Also available in:
No results found.Poultry production, and its associated activities, account for around one percent of Indonesia’s gross domestic product and provide the majority of animal protein consumed by 232 million Indonesians. A complex array of poultry enterprises, ranging from intensive commercial enterprises, to small-scale semi-intensive broiler and layer enterprises, to small backyard flockssupply poultry meat and eggs to Indonesian consumers, predominantly through around 13,000 traditional markets countrywide. Some 60% of all Indonesian households keep poultry for food, additional income, entertainment and ceremonial purposes. Since Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza(HPAI) was detected in Indonesia in 2003, the disease has infected poultry in 31 out of 33 provinces, caused the deaths of millions of poultry, and disrupted the livelihoods of large numbers of people dependent on poultry keeping. Outbreaks continue to be reported regularly on islands with dense human and poultry populations, such as Java and Sumatra. HPAI presents a major challenge to the country. An annualized poultry population of approximately 1.5 billion, a large culturally and ethnically diverse human population of around 232 million, a preference for purchasing poultry products from live bird markets, and a decentralized governance system, which has included devolution of the responsibility for controlling animal diseases to more than 450 autonomous districts/municipalities, have all contributed to the persistence of the di sease. The FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) Indonesia works to enhance the capacity and ability of the Government of Indonesia to implement its Avian InfluenzaControl Programme to sustainably control HPAI in order to help safeguard the health and livelihoods of the Indonesian population and reduce the global pandemic threat. This 2009 Annual Report provides an overview of the FAO activities carried out in collaboration with and in support of the Ministry of Agr iculture and local government livestock services in Indonesia. Achievements in the key areas of enhanced management of the HPAI control programme; improved surveillance, control and prevention of HPAI in village-based poultry, in the commercial poultry industry and along the poultry marketing chain are presented. The activities and achievements described in this report were funded by many donors and their contribution and commitment are gratefully acknowledged. -

No results found.Poultry production and the raising of hobby birds are an integral part of Indonesian society. In cities and villages throughout the archipelago communities raise backyard poultry for both profitand pleasure. The poultry industry is one of the key areas of Indonesia’s agriculture and supports a large domestic market in poultry and poultry products. Highly pathogenic avian influenza(HPAI) remains a major threat to poultry and communities in Indonesia. Since it was firstdetected in poultry in 20 03, millions of poultry have died due to HPAI or been depopulated during control activities. In addition, the livelihoods of people dependent on the poultry industry have been disrupted. To the end of 2008, AI had infected poultry in 31 out of 33 provinces. The Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture has been in the front line of the response to HPAI and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has worked alongside the Ministry since 2005. The activities undertaken this ye ar have laid a firmfoundation for establishing a comprehensive HPAI prevention and control programme. Improving biosecurity and husbandry and trading practices will contribute to an overall improvement to poultry health and production. This will directly contribute to improved food security, food safety and welfare of the Indonesian people. This 2008 Annual Report for the FAO Avian InfluenzaControl Programme in Indonesia provides an overview of the FAO activities, carried out in collaboration w ith and in support of local governments and Ministry of Agriculture (MoA). Achievements in the four key areas of campaign management, local government surveillance and control activities, local government Information, Education and Communication (IEC) and prevention activities, and research and development are presented. The activities and achievements described in this report were funded by many donors and their contribution and commitment is gratefully acknowledged. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
