MeetingMeeting documentПоложение в сфере продовольствия и сельского хозяйства в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе, включая перспективы и новые вопросы 2018Азиатско-Тихоокеанский регион в целом добился впечатляющих успехов в снижении остроты проблемы продовольственной безопасности и неполноценного питания по сравнению с уровнями середины 1960-х годов. В этих успехах важную роль сыграло развитие сельского хозяйства, включая растениеводство, животноводство, рыболовство (Инициатива "Голубой рост") и лесоводство. В данном документе приведен аналитический обзор процессов, которые позволили региону добиться нынешних результатов. В нем анализируются использованные правительствами стран региона различные подходы к развитию сельского хозяйства и обеспечению продовольственной безопасности и питания, которыми и объясняются различия в уровне обеспечения продовольственной безопасности и питания в этих странах. Полученный таким образом опыт используется для оценки перспектив достижения целей в области устойчивого развития (ЦУР), прежде всего ЦУР 2, а также при решении новых и обостряющихся проблем, таких как изменение климата, эндемичные и новые болезни и вредители или их переносчики, урбанизация и старение населения. Делегатам предлагается обменяться мнениями и поделиться опытом их стран и информацией о положении дел в области продовольственной безопасности в регионе, а также представить идеи и предложения по достижению ЦУР.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideProcessing of fresh-cut tropical fruits and vegetables: A technical guide 2010
Also available in:
No results found.There has been a marked upward trend in production and consumption of fruits and vegetables in Asia and the Pacific in recent years. Along with rising consumer demand has come greater awareness of food safety issues and increased need for convenience and quality. Selection of high quality horticultural produce for processing and implementation of good practices during processing operations are required to assure both the quality of the produce and the safety of the final product. This technical guide reviews, from a theoretical and practical perspective, the critical issues that must be addressed for fresh-cut produce to meet consumer demand for convenience, quality and safety. A case study on fresh-cut processing in Thailand is included. The guide should be of practical value to small processors, trainers and extension workers who provide support to individuals engaged in production of fresh-cut tropical produce for sale. -

ArtificiaI intelligence for agriculture
2021Also available in:
No results found.This publication on artificial intelligence (AI) for agriculture is the fifth in the E-agriculture in Action series, launched in 2016 and jointly produced by FAO and ITU. It aims to raise awareness about existing AI applications in agriculture and to inspire stakeholders to develop and replicate the new ones. Improvement of capacity and tools for capturing and processing data and substantial advances in the field of machine learning open new horizons for data-driven solutions that can support decision-making, facilitate supervision and monitoring, improve the timeliness and effectiveness of safety measures (e.g. use of pesticides), and support automation of many resource-consuming tasks in agriculture. This publication presents the reader with a collection of informative applications highlighting various ways AI is used in agriculture and offering valuable insights on the implementation process, success factors, and lessons learnt. -

Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.
