The case for an expert elicitation protocol on zoonoses
2018Also available in:
No results found.This brief provides a snapshot of the information system on zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Nigeria. It then makes the case for implementing an expert elicitation protocol to assemble data on the impact of zoonoses and AMR on society. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAfrica Sustainable Livestock (ASL) 2050 Livestock and livelihoods spotlight - Kenya 2018
Also available in:
No results found.This brief summarises available evidence on the contribution of cattle and poultry to household livelihoods in Kenya. It relies on available information, including government and research reports and papers. In particular, it attempts to differentiate how cattle and poultry contribute differently to household livelihoods in the different production systems. These production systems were selected and characterized by stakeholders, including the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and the Ministry of Health, as part of the implementation of a one health approach aimed assessing the current and long-term impact of livestock production systems on the economy and people’s livelihoods, on public health and on the environment. -

Book (stand-alone)FlagshipThe State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture 2007The wise management of the world’s agricultural biodiversity is becoming an ever greater challenge for the international community. The livestock sector in particular is undergoing dramatic changes as large-scale production expands in response to surging demand for meat, milk and eggs. A wide portfolio of animal genetic resources is crucial to adapting and developing our agricultural production systems. Climate change and the emergence of new and virulent animal diseases underline the need to re tain this adaptive capacity. For hundreds of millions of poor rural households, livestock remain a key asset, often meeting multiple needs, and enabling livelihoods to be built in some of the world’s harshest environments. Livestock production makes a vital contribution to food and livelihood security, and to meeting the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. It will be of increasing significance in the coming decades. And yet, genetic diversity is under threat. The reported rate of breed extinctions is of great concern, but it is even more worrying that unrecorded genetic resources are being lost before their characteristics can be studied and their potential evaluated. Strenuous efforts to understand, prioritize and protect the world’s animal genetic resources for food and agriculture are required. Sustainable patterns of utilization must be established. Traditional livestock keepers – often poor and in marginal environments – have been the stewards of much of our animal geneti c diversity. We should not ignore their role or neglect their needs. Equitable arrangements for benefit-sharing are needed, and broad access to genetic resources must be ensured. An agreed international framework for the management of these resources is crucial.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
