MeetingMeeting documentConcept note for the Preliminary consultation on monitoring antimicrobial resistance in animal bacterial pathogens of diseased livestock and poultry
Workshop on Development of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Surveillance Guideline #2 (Livestock Pathogens). 28-29 August 2018; Bangkok, Thailand
2018Also available in:
No results found.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial organisms does not recognize biological, physical, or sectoral boundaries. Its potential transmission pathways include broad areas of disciplines that are often traditionally segregated. The collective and coordinated actions across these multiple disciplines can leverage on the strengthened sectoral accountability towards AMR mitigation. This ensures that the efforts of nations to address this global issue will benefit from the respective expertise of each sector, and that actions are also well-sustained by their respective mandates. -

No results found.he FAO Expert Consultation on Strategies for Sustainable Animal Agriculture in Developing Countries was held at the FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy, from 10 to 14 December 1990.Animal agriculture is a complex, multi-component, interactive process that is dependant on land, human resources and capital investment. Throughout the developing world it is practised in many different forms, in different environments and with differing degrees of intensity and biological efficiency. As a result any meaningful discussion of the subject must draw on a broad spectrum of the biological and earth sciences as well as the social, economic and political dimensions that bear so heavily on the advancement of animal agriculture. There is a growing consensus among politicians, planners and scientists alike that livestock production in the third world is not developing as it should, or at a sufficient pace to meet the high quality protein needs of a rapidly expanding human population. The sobering reality is, despite the many development projects implemented over the years by national, bilateral and multinational agencies and often substantial capital investment, there has been little or no change in the efficiency of animal production in the developing world. Livestock numbers have increased substantially in many countries and while the growth in output is welcome, it does not necessarily equate with sustainable productive growth. On the contrary it can, as it has done in the drought prone arid regions, lead to a lowering of productivity and degradation of the rangelands.The purpose of the Expert Consultation was to discuss and formulate specific criteria and questions relating to the planning and implementation of sustainable livestock production programmes in the developing world. There is increasing concern regarding the conservation of the natural resource base and protection of the global environment and FAO attaches highest priority to the sustainable development of plant and animal agriculture. This Expert Consultation is one of a number of initiatives being undertaken by FAO to ensure the sustainability of it's agricultural development programme. The discussion and recommendations arising from this Expert Consultation have been used to help to focus and guide global, regional and national policies and action programmes on the sustainable development of agriculture and have provided an important contribution to the FAO/Government of the Netherlands International Conference on Agriculture and the Environment held in the hague, 15–19 April, 1991.

Book (series)FlagshipСостояние мировых земельных и водных ресурсов для производства продовольствия и ведения сельского хозяйства
Управление системами, находящимися под угрозой
2013Настоящая книга описывает состояние водных и земельных ресурсов, необходимых для производства продовольствия, и анализирует угрозы продовольственной безопасности и устойчивому развитию. Эти угрозы – не просто результат лишь относительного дефицита воды и земли. Существует целый ряд новых вызовов, таких как тенденция к увеличению численности населения, изменение режимов питания и климата, с учетом которых необходимо изменять существующие методы ведения сельского хозяйства. В этом контексте рассматривается потенциал земельных и водных систем в том, что касается их возможности противостоять новым угрозам. Варианты управления некоторыми «системами, находящимися под угрозой», для достижения устойчивых уровней производства рассматриваются совместно с сопутствующими рисками и балансом преимуществ и недостатков. В книге рассматриваются необходимые институциональные изменения и изменения в области политики, а также технические подходы, требующиеся в конкретных условиях. Ниже приведены основные результаты и рекомендации. -

No results found.These country reports are prepared as a contribution to the FAO publication, The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture. The preparation of Country Reports provided an overview of existing information gaps and helped to establish a baseline information on biodiversity for food and agriculture. They also provided information on the role of biodiversity for food and agriculture in the provision of multiple ecosystem services. These country reports helped to address the following questions: • What is the state of the conservation and use of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, ecosystem services and sustainability? • What trends can be identified in the conservation and use of biodiversity for food and agriculture and in the effects of major drivers of change? • How can conservation and use of biodiversity for food and agriculture be improved and the contributions of biodiversity to food security and nutrition, ecosystem services, sustainability and the improvement of livelihoods of farmers, pastoralists, forest dwellers and fisher folk be enhanced? -
