Also available in:
The Afghan economy has been disrupted by near-continuous civil strife since 1979. The consequent displacement of large numbers of people and massive unemployment have led to extremely low income levels and limited access to food, especially in urban areas. Agriculture has also suffered - from damaged irrigation structures, land mines and from the migration of farmers out of insecure areas. Food production has been affected, and the country has moved from near self-sufficiency in the mid-1970s to heavy dependency on imports (from the USSR in the 1980s and from Pakistan and the Islamic Republic of Iran in the 1990s). Most of the imported food is consumed in the urban areas. Although Afghanistan has been only around 70 percent self-sufficient in cereals during most of this decade, there is evidence of rising production in the last two or three years, as a result of greater security in some areas. Following the 1997 FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission which estimated last ye ar’s national cereal production to be the highest for several years, an FAO/WFP Mission, supported by UNDP, was fielded to Afghanistan from 4-27 May 1998, to estimate the 1998 cereal harvest and cereal import requirements for the 1998/99 marketing year, to ascertain whether the rising trend towards self-sufficiency observed in 1997 was continuing and to assess the regional food situation within the country. Particular attention was to be focused on. -

Also available in:
In May 1998, FAO issued a Special Alert on the grave food supply difficulties in southern Sudan, particularly in Bahr el Ghazal, as a result of a succession of drought-reduced food production coupled with an intensification of the long-running civil strife. Later in the year heavy rains and flooding displaced a large number of households and damaged crops in the central and eastern parts of the country. These events prompted the fielding of an FAO Mission to southern Sudan in October and a joint FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission to all the production areas in northern Sudan from 15 November to 3 December 1998 to estimate cereal production and food supply and assess food aid needs from the current harvest of mainly sorghum and millet and to make an early forecast of wheat production in the first quarter of 1999. Based on these estimates of production and carryover stocks, the Mission assessed the 1998/99 cereal status including export potential, import requirements a nd food aid needs. -

Also available in:
Following the worst floods in 40 years which caused extensive damage to housing, infrastructure and agriculture in southern areas, an FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission to all the production areas in the country was fielded as soon as water receded, from 17 to 29 April 2000. The Mission assessed crop and livestock losses, estimated the main 1999/2000 production of foodcrops and made an early forecast of the second season. Based on these estimates the Mission assessed the 2000/01 cer eal status, including export potential, import requirements and food aid needs. Observers from the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) joined the Mission. Staff from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the National Institute of Management of Disasters (INGC) assisted the Mission on its field visits.

贸易与粮食安全：更好地平衡国家重点与集体利益
2015全球农产品和粮食产品贸易已在最近几十年取得快速增长，各国作为出口或进口方越来越多地参与这一贸易进程。这种趋势预计将在今后几十年中持续。因此，贸易将在全球各区域对粮食安全的程度和性质产生越来越重要的影响。我们面临的挑战就是确保农产品贸易的扩大能对消除饥饿、粮食不安全和营养不良起到促进作用，而不是阻碍作用。 本版《农产品市场状况》旨在缓解目前各方在农产品贸易对粮食安全产生的影响以及如何管理农产品贸易以确保贸易开放度的增加能惠及所有国家等问题上出现的观点两极分化现象。本书通过就一系列话题举证和说明，努力促成各方就政策选择开展有实证依据的辩论，并在政策选择过程中努力实现必要的改进。 -

No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Training materialPlanning in government forest agencies how to balance forest use and conservation: agenda for training workshop. 1998
Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of planning for forestry development is to establish a workable framework for forest use and conservation which incorporates the economic, social and environmental dimensions on a sustainable basis. The framework is about creating a shared vision of how forests will be used and protected. This can be summed up in a single central question: Trees and forests for whom and for what? The question is not new but what is new is the perception that so many different groups have an interest in the reply. Forestry planning has traditionally been mainly concerned with the production of timber for industry and other wood products, and with forest industry development. Planning for environmental goals also has a long history but was largely restricted to designated areas for exclusive conservation. National forestry development agencies were essentially responsible for the sustained yield management on protected public forest lands and for reserved forests. The term "sustained yield " was mostly limited to wood production and therefore excluded the majority of other forest products and services. Although most forestry agencies have made progress towards multiple-use management, planning remains often biased towards timber in a wide range of countries. Many of the actions taken in order to stimulate forestry development in the immediate failed to sustain the momentum of growth in the longer term. Short term achievements sometimes resulted in degradation or destruction of the stock of natural capital needed in order to maintain growth in the future or reduced options for future end uses by degrading the forest capital.
