    The Report of the Third EPMR of ICRAF was discussed at the Fifth Meeting of the SC (April 10- 12, 2006) in the presence of Panel Member, Dr. Chris Harwood (on behalf of Prof. Jeffery Burley, Panel Chair, who was unavailable due to illness), the Chair of ICRAF’s Board of Trustees, Dr. Eugene Terry, and the Director General of ICRAF, Dr. Dennis Garrity. The SC thanks the Panel Chair and Members for a constructive, frank and thorough report offering a clear overview and assessment of ICRA F’s research, management and governance. The Panel clearly recognizes the seminal contributions ICRAF has made to defining and advancing the science of agroforestry and the importance to the CGIAR of developing and implementing a strategic vision for systemsbased integrated natural resources management (INRM) that fully involves both the biophysical and social sciences. The Panel notes, in particular, that the Center undertook nine CCERs in the intervening seven years, including four in 2005 alone, and that the Panel carefully reviewed each of these. In response to the 2nd EPMR (1998), the Center developed a new strategy document in 2000, has monitored and adapted its organizational arrangements to address its updated strategy, reorganizing programs and integrating the research and development-support aspects of its agenda within each global theme in 2003, ultimately leading to a new Vision and Strategic Planning Framework adopted in 2005. The Panel endorses ICRAF ’s vision, mission and goals and found them well-aligned with the new System priorities. Indeed, the Panel confirms that “ICRAF is well positioned to address the new CGIAR priorities…and can contribute to each of the five CGIAR system priority areas”. The Report of the 3rd EPMR makes 15 constructive recommendations: 2 concerning strategic research priorities, 4 on Regions and Systemwide programs, 6 on Governance and Management, and 3 on internal organizational changes. The EPMR Repor t offers as well 43 detailed suggestions for the Center and its Board to consider. The SC fully endorses all 15 recommendations. It is pleased to note that ICRAF agrees with and is already moving to implement 11 of these, and that it is committed to further analyzing in detail the remaining 4 recommendations. Given the nature of the recommendations and concerns these raise, the SC recommends that a smaller-scale, focused review be undertaken in 12 months’ time of ICRAF’s progress in ad dressing 4 of these recommendations, as enumerated below.

    贸易与粮食安全：更好地平衡国家重点与集体利益
    2015
    Also available in:
    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。

    The Protocol of 8-9 July 1946 relative to the dissolution of the International Institute of Agriculture, transferred the functions and assets of the said Institute to FAO. Of these assets, the Library is unquestionably the most outstanding and is a lasting record of the Institute's work and its achievement in the field of agriculture. This catalogue will undoubtedly contribute towards a better knowledge of this international Library. This volume in its present form, represents the systematic card-index, by subject of the Brussels Decimal Classification, in French and English, and it's supplemented by the general alphabetical index of authors.
