No results found."Operational Research in Indonesia for More Effective Control of Avian Influenza" commenced in Indonesia in July 2008. Funded by USAID and the World Bank, the project aims to develop an evidence base for the selection of effective and feasible control alternatives in backyard poultry in Indonesia. These alternatives include mass voluntary vaccination against avian influenza (AI), and AI plus Newcastle disease and are implemented in the context of ongoing field Participatory Disease Surveillance and Response (PDSR) activities. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is supporting local government and the Ministry of Agriculture to implement the control strategies, and providing ongoing support for PDSR field activities. The FAO team works in close collaboration with JSI Deliver (responsible for procurement of vaccine, cold chain equipment and vaccination supplies, and providing logistical support for project implementation) and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) ( responsible for the design of ORI HPAI, supervision of data collection and analysis of the research results). -

No results found.After H5N1 HPAI virus was reported in poultry in South East Asia in early 2004, it was only a matter of time before incursions were reported in Europe and countries of the Central Asia Region. It is widely believed that the virus was mainly spread through migration of wild birds, as well as cross-border trade. Whichever the explanation might be, it was quite evident that by mid 2005 this region was experiencing a major avian influenza H5N1 epidemic. Outbreaks were reported in the Russian Federat ion and Kazakhstan in July 2005, followed by Mongolia in August, Turkey in October, and Ukraine in November of that same year. The first outbreaks occurred in wild birds, followed by rapid spread to domestic poultry: both, backyard and commercial flocks. In January 2006, Turkey reported its first confirmed human case of avian influenza A (H5N1) infection and death, followed shortly thereafter by Azerbaijan in February. From 2006 to 2008, H5N1 HPAI has been repeatedly reported in Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and Turkey, which suggests that there are continuous reintroductions from an outside source.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
