    The Panels of Experts to the FAO Programme for the Control of African Animal Trypanosomiasis and Related Development met in Rome from 1 to 3 December, 1993, to advise the Organisation on Technical, Ecological and Development aspects. The working papers produced by individual experts formed the basis for deliberation. They are reproduced here, in full, in the hope that they will be equally" useful to those engaged in this specialised field and with its implication on agricultural development and natural resource utilisation in Africa. Une réunion du Groupe d'experts du Programme FAO pour le contrôle des trypanosomiases animales africaines et la mise en valeur des zones concernées s'est tenue à Rome du 1 au 3 écembre 1993 en vue d'examiner les aspects techniques, écologiques et de développement en relation avec le programme. Les débats qui ont eu lieu se sont basés sur les documents de travail préparés par les experts qui y ont pris part à la réunion. Ces documents sont intégralement reproduits dans ce rapport. Il est permis d'espérer qu'il seront utiles pour les personnes engagées dans ce domaine spécialisé et ses implications sur le développement de l'agriculture et l'utilisation des ressources naturelles en Afrique.

    Rural youth employment and agri-food systems in Kenya
    A rapid context analysis

    This context analysis provides an overview of Kenya, describing youth employment challenges, policies and programmes in place as well as FAO’s priorities on decent rural youth employment. Finally, it also analyses the country’s migration trends and dynamics. Almost 88 percent of the world’s 1.2 billion youth live in developing countries. Globally, young people account for approximately 24 percent of the working poor. Although the world’s youth population is expected to grow, employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for young women and men remain limited – particularly for those living in economically stagnant rural areas of developing countries. Hence, creating more productive and beneficial jobs for the rural youth is particularly urgent. The FAO Integrated Country Approach (ICA) for boosting decent jobs for youth in the agri-food system project, currently implemented in Senegal, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Guatemala, aims to address this challenge by creating more and better employment opportunities for youth in rural areas and agri-food systems. To do so, ICA combines different interventions, such as capacity development, institutional support, knowledge generation and partnership creation.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
