    Good beekeeping practices for sustainable apiculture 2021
    Also available in:
    Bees provide a critical link in the maintenance of ecosystems, pollination. They play a major role in maintaining biodiversity, ensuring the survival of many plants, enhancing forest regeneration, providing sustainability and adaptation to climate change and improving the quality and quantity of agricultural production systems. In fact, close to 75 percent of the world’s crops that produce fruits and seeds for human consumption depend, at least in part, on pollinators for sustained production, yield and quality. Beekeeping, also called apiculture, refers to all activities concerned with the practical management of social bee species. These guidelines aim to provide useful information and suggestions for a sustainable management of bees around the world, which can then be applied to project development and implementation.

    There have always been people in communities the world over who keep bees for their products and services that they offer. Bees produce numerous products, the most popular being honey, as well as beeswax. Importantly bees provide for pollination services that not only ensure a good harvest, with increased yields, but quality of the harvested produce. More practically, however, a colony of bees provides food and income for the farm family and not only. This booklet is intended to raise awareness and promote beekeeping, among people and organizations involved in supporting small-scale farming, as a successful diversification enterprise that small-scale farmers in rural, peri-urban and urban centres can integrate into their farming systems easily.

    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.
