Synopsis (short abstract) Oman’s recent economic growth still depends on hydrocarbon revenue and foreign labour. Sustainable development in the agriculture sector would increase agriculture’s contribution to the gross domestic product and employment, and enable the sector to improve Oman’s trade balance. The objective of the project was thus to support the government in analyzing the existing situation and formulating a sustainable agricultural development and rural development strategy to address the efficient and susta inable use of the scarce natural resources for the improved livelihoods of the Omani people.

    Une stratégie pour l’agriculture durable et le developpement rural à Oman- UTF/OMA/011/OMA 2017
    Also available in:
    La croissance économique récente d’Oman dépend toujours des revenus des hydrocarbures et de la main-d'oeuvre étrangère. Le développement durable dans le secteur de l’agriculture augmenterait la contribution de l’agriculture au produit intérieur brut et à l’emploi, et permettrait au secteur d'améliorer la balance commerciale d’Oman. L’objectif du projet était donc d’aider le Gouvernement à analyser la situation existante et à formuler une stratégie de développement agricole et rural durable pour apporter une réponse à l’utilisation efficace et durable des ressources naturelles limitées, et améliorer les moyens de subsistance des populations omanaises.

    Elaboración de una estrategia para la agricultura y el desarrollo rural sostenibles para Omán- UTF/OMA/011/OMA 2017
    Also available in:
    El reciente crecimiento económico de Omán sigue dependiendo de los ingresos del hidrocarbono y de la mano de obra extranjera. El desarrollo sostenible del sector agrícola incrementaría la contribución de la agricultura al producto interno bruto y al empleo, y permitiría que dicho sector mejorara el saldo comercial del país. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del proyecto era prestar apoyo al Gobierno para analizar la situación existente y formular una estrategia para el desarrollo agrícola y rural sosten ible para abordar el uso eficaz y sostenible de los escasos recursos naturales con el fin de mejorar los medios de vida de la población omaní.

    With Oman’s fishmeal and fish oil production often ofinsufficient quality, and given the significant wastage occurringalong the value chain, the project was designed to develop aregulatory framework that contributes to a sustainable fishmealand fish oil production sector. The overall aim of these effortswas to strengthen the sustainable management and exploitationof national fisheries resources.

    Milk and dairy products in human nutrition 2013
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Milk and dairy products are a vital source of nutrition for many people. They also present livelihood opportunities for farm families, processors and other stakeholders in dairy value chains. Consumers, industry and governments need up-to-date information on how milk and dairy products can contribute to human nutrition and how dairy-industry development can best contribute to increasing food security and alleviating poverty. This publication is unique in drawing together information on nutrition , and dairy-industry development, providing a rich source of useful material on the role of dairy products in human nutrition and the way that investment in dairy-industry development has changed. The book draws together the threads of the two stories, on nutrition and on dairy-industry development, by considering key trends that emerge from the information presented and highlighting the issues that arise from them. It discusses the implications of these findings for the future of the dairy sect or, particularly in developing countries.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.

    Risk-based disease surveillance
    A manual for veterinarians on the design and analysis of surveillance for demonstration of freedom from disease
    2014
    Also available in:

    Increasing global population and improvements in the standard of living mean that there is a rapidly increasing demand for animal protein with intensified animal production. The international movement of animals and animal products has been made cheaper and faster through improved transport infrastructure. Increasing human and livestock population has placed pressure on wildlife habitats, resulting in closer contact between wildlife, domestic animal populations and humans with spreading and re- emergence of diseases as consequences of these risk factors. Managing these disease threats poses enormous challenges and requires good quality information: what diseases exist; where they are found; what impact they are having; which populations are at risk; how we can prevent, control or eradicate these diseases. Animal disease surveillance plays a central role in providing this information. Risk-based surveillance is not a particular technique; rather, it describes a general approach to und ertaking disease surveillance. The principle is simple and self-evident: the most efficient way to find disease is to survey the animal populations that are most likely to be affected. This is in contrast to the more traditional statistically-based approach of taking representative samples from a population. While the idea of risk-based surveillance is simple, the implications are complex. The approach can be much more cost-effective for some purposes, but if misused, it can lead to serious erro rs or it can be more expensive than traditional approaches.
