Book (series)Manual / guideAfrikinis kiaulių maras šernuose
Ekologija ir biologinis saugumas
2020Afrikinis kiaulių maras (AKM) yra mirtina hemoraginė virusinė liga, kuria serga bet kokio amžiaus ir lyties naminės kiaulės ir šernai. Ši liga sukelia didelius ekonominius nuostolius, kelia grėsmę maisto saugai ir prekybai, bei kelia rimtų iššūkių tvariam kiaulių auginimui paveiktose šalyse. Nuo 2007 m. Gruzijoje atsiradus AKM, liga išplito daugelyje Europos šalių, o 2018 m. ji buvo nustatyta Kinijoje, kurioje yra didžiausias auginamų naminių kiaulių kiekis. Iki 2019 m. rugpjūčio mėn. AKM išplito Kinijoje ir už jos ribų, į Mongoliją, Vietnamą, Kambodžą, Laosą ir Mianmarą. Kur tik šernų populiacijos yra paveikiamos, AKM kontrolė ir jo išnaikinimas tampa rimtu iššūkiu veterinarijos tarnyboms, nes AKM yra įgavęs tarpvalstybinį ir daugiasektorinį pobūdį, taip pat ir dėl sudėtingų šernų ir naminių kiaulių sąsajų. Patirties stoka valdant laukines ir paveiktas populiacijas dar labiau padidina riziką, kad virusas šernuose taps endeminiu, todėl jo išnaikinimas naminių kiaulių populiacijose bus dar sudėtingesnis. Šiame leidinyje apžvelgiami epidemiologiniai ypatumai ir ekologija bei aprašomos tam tikros naujos patirtys Europoje, taikant prevencines šios šernų ligos priemones ir ją kontroliuojant. -
Book (series)Manual / guideAfrican swine fever in wild boar
Ecology and biosecurity
2019Also available in:
The purpose of document is to provide fact based overview of ASF ecology in the Northern and Eastern European populations of wild boar and briefly describe a range of practical management and biosecurity measures or interventions, which can help stockholders in the countries experiencing large scale epidemic of this exotic disease to address the problem in a more coherent, collaborative and comprehensive way. The handbook should not be viewed as an authoritative manual providing readymade solutions on how to eradicate ASF from wild boar. The facts, observations and approaches described in the document are presented with the intention to broadly inform veterinary authorities, wildlife conservation bodies, hunting community, farmers and general public about complexity of this novel disease and the need to wisely plan and carefully coordinate any efforts aiming at its prevention and control. -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideMapping of salt-affected soils – Technical manual 2020
Also available in:
Salt-affected soils such as saline or sodic soils are distributed in all continents at various levels of problem intensity. They are soils with high amounts of soluble salts and/or sodium ions. An updated information of their distribution and drivers is a first step towards their sustainable management. This book provides technical guidelines and approach for developing a harmonized multiscale soil information of salt-affected soils. The book is organized into three sections covering seven chapters. The sections are sequentially arranged but independently designed to benefit focused readership who may want to go straight to any section. Section 1 gives the background information. It has three chapters covering existing literature on the characteristics and mapping methods for salt problems in the soil. It is intended to illustrate the basic concepts, linkage of the characteristics of salt-affected soils with input data requirements for their mapping, existing classification methods, and global distribution of these soils. Section 2 covers the methodological procedures for developing multiscale spatial information of salt-affected soils. It has two chapters describing requirements, input data preparation, and the procedural steps for developing spatial information of salt-affected soils. It outlines how data from different sources and characteristics are harmonized and integrated to produce information of salt-affected soils. Section 3 covers information sharing and resources mobilization when developing information on salt-affected soils. It gives the guidelines for preparing spatial maps and steps for value-addition to benefit end-users of the information. It also contains a generic training program for building technical capacity for mapping salt-affected -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia.
