No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical bookWTO agreement on agriculture : the implementation experience
developing country case studies
2003In 1999, FAO initiated a major exercise to evaluate the impact of the Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) on agricultural trade and food security in developing countries. Fourteen country case studies were commissioned, and an overview paper synthesizing these experiences and the lessons to be learned was prepared. FAO has now updated this exercise, drawing on a wider set of countries and more recent data. Sixteen country case studies were commissioned by FAO at the beginning of 2002 to review natio nal experiences. In some cases, the studies revisited countries included in the 1999 sample, but the opportunity was also taken to widen the sample by including additional countries. Although the synthesis chapter draws on all 23 of the case studies to date, only the 16 recent studies are included in this volume. These studies attempt to provide answers to four questions concerning the impact of the AoA on developing countries. -

Report and papers of an FAO Symposiumheld at Geneva on 23 - 24 September 1999. Vol. 1 Issues and options.
2000As part of its mandate to provide assistance to member countries for the follow-up to the Uruguay Round and future negotiations on agriculture, FAO has pursued a wide range of activities with a view to enhancing the capacity of member countries, particularly developing countries, to analyse the implications of the Uruguay Round Agreements for the agricultural sector, to adjust to the new trading environment and thus take advantage of trading opportunities, and to participate effectively in futur e multilateral trade negotiations. The 1996 World Food Summit Plan of Action commits FAO to continue assisting developing countries on trade issues and in particular -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical bookThe Future of Preferential Trade Arrangements for Developing Countries and the Current Round of WTO Negotiations on Agriculture 2002Trade preferences for developing countries have been a feature of industrialized countries’ commercial policies for nearly 40 years. However, with overall trade liberalization, tariff preferences are gradually losing importance. In agriculture, on the other hand, they can still be potentially valuable because MFN tariffs are extremely high in many cases, though they are also in the process of being reduced. Yet, because of the ‘sensitive’ nature of their agricultural policies, developed countrie s have usually been reluctant to provide deep preferences for agricultural products. At the same time, some special preferential regimes have provided significant concessions for selected agricultural products, for limited groups of developing countries. The EU’s preferences for sugar imports from selected ACP countries are a case in point. Hence the picture is very diverse when it comes to preferential treatment of agricultural exports from developing countries.

Book (stand-alone)General interest book地理标志食品的营养与健康潜力 2022
Also available in:
在很多重要文件中，传统食品、饮食和粮食体系在大众营养状况中所发挥的重要作用得到了认可。社会经济、生物多样性、自然资源可利用性及地理标志的使用都会影响营养和饮食，但关于前三项的研究比最后一项要多得多。在促进健康饮食和遏制非传染性疾病方面，地理标志食品的潜力值得探索。本书共有五个案例，研究了五种已注册的地理标志食品的营养潜力。 本书探讨了生产过程和最终产品营养成分之间的关系。事实上，这些食品的营养特性在很大程度上可以归因于它们独特的成分和生产过程，与其地理来源密切相关。对营养成分的分析既需要考虑普通的营养素，还要考虑生物活性化合物，后者通常不会出现在营养成分表中。 本书也探究了一些与个案研究对象相似但不一定认证了地理标志的食品。在个案研究后，本书第三部分简要探讨了三个专题：规范地理标志食品以保持和提高营养质量、地理标志食品在健康饮食中的作用以及食品成分测定。第四部分讨论了本书的局限性，并提出了以地理标志食品促进健康饮食的建议。很多受地理标志保护的传统食品是发酵食品，因此，附录涉及了益生菌、益生元和肠道菌群。 -
