Book (stand-alone)Gridded livestock of the world - 2007 2007
Also available in:
No results found.Informed livestock-sector policy development and planning requires reliable and accessible information about the distribution and abundance of livestock. To that end, and in collaboration with the Environmental Research Group Oxford (ERGO), FAO has developed the “Gridded livestock of the world” spatial database: the first standardized global, subnational resolution maps of the major agricultural livestock species. This publication describes how available livestock data have been c ollected and then enhanced by statistical modelling to produce a digital, georeferenced global dataset. It also provides varied and extensive examples of some of the applications for which the data have been used. The publication is intended to provide a formal reference for the dataset and to stimulate further applications and feedback from those most concerned with the development of the livestock sector, be they policy-makers, researchers, producers or practitioners in livestock-s ector development. -
Book (stand-alone)Measuring the Role of Livestock in the Household Economy 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This Guidebook presents a comprehensive module template for effectively including livestock in multi-topic and agricultural household surveys. It includes short, standard, and expanded versions of a livestock questionnaire tested and valided in different countries. The livestock questionnaires differ in the level of detail that can be gauged from each, and have four common objectives: to generate basic statistics on key livestock-related variables, such as livestock ownership; to measure the val ue of household livestock; to measure the cash and in-kind income from livestock; to characterize household livestock husbandry and production practices. The Guidebook is a practical tool for survey practitioners—including Bureaus of Statistics, ministries responsible for livestock, and non-governmental and civil-society organizations, regional institutions, international organizations, the private sector, and other stakeholders—to collect data on the role of livestock in the household economy a nd its contribution to livelihoods and identify priority areas for policy reforms and investments. -
Book (series)Livestock and environment statistics: manure and greenhouse gas emissions
Global, regional and country trends, 1990–2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Livestock statistics made available in FAOSTAT offer valuable information on livestock numbers and production, provided by FAO by country and over a long period. This data is used by the academic community to estimate relevant environmental statistics and indicators, including the availability and use of livestock manure and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Such information is key to help designing and implementing sustainable agricultural practices. The estimates of livestock manure are computed and disseminated in FAOSTAT by livestock type, by country, and in regional aggregates, for the period 1961–2018.
