    World Agriculture Watch - Supporting the UN decade of family farming (2019-2028) 2019

    The World Agriculture Watch (WAW) initiative aims to document the situation of global agriculture in all its diversity, from family farms to industrial enterprises. Identifying and understanding the myriad farm types, including family farms, is key to adapting projects, policies and investments to specific agricultural characteristics and constraints. In this way, investments can be targeted at strengthening the weakest aspects of different types of farm. WAW then uses farm typology to provide tailored means of monitoring the effects of these investments on family farms and tracking their relative performance. The information produced by these tools is intended to inform stakeholders and fuel the debate on policy choices for the agricultural sector, with a particular focus on those organizations that represent family farms, which are crucial to food and nutrition security. Moreover, WAW facilitates the global accumulation of knowledge on agricultural transformation at the international level. WAW offers decision-making support for intervention at the local, regional and national levels. It is currently working with a number of countries to develop national farm observatories that will enable them to participate in the global collection of data on and analysis of farm typologies and types of agriculture.

    Prevention and diagnostic of Fusarium Wilt (Panama disease) of banana caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4). Technical Manual 2014

    Global banana production is seriously threatened by the re-emergence of a Fusarium Wilt. The disease, caused by the soil-borne fungi Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) and also known as “Panama disease”, wiped out the Gros Michel banana industry in Central America and the Caribbean, in the mid-twentieth century. The effects of Foc Race 1 were overcome by a shift to resistant Cavendish cultivars, which are currently the source of 99% of banana exports.
