Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureProject achievements and key facts in Iraq between 2020 and 2022
Capacity Development for the Sustainable Management of Soil Resources in the NENA Region to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals
2023Also available in:
No results found.This factsheet summarizes the main findings of a Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) implemented by the FAO office for the Near East and North Africa (NENA) and the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) from October 2020 to April 2023 in Iraq. The project focused on (i) enhancing the understanding of soil characteristics, soil challenges, and management practices in the country, (ii) strengthening national capacities for the implementation of normative tools on sustainable soil management, and (iii) strengthening regional and inter-regional collaboration on sustainable soil management. The factsheet reflects information reported in the national action plan and the national soil laboratory assessment report produced under the project. FAO hopes that all relevant stakeholders in Iraq and in the NENA region will use the findings and recommendations of this document to protect, sustainably manage and restore soils at the purpose of maintaining and increasing food security, but also to increase the country's resilience to climate change for the sustainable development and health of current and future generations. -

Book (series)Manual / guideRisk-based disease surveillance
A manual for veterinarians on the design and analysis of surveillance for demonstration of freedom from disease
2014Also available in:
No results found.Increasing global population and improvements in the standard of living mean that there is a rapidly increasing demand for animal protein with intensified animal production. The international movement of animals and animal products has been made cheaper and faster through improved transport infrastructure. Increasing human and livestock population has placed pressure on wildlife habitats, resulting in closer contact between wildlife, domestic animal populations and humans with spreading and re- emergence of diseases as consequences of these risk factors. Managing these disease threats poses enormous challenges and requires good quality information: what diseases exist; where they are found; what impact they are having; which populations are at risk; how we can prevent, control or eradicate these diseases. Animal disease surveillance plays a central role in providing this information. Risk-based surveillance is not a particular technique; rather, it describes a general approach to und ertaking disease surveillance. The principle is simple and self-evident: the most efficient way to find disease is to survey the animal populations that are most likely to be affected. This is in contrast to the more traditional statistically-based approach of taking representative samples from a population. While the idea of risk-based surveillance is simple, the implications are complex. The approach can be much more cost-effective for some purposes, but if misused, it can lead to serious erro rs or it can be more expensive than traditional approaches. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookDrivers, Dynamics and Epidemiology of Antimicrobial Resistance In animal production 2016
Also available in:
It is now accepted that increased antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria affecting humans and animals in recent decades is primarily influenced by an increase in usage of antimicrobials for a variety of purposes, including therapeutic and non-therapeutic uses in animal production. Antimicrobial resistance is an ancient and naturally occurring phenomenon in bacteria. But the use of antimicrobial drugs – in health care, agriculture or industrial settings – exerts a selection pressure which can favour the survival of resistant strains (or genes) over susceptible ones, leading to a relative increase in resistant bacteria within microbial communities. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
