The objective of this work, and the larger project from which it originates, is to improve understanding about how markets can act as catalysts for rural poverty alleviation. The larger Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI) project deals with livestock generally, but in the present case we focus on poultry, a cate gory of special economic and public health importance in the Southeast Asian region. This report summarizes results from detailed surveys of poultry markets in and around Ha Noi, Viet Nam, which included separate surveys of six different supply-side market participants (consumers were the subject of a different survey): (1) Chicken Farmers; (2) Chick Producers; (3) Commune Traders; (4) Wholesale Traders; (5) Slaughterhouses; and (6) Market Vendors. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochurePlant health and food security 2017A fundamental human need for individuals, communities and nations is ongoing access to sufficient, affordable, safe and nutritious food to live an active and healthy life. Pests and diseases of plants pose a threat to food security because they can damage crops, which reduces the availability and increases the cost of food. Pest and disease threats are greater than ever before due to increasing global trade and a changing climate. Both of these create favourable conditions for the movement and spread of plant pests and diseases. It is more essential than ever to protect plants from pests and diseases in order to achieve and sustain food security and sources of income for a growing world. Increased trade and a changing climate create opportunities for new plant pests and diseases to appear where they have not been seen before with potentially devastating effects. The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) was established in 1952. Its mission - to protect the world’s plants from pests and diseases – means it is well placed to address these challenges and to establish coordinated action against the spread of the pests and diseases that threaten food security.

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary.

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.
