DocumentOther documentAvian Influenza Disease Emergency: issue No. 23 (04/10/2004)
Update of the Avian Influenza situation (As of 04/10/2004)
2004Also available in:
No results found.Additional outbreaks of H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) were suspected and/or confirmed in Thailand. Human cases were also reported in Thailand and Viet Nam during this review period. FAO issued Recommendations on the Prevention, Control and Eradication of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Asia. -

Update of the Avian Influenza situation (As of 20/12/2004)
2004Also available in:
No results found.A few outbreaks of H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) were reported in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Viet Nam during the preceding month. One year has passed since the first HPAI case was officially reported by the Republic of Korea to OIE on 12 December 2003. It is important to pay attention to the biosecurity of domestic poultry to prevent infection, and maintain vigilance and enhance early warning in order to detect every additional case, to ensure effective control of outbreak s and to minimise the risk to humans. -

Update of the Avian Influenza situation (As of 27/04/2004)
2004Also available in:
No results found.As you are likely aware from previous FAO AIDEnews issues, epidemiologists and other experts have been travelling to HPAI affected countries under the umbrella of FAO technical cooperation projects. Results and epidemiological findings of these missions will be brought to our readers’ attention under this new heading and will progressively enhance our understanding of the 2004 avian influenza epidemic. This analysis should lead to improved surveillance and management of this and other potential emerging diseases.

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. -
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. -

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.
