MeetingMeeting documentAllocution du Président indépendant du Conseil de la FAO 2018Les conférences régionales font désormais partie intégrante de la structure de gouvernance de la FAO et jouent un rôle important puisqu’elles transmettent les points de vue régionaux qui doivent être incorporés au programme de travail de l’Organisation. C’est ainsi que l’une des tâches principales de la trente-quatrième session de la Conférence régionale pour l’Asie et le Pacifique sera de fixer des priorités au niveau régional, centrées sur les «résultantes de l'Organisation», qui établissent les résultats à attendre des activités de la FAO. Les priorités dégagées à la présente session seront prises en compte lors de l’élaboration du programme de travail et budget de l’Organisation pour le prochain exercice biennal.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookMeasuring Sustainability in Cotton Farming Systems
Towards a Guidance Framework
2015Also available in:
As a global industry, the conditions under which cotton is grown and the issues associated with its cultivation vary enormously due to differing environmental, agroecological, climatic, socio-economic and political conditions. These varying conditions mean that the cultivation of the same crop may result in significantly different practices and impacts, and that there are significantly different options and capabilities available to address these impacts. An assessment of the impacts of cotton g rowing, and development of the best options for managing impacts, should therefore always be done with reference to the specific context. However, despite these highly variable conditions, and the site-specific nature of appropriate responses, the impacts of cotton growing are often considered globally. Both the cotton industry and cotton as a raw material are assessed either generically, or on the basis of the averaging of information from different countries without reference to the specific p roduction locations. Access to comprehensive, site-specific, robust and uniform data is necessary to ensure that this “globalization” of the impacts of cotton farming portrays the actual impacts as accurately as possible. -
