    Training Guide for Extension Agents and Farmers in Eastern Europe and Central Asia

    Agriculture in Eastern Europe and Central Asia is diverse, and has great potential to revitalize the economy of the countries in the region via improved productivity (efficiency) and higher total yield for food, fodder and fibre crops. Conservation agriculture can rise to the major challenge of making sustainable intensification of production systems a reality. In order for farmers to transition to appropriate sustainable production systems, the provision of an adequate enabling environment and access to knowledge and services, including extension, mechanization, inputs and market intelligence, are crucial. This Guide is designed to provide coherent technical tools to Farmer Field Schools and extension service facilitators of conservation agriculture. Furthermore, the Guide is suitable for use within universities’ agriculture curricula.

    Population growth, rapidly increasing urbanization and growth in income in developing countries are creating a tremendous increase in the demand for food of animal origin. This livestock revolution is demand-driven, illustrated by the fact that meat consumption in developing countries grew approximately three times more than it did in the developed world during the period from the early 1970s to the mid 1990s. During the same period the production of animal food products also grew most dramatically in the countries with the increased demand. In fact the meat production in developing countries, with the exception of sub-Saharan Africa, grew at more than five times the rate in the developed countries. The projections of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) using IMPACT (International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Consumption) are that the consumption of meat and milk in developing countries will grow by about 3 percent per year between now (2003) and 2020 (Delgado et al., 1999). It is likely that this will improve the livelihood of small and medium scale market oriented farmers but only if an enabling environment is created including access to credit, development of infrastructure and animal production and health services. Farmers need access to information regarding disease control and livestock management supporting their ability to decide where to invest their resources to increase production and productivity.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.
