DocumentOther documentA literature survey on native herbaceous perennials for woodland-style gardens
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Due to climate change, growing cost of labor, and shifts in public attitude towards chemical control of pests and weed, difficulties in maintaining conventional forms of planted landscapes are rising in urban areas. Substituting conventional plantings with alternative vegetation types modeled after natural plant communities may aid resolving this issue. Among various alternative forms of plantings, those based on forest or woodland vegetation are expected to be most suitable in majority of the sites in Korea. However, there is insufficient information available on native forest plants that can be utilized for such plantings. In this study, we have compiled a checklist of native woodland perennials with potential ornamental value, for the purpose of providing basic information in regard to their utilization in urban woodland gardens. The checklist was compiled by the process of screening all herbaceous genera listed within a selection of literatures on the subject of woodland gardening or shade gardening, listing all native taxa belonging to the screened genera, then discarding all taxa unsuited for cultivation under forest or woodland environment. Each taxon was classified as either woodland plant or woodland edge plant based on the garden habitats described by Hansen and Stahl (1993). From the literature, it was determined that a minimum of 293 genera of herbaceous perennials were used for woodland gardens globally, of which 140 genera were native to South Korea. Among the taxa belonging to these genera, 485 taxa were determined to be capable of being used for woodland type plantings. Further research would be necessary for inclusion of taxa with high ornamental value omitted due to lack of information, and detailed evaluation of the ornamental/breeding value and growth requirements of the listed taxa.

BookletOther documentIPPC style guide 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Secretariat of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) produce international standards and associated technical guidance on plant protection measures. The IPPC style guide provides guidance on the content and structure of these publications and related documents, and on editorial style. It is intended to be of practical use for all experts and FAO personnel engaged in the production of IPPC documents, to help ensure consistency between documents. It should be read in conjunction with the FAO style guide, FAOSTYLE.

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportEthiopia: Report on feed inventory and feed balance
2018
2018Also available in:
No results found.Available evidence indicates that pastoral destitution in Ethiopia is principally driven by feed and water scarcity. Feed resources ought to be considered in the broader perspective and not predominantly during emergency as is the case now. Feed inventory and balance is therefore requisite such that the country is aware of its needs, resource availability, gaps, implications and how the gap can be filled within the country. This will make feed interventions in the country effective in the immediate, medium and long term as well as provide solutions for replication in the region. This document presents feed inventory and balance for Ethiopia. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also 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. -
BookletTechnical briefAgricultural production statistics 2010–2023 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The agriculture sector plays a key role in achieving many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), from accessing nutritious and healthy food to developing sustainable agricultural systems, while respecting human rights and working conditions. The agrifood sustainability challenge affects each territory differently, depending on local strengths and weaknesses: understanding these realities is critical in targeting the appropriate drivers of the agriculture sector and promoting effective policies without overexploiting resources.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) contributes key data that harmonize agricultural production data collected for 199 countries and territories. This analytical brief summarizes and highlights relevant patterns from 2010 up to 2023 featured by the latest data published on the FAOSTAT data platform.
