Also available in:
Après les recommandations et les accords de la première et de la deuxième Consultation internationale sur l'amélioration du neem qui se sont déroulées respectivement à Bangkok (Thaïlande) en janvier 1993, et à Jodhpur (Inde) en mars 1994, le Réseau international sur le neem a été créé dans le but d'améliorer à long terme la qualité génétique et l'adaptabilité du neem ainsi que son utilisation dans le monde pour contribuer au développement des pays intéressés, et en particulier répondre aux besoi ns des populations rurales. Au stade initial, le principal volet des activités du Réseau était le suivant: prospection, récolte et échange de provenances pour la mise en place d'essais coordonnés au niveau international. Le Réseau a également décidé d'entreprendre des activités de recherche en phénologie, physiologie et technologie des semences, diversité génétique et biologie de la reproduction et variation dans les composés chimiques. Des institutions nationales de 23 pays, en Asie, en Afrique , en Amérique latine et en Europe, participent au Réseau qui est coordonné par la FAO. Les principaux objectifs du colloque étaient les suivants: i) présenter et examiner les activités du Réseau menées en 1995; ii) examiner et adopter les directives pour la conception et la mise en place d'essais de provenances; et iii) examiner les activités futures du Réseau. Le présent rapport résume les discussions et recommandations du colloque. -

Also available in:
No results found.National institutions of 23 countries, in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe, are participating in the Network which is coordinated by FAO. During 1993 and 1994, seed-sources were surveyed and documented throughout the natural range of the species and in areas of introduction. Pilot seed collection and exchange were undertaken to improve the procedures used in these very difficult operations, Neem seed having a recalcitrant or intermediate behaviour. A training workshop was organised in July 1994, in Coimbatore (India), to familiarise network collaborators with the improved procedures for seed collection and exchange. Twenty five seed-sources, representing the eco-geographical variation in the range of distribution of the species, were selected for seed collection and exchange among network collaborators in 1995, for establishment of international provenance trials. Results of seed exchange and nursery production were discussed at a workshop of the International Neem Network in Ban gkok in March 1996. At this meeting guidelines for trial design of international provenance trials were discussed and adopted. Following the Bangkok workshop, approx. 30 international provenance trials were established by network collaborators in some 15 countries, sampling the full range of ecological conditions within the distribution area of Neem. The main objectives of the workshop were to (i) report and discuss the 1996 activities of the network, especially the results of the trial establis hment; (ii) discuss and adopt guidelines for assessment of provenance trials; (iii) discuss the future activities of the Network; and (iv) visit Neem research activities in the field in Myanmar. -

Also available in:
No results found.Following the recommendations and agreements of the First and Second International Consultations on Neem Improvement, Bangkok (Thailand) January 1993, and Jodhpur (India) March 1994, the International Neem Network was established with the long term objective to improve the genetic quality and adaptability of Neem and to improve its utilization, throughout the world, as a contribution to development in the countries concerned, with particular focus on meeting the needs of rural people. The Networ k collaborators decided to undertake activities in relation to provenance exploration, seed collection and exchange for establishment of internationally coordinated trials. The Network collaborators also decided to undertake research in seed physiology and technology, genetic diversity and reproductive biology, as well as studies on variation in chemical compounds. This article summarizes the activities and achievements of the International Neem Network with main focus on 1996 activities, includ ing the discussions and outcome of the International Neem Workshop, held 14-15 March 1996 in Bangkok, Thailand. For a general description of the International Neem Network, its objectives, organization, networking principles, and activities in the early stages of the Network, please refer to the article by A. Thomsen and O. Souvannavong in Forest Genetic Resources No. 22 (1994).

Book (stand-alone)Flagship2015–16年农产品市场状况
贸易与粮食安全：更好地平衡国家重点与集体利益
2015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。 -
BookletTechnical briefThe Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems
Overview
2025Young people stand at the heart of a rapidly changing world. They have the vision, energy and entrepreneurial spirit to find new and innovative ways to cultivate, create, package and transport the food we all need. If adequately nourished, educated, equipped with resources and involved in decision-making, young people can drive economic transformation and global prosperity. This brief presents the key messages and findings from the FAO report The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems – the most comprehensive evidence-based analysis of youth engagement in agrifood systems to date. It highlights both the opportunities available to young people and the structural barriers they face, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers and development actors. The aim is to support more equitable and sustainable agrifood systems, where rural youth are not only beneficiaries but also drivers of change.
