No results found.One of the greatest challenges for forest and farm producers is that they tend to be marginalized from markets and decision- making powers. They live in remote areas, are dispersed over larger areas, and often find it difficult to access markets and information. For these reasons they are often exploited by middlemen who capture the main share of benefits from natural resources and trade. Reducing poverty is a key focus of the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF), which is helping farmers to access in formation, analyze the market and develop business plans. Empowering forest and farm producers in this way is key to achieving many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). -

No results found.As a large proportion of the rural private sector, forest and farm producers are the primary actors in rural transformation and sustainable development. They possess knowledge and experience essential to shaping effective successful policies and actions. Through its support to local and national producer organizations, the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) is working to ensure forest and farm producers are involved in national decision-making processes that impact their livelihoods and the sustaina ble management of forests, in turn helping to achieve many of the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2015 this support led to major changes in policy in Guatemala and the Gambia that will have a significant impact on the lives of many. -

No results found.Climate mitigation programmes and finance mechanisms like Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) must engage millions of forest farmers if they are to halt deforestation and restore forest landscapes. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been committed to the design of REDD+ strategies, monitoring, reporting and verification systems. But there is still a huge gap in channelling funds to rural actors to lead the response to climate change – in part because nobody is supporting the organisations that have been set up by those actors to make such responses possible. The Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) is working to link forest and farm producer organizations with governments, REDD+ and other climate change programmes to make landscape restoration and an end to deforestation a reality.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookWHEAT NEMATODES OF SMALL GRAIN CEREALS: CURRENT STATUS AND RESEARCH 2015
Also available in:
No results found.The Fifth International Cereal Nematodes Initiative Workshop will be held in Ankara, Turkey during 13-15 September 2015, is an update to the 1st International Cereal Cyst Nematodes Initiative Workshop held in 2009 in Antalya, Turkey. The 5th International Cereal Nematodes Initiative Workshop involved more than 70 scientists from wheat and barley producing regions in 20 countries throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, North Africa and North America. Cereal nematodes are microscopic parasites that in vade roots of wheat, barley, oats and other small grain cereals. The most important of these plant-parasitic nematodes occur in the genera Heterodera (cyst nematodes) and Pratylenchus (root-lesion nematodes). Forty three papers in this volume cover: the history and status of cereal nematodes globally and regionally; research on morphological, genetic and ecological diversity; development and deployment of host resistance including development and applications of molecular technologies; and inves tigations into other strategies for reducing the magnitude of economic damage caused by cereal nematodes. Special emphasis is given to opportunities to develop and deploy integrations of sustainable management practices. The papers provide valuable insights into the impacts of cereal nematodes and endeavors to provide sustainable management options for farmers. The impact of cereal nematodes in reducing crop yields and the efficiency of cropping systems ranges from severe in resource-limited cro pping systems to minor in cropping systems where it is possible to integrate a broader range of rotation crops and resource-intensive inputs. Unacceptable levels of economic loss continue to occur in many countries. International collaboration such as occurred in this workshop is required to ensure that appropriate genetic resources and technologies are developed, communicated and deployed. -

Book (stand-alone)YearbookFAO Yearbook of Forest Products 2000 2002
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Yearbook of Forest Products is a compilation of statistical data on basic forest products for all countries and territories of the world. It contains series of annual data on the volume of production and the volume and value of trade in forest products. It includes tables showing direction of trade and average unit values of trade for certain products. Statistical information in the yearbook is based primarily on data provided to the FAO Forestry Department by the countries through quest ionnaires or official publications. In the absence of official data, FAO makes an estimate based on the best information available.
