Book (series)GuidelineAquaculture development. 2. Health management for responsible movement of live aquatic animals 2007These Technical Guidelines on Health management for responsible movement of live aquatic animals have been developed to support sections of FAO’s Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) addressing responsible fisheries management (Article 7), aquaculture development (Article 9), international trade (Article 11) and fisheries research (Article 12). The objective of these guidelines is to assist countries in reducing the risk of introduction and spread of serious transboundary aquatic ani mal diseases (TAADs). Although they deal primarily with safe transboundary movement at the international level, they are also applicable to domestic movements between different provinces, geographical areas or zones of differing disease status. These Technical Guidelines also include guidance for health management at the farm and farm-cluster level, to the extent that these local production units are involved in the spread of TAADs.

No results found.The incursion of the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the most serious pathogen of cultured shrimp, into Mozambique and Madagascar prompted national governments and international agencies such as the World Bank and FAO to develop long-term policy actions through a strategy that will improve aquatic biosecurity governance in the three countries (Madagascar, Mozambique and the United Republic of Tanzania) of the Mozambique Channel, so that the risks of diseases affecting shrimp aquaculture can be reduced. The Technical Workshop on the Development of a Strategy for Improving Biosecurity (Aquatic Animal Health) in the Subregional Countries of the Mozambique Channel (Madagascar, Mozambique and the United Republic of Tanzania), held from 2 to 4 April 2013 in Maputo, Mozambique, was organized and facilitated by FAO with financial support from the World Bank and hosted by the National Institute for Development of Aquaculture and the Institute for Fish Inspection of Mozambique. -

Working guide Guidelines for training Guidelines for adaptation
1994Information to help people improve their own well being and that of their environment is always welcome. This manual provides such information which relates to human health and animal health and production. The manual is written for those with the greatest need for healthy and productive animals - rural livestock raisers. These men and women have valuable skills and experience with food animals. The Primary Animal Health Care Worker (PAHCW) manual contains information for men and women at the grass roots level to provide basic animal health and production services in every community. With this manual, some training and minimal supervision, PAHCWs can fill gaps in the animal health care system in developing countries. Such services will provide direct employment in rural areas; the services are simple, appropriate and sustainable.The PAHCW manual is adapted from the Primary Health Worker manual published by the World Health Organization. Adaptation is an important theme throughout the manual. One book cannot contain specific information on animal health and production which applies throughout the world. Feed sources and grasses differ, diseases vary in frequency and importance and names of animal remedies are different. So the manual gives trainers guidance on ways to adapt information to different situations in different localities.This manual is intended for heavy use; it is not a book to remain unopened on a shelf. Space is provided for writing notes and for writing names of locally available animal remedies.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPicturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025This commemorative volume marks the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tracing its journey from a founding conviction – that hunger is not inevitable – to today’s global mission of transforming agrifood systems. Through a rich collection of photographs and narratives, the book illustrates how FAO works alongside farmers, fishers, scientists, governments, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society to advance sustainable solutions that nourish both people and planet.Organized around FAO’s vision of the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – the book highlights concrete progress: from regenerative farming and climate-smart livestock, to school feeding programmes, land restoration and inclusive digital innovation. It reflects on both the challenges and the opportunities facing agrifood systems, including climate volatility, conflict and inequality, while showing how collaboration, knowledge and innovation create pathways for resilience and hope.Arriving at a moment of reflection and renewal, this volume is both tribute and testimony: to the millions of people whose daily efforts sustain our world, and to FAO’s enduring commitment to building sustainable, inclusive and equitable agrifood systems that leave no one behind.
