ProjectFactsheetPromoting Linkages Between Social Protection, Agriculture and Food Security in Response to COVID in Mozambique - TCP/MOZ/3802 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Food and nutrition security remains a challenge in Mozambique despite a strong policy framework and a series of strategies and action plans to promote poverty reduction, including the Food and Nutrition Security Strategy and the National Basic Social Security Strategy (ENSSB II-2016-2024). The majority of the population lives in rural areas and depends on subsistence farming. The low productivity of the agriculture sector, combined with a poor quality of basic social services and the vulnerability of the sector to climatic shocks, has led to persistently high levels of child undernutrition, food insecurity and poverty. Over 50 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, 24 percent faces chronic food insecurity and 53 percent of children below two years are undernourished.

Book (series)Manual / guideQuality assurance for microbiology in feed analysis laboratories 2013
Also available in:
Animal feeding influences every sector of the livestock industry. High quality animal feed with the correct nutritional content and free from harmful contaminants, such as microbiological agents or their toxins, ensures that animals will be in the best possible condition, content and healthy. As a result animals will produce increased yields of quality products (meat, milk, eggs or wool) resulting in improved health and wellbeing of the human population. This publication provides comprehensiv e guidance on the requirements of a microbiology laboratory performing animal feed analysis and includes examples of standard operating procedures, prepared by experts from around the world. These procedures will assist laboratories in attaining the competence required, will enhance the quality of data reported and ensure the safety of laboratory workers. The procedures contained in this publication are compliant with ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (General requirements for the competence of testing and cal ibration laboratories) and take into account ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental management systems) and BS OHSAS 18001:2007 (Occupational health and safety management systems) and will assist laboratories to gain accreditation or certification. This publication will be useful for laboratory analysts, laboratory managers, students and teachers and will enable workers in the livestock industry to appreciate the importance of proven reliable data and quality assurance. Implementing the procedures wil l strengthen the research and education capabilities of students and promote a better trading environment between developing and developed economies. This will have long-term benefits and promote investment in feed industries and R&D. -
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.
