    Also available in:
    Es éste el segundo número de la publicación Examen de las políticas alimentarias básicas, que trata de la evolución de las políticas relativas a la producción, el consumo, la comercialización y el comercio de cereales, semillas oleaginosas y productos agropecuarios, durante el período 2001-2002. La información contenida en el presente informe procede de las respuestas de los países a los cuestionarios de la FAO y de otras fuentes a disposición del público. El período examinado estuvo m arcado por varios acontecimientos importantes, en especial el Acuerdo de la Conferencia Ministerial de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) celebrada en Doha, que dio comienzo a una nueva ronda de negociaciones comerciales multilaterales. Dicho Acuerdo ha dado lugar a los debates sobre agricultura actualmente en curso que incluyen el examen de la experiencia adquirida hasta la fecha en materia de aplicación del Acuerdo sobre Agricultura de la Ronda Uruguay (AARU). Así pues, se es pera que el examen de las políticas agrícolas que figura en este informe y en otros de la presente publicación pueda ayudar a los países a preparar sus negociaciones en materia de agricultura.

    Standard operating procedure for soil available phosphorus - Olsen method 2021
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This procedure is suitable for calcareous, alkaline, neutral, and slightly acidic soils containing CaPO4, since the calcium concentration in the solution is suppressed by the precipitation of CaCO3, increasing PO4 concentration in solution. Neutral and slightly acid soils (pH 6.0 to 7.0) may contain both Ca- and Al-phosphates. The NaHCO3 extractant can remove Ca-phosphates and phosphate adsorbed on the surface of calcium and magnesium carbonates along with Al-phosphates and is considered the most suitable extractant for these soils.

    Taro cultivation in Asia and the Pacific 1999

    Taro, Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott occupies a significant place in the agriculture of the Asia-Pacific Region. It is in this region, more than any other in the world, that the crop attains its greatest importance as a staple food. In Oceania particularly, taro plays a critical role in the household, community, and national food security. Since both corms and leaves are usually consumed, taro supplies much-needed protein, vitamins, and minerals, in addition to carbohydrate energy. The socio-cultural importance of taro in the region is very high. The crop has evolved to be an integral part of the culture and features prominently in festivals, social gift-giving, and the discharge of social obligations. More recently, taro has become a source of income for individuals, and an earner of foreign exchange. Its role in rural development has therefore been increasing, especially with respect to the provision of employment and the alleviation of rural poverty. Given the importance of taro, activities need to be geared toward its research, development, and available literature. This book is, therefore, a valuable and timely effort to fill some of the information gaps with respect to taro in the Asia-Pacific Region. Apart from a general coverage of the region, it delves into a country-by-country treatment of taro cultivation in 19 of the most important taro-growing countries in the region. The publication will be a useful reference source for researchers, extension workers, growers, and entrepreneurs who are interested in taro. The presentation has placed emphasis on clarity and simplicity to permit easy understanding even by persons for whom English is a second language.

    Food loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste.
