Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideAgrobiodiversity - a training manual for farmer groups in East Africa 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Farmers play a crucial role in the preservation and sustainable use of agrobiodiversity. In fact, the diversity of species that support our current agricultural production systems has been carefully managed and shaped by farming communities, over the course of the history of humankind. Farmers act as custodian of the Earth’s agrobiodiversity resources, and play a big part in preserving traditional plant and animal varieties, and the knowledge associated with these. FAO has long been working on promoting approaches to agriculture that enable both the sustainable use of biodiversity resources for food and agriculture, and their conservation, and on supporting farmers to make informed decisions on their farm management and production practices. This training manual fits in this broader commitment, to support a shift towards a paradigm of agricultural production that can sustain food and nutrition security while at the same time cause the least harm to natural ecosystems. The manual is intended as an introduction to agricultural biodiversity, and to its relevance to different aspects of agricultural production and management for smallholder farmers in Kenya. It includes eight different training modules, each covering a specific aspect related to agrobiodiversity. The modules are standalone and can be used independently one from the other, depending on the user’s or project’s aim. The materials were originally prepared within the FAO- Netherlands Partnership Programme (FNPP) and have been updated, revised and published under the second phase of the European Union-funded project “Capacity-building related to multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries”. -
Book (series)Technical studyAvian influenza A(H5N6): the latest addition to emerging zoonotic avian influenza threats in East and Southeast Asia 2014
Also available in:
No results found.FAO recommends authorities to increase hygiene and biosecurity in live bird markets, to enhance market surveillance and to strengthen traceability to allow efficient and timely trace back of any positive infection to its farm of origin. Poultry batches from affected areas should always be tested prior to importation. The diverse viral gene pool in eastern Asia, established through cocirculation of many different avian influenza viruses, will continue to give rise to novel reassortant viruses, su ch as H5N6, with unpredictable consequences for animal and human health. Continuous vigilance and monitoring therefore remain needed, along with increased preparedness, especially as the next influenza season is approaching. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical book粮农组织民间社会伙伴关系战略 2013粮农组织多年来一直在技术工作、实地应急行动、培训 及能力建设和最佳 农作规范的倡导等方面,与几百家民间社 会组织(非政府组织、社区组织、专业 协会、网络等等)保持 合作。过去几年,民间社会组织在协调、结构、覆盖面、 动员 和宣传能力方面均有所提升。此间,粮农组织也经历了管理变 革,修订了自 身的《战略框架》,并加大了权力下放的力度。因 此,有必要对现有 1999 年版的 粮农组织《关于与非政府组织 和民间社会组织开展合作的政策和战略》进行一次 审查。 本《战略》中,民间社会指在粮农组织的使命相关 领域中开展工作的非公 共部门参与方。《战略》不涉 及与学术界、科研院所或慈善基金会的伙伴关系, 因为 将由粮农组织的其它相关文件对它们另做处理。 粮食生产者组织因其特殊性质以及与粮农组织使命的特殊 关联,将做另行 处理。原则上,因为它们通常以营利为目的,所以 将被归入私营部门战略,除非 这些组织表示出不同意愿,并符合民 间社会组织相关标准。此类案例均将单独逐 一处理。 本战略明确了六大合作领域以及原理不同、运作方式不同 的两个层面的互 动:全球-总部层面和权力下放层面(区域、国家 和地方)。本 《战略》主要侧重 在权力下放层面与民间社会开展 合作。 在经过审议的《战略框架》中,粮农组织已明确 提出了消除贫困及粮食不 安全的五项战略目标。为 实现目标,粮农组织正在寻求扩大自身与同样致力于 此 类目标的民间社会组织之间的协作关系。
