of poverty alleviation. Livestock is vital to the economies of many developing countries. Animals are a source of food, more specifically protein for human diets, income, employment and possibly foreign exchange. For low income producers, livestock can serve as a store of wealth, provide d raught power and organic fertiliser for crop production and a means of transport. Consumption of livestock and livestock products in developing countries, though starting from a low base, is growing rapidly. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureEvidence-based risk management along the livestock production and market chain: Regional Overview 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Poultry production in Southeast Asia has been challenged by various animal disease threats including highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI, also referred to as ‘bird flu’), and other emerging zoonotic and transboundary animal diseases. To mitigate the risk, emergence and spread of new pandemic disease threats, the Food and Agriculture Organization’s Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (FAO-ECTAD) in collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) is implementing the project Evidence-Based Risk Management along the Livestock Production and Market Chain in the region. The project implementation began in 2017 in four countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN): Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Myanmar and Viet Nam. -
ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Livestock Productivity, Market Access, and Resilience of Livestock Production in Bangladesh - UTF/BGD/077/BGD 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The livestock sector in Bangladesh is characterized by several challenges, including poor practices along the value chains; weak value chain organization and infrastructures; low risk management; low quality services; and a lack of proper policies and legislations. In addition, high incidence of different important animal diseases; poor technology adoption; low-quality feed and feeding; insufficient improved breed; inappropriate good management practices; inadequate business plans and market linkages; gender inequality, among others, are further limitations on livestock production in Bangladesh. It is well recognized that unlocking the growth potential of the livestock sector may require a holistic approach, and multiple interventions to address these challenges are required. In this context, the Department of Livestock Services (DLS) of the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (MoFL) received funds from the World Bank to implement the Livestock and Dairy Development Project (LDDP), targeting all main livestock value chains in the country. Against this background, the Government of Bangladesh requested that FAO provide technical assistance to the DLS to implement the LDDP.

Policy briefPolicy briefReducir la pérdida de alimentos y valorizar frutas y residuos para impulsar la sostenibilidad y rentabilidad de la industria de la piña 2024La piña, como otras frutas tropicales, es susceptibles a la pérdida y a ser desperdiciada debido a su contenido de humedad y a su naturaleza perecedera. Factores como el cambio climático, la infraestructura inadecuada y los problemas de manipulación en las etapas de cosecha, empaquetamiento y transporte aumentan el riesgo de pérdida de alimentos, lo que afecta el suministro fruta y su calidad. Adoptar estrategias para reducir las pérdidas y maximizar el uso de los frutos dañados y residuos no comercializables es beneficioso para las empresas y los objetivos de sostenibilidad global, incluida la seguridad alimentaria y la acción climática. Al reducir las pérdidas, los productores y las empresas también pueden aumentar su competitividad y resiliencia y mejorar su reputación ante los mercados y con los consumidores. Este informe técnico presenta ideas prácticas sobre cómo los actores que operan en las cadenas de valor de la piña pueden minimizar la pérdida de alimentos y valorizar los residuos.La serie Frutas Tropicales Sostenibles destaca importantes avances, información técnica y buenas prácticas relacionadas con la resiliencia, sostenibilidad e inclusión en las cadenas de valor de frutas tropicales.
