2019This document summarizes the online discussion Eggs: harnessing their power for the fight against hunger and malnutrition, held on the FAO Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum) from 23 October to 13 November 2018. The discussion was facilitated by Saul Morris from the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and Tim Lambert from the International Egg Commission. It aimed to explore the role that eggs can play in effectively tackling malnutrition by looking at the following questions: - What are the best production mechanisms? - How can egg consumption be encouraged in a sustainable way? - How can the interests of better nutrition be balanced with concerns about smallholder livelihoods? The discussion also introduced a special supplement titled “Eggs: A High-Potential Food for Improving Maternal and Child Nutrition” (published in the journal Maternal and Child Nutrition) which summarizes a wealth of additional information on the value of eggs and feasible ways of increasing access. -

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.
