Understanding these costs helps prioritize resources and evaluate control strategies. The OutCosT tool is designed to assess the direct costs of avian diseases, such as avian influenza and Newcastle disease, though it doesn’t account for indirect costs like global trade or human health.

贸易与粮食安全：更好地平衡国家重点与集体利益
2015全球农产品和粮食产品贸易已在最近几十年取得快速增长，各国作为出口或进口方越来越多地参与这一贸易进程。这种趋势预计将在今后几十年中持续。因此，贸易将在全球各区域对粮食安全的程度和性质产生越来越重要的影响。我们面临的挑战就是确保农产品贸易的扩大能对消除饥饿、粮食不安全和营养不良起到促进作用，而不是阻碍作用。 本版《农产品市场状况》旨在缓解目前各方在农产品贸易对粮食安全产生的影响以及如何管理农产品贸易以确保贸易开放度的增加能惠及所有国家等问题上出现的观点两极分化现象。本书通过就一系列话题举证和说明，努力促成各方就政策选择开展有实证依据的辩论，并在政策选择过程中努力实现必要的改进。
