Book (series)Manual / guideNo. 6. Sugar: the impact of reforms to sugar sector policies. A guide to contemporary analyses
FAO Trade Policy Technical Notes on issues related to the WTO negotiations on agriculture
2005This technical note is intended as a guide to assist in the interpretation of a range of existing analytical studies of the impact of current sugar sector policies on world market conditions and on developing country producers, and of the insights that these studies can provide (and those that they cannot) in determining the potential impacts of future reform initiatives. This is especially important in the case of the sugar sector, since recent announcements of major reforms are yet to be fully incorporated into contemporary analytical studies. -

No results found.he FAO Expert Consultation on Strategies for Sustainable Animal Agriculture in Developing Countries was held at the FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy, from 10 to 14 December 1990.Animal agriculture is a complex, multi-component, interactive process that is dependant on land, human resources and capital investment. Throughout the developing world it is practised in many different forms, in different environments and with differing degrees of intensity and biological efficiency. As a result any meaningful discussion of the subject must draw on a broad spectrum of the biological and earth sciences as well as the social, economic and political dimensions that bear so heavily on the advancement of animal agriculture. There is a growing consensus among politicians, planners and scientists alike that livestock production in the third world is not developing as it should, or at a sufficient pace to meet the high quality protein needs of a rapidly expanding human population. The sobering reality is, despite the many development projects implemented over the years by national, bilateral and multinational agencies and often substantial capital investment, there has been little or no change in the efficiency of animal production in the developing world. Livestock numbers have increased substantially in many countries and while the growth in output is welcome, it does not necessarily equate with sustainable productive growth. On the contrary it can, as it has done in the drought prone arid regions, lead to a lowering of productivity and degradation of the rangelands.The purpose of the Expert Consultation was to discuss and formulate specific criteria and questions relating to the planning and implementation of sustainable livestock production programmes in the developing world. There is increasing concern regarding the conservation of the natural resource base and protection of the global environment and FAO attaches highest priority to the sustainable development of plant and animal agriculture. This Expert Consultation is one of a number of initiatives being undertaken by FAO to ensure the sustainability of it's agricultural development programme. The discussion and recommendations arising from this Expert Consultation have been used to help to focus and guide global, regional and national policies and action programmes on the sustainable development of agriculture and have provided an important contribution to the FAO/Government of the Netherlands International Conference on Agriculture and the Environment held in the hague, 15–19 April, 1991. -

Book (series)FAO journal恢复地球—未来十年
Unasylva 252 - 2020年1月第71卷
2022本期Unasylva杂志旨在展示森林景观恢复(FLR)的机会和进展,这些机会和进展能扩大恢复的规模,以实现"波恩挑战"及其他国家和国际承诺(可持续发展目标(SDGs),《生物多样性公约》(CBD)2020年后议程、《联合国防治荒漠化公约》(UNCCD)土地退化零增长、《联合国气候变化框架公约》(UNFCCC)下的《巴黎协定》),并满足2021-2030年联合国生态系统恢复十年的需求。 杂志涉及与各受众相关的主题:i) 与所谓的 "一切照旧 "做法不同的旗舰恢复倡议,这些旗舰倡议能输送更多的资金,更好地赋予当地利益相关者权力,并通过合作伙伴联盟提供更多的技术援助;ii) 可以扩展森林景观恢复的技术进步,由于不同的原因(低成本、适应性、与许多生态系统和环境的相关性、易于实施等),这些技术进步很有可能成为主流。iii) 利于恢复的因素,即协调、政策环境、资源、知识和能力,这些因素都为在当地采取行动创造了有利条件。 -

Book (series)Flagship2022年世界渔业和水产养殖状况
努力实现蓝色转型
20222022年版《世界渔业和水产养殖状况》的发布适逢联合国实现全球目标行动十年、联合国海洋科学促进可持续发展十年和联合国生态系统恢复十年的启动。本报告介绍了如何通过蓝色转型整合和支持这些活动及其他具有同等重要性的联合国活动,如2022国际手工渔业和水产养殖年。蓝色转型是新版联合国粮农组织《2022–2031年战略框架》的一个重点领域,旨在加快实现《2030年可持续发展议程》在粮食和农业领域的目标。蓝色转型的概念产生于2021年2月召开的粮农组织渔业委员会(渔委)第三十四届会议,特别是经粮农组织所有成员商定和批准的《可持续渔业和水产养殖宣言》。该《宣言》呼吁支持“21世纪渔业和水产养殖不断变化的积极愿景,使该部门对消除贫困、饥饿和营养不良的贡献得到充分认可”。在此背景下,此版《世界渔业和水产养殖状况》的第1部分回顾了全世界渔业和水产养殖的状况,而第2部分和第3部分则专门讨论蓝色转型及其关于水产养殖的集约化和扩大、改进渔业管理、创新渔业和水产养殖价值链的支柱。蓝色转型强调需要在未来几年启动或加快前瞻性的果敢行动,以实现《宣言》的目标并支持《2030年可持续发展议程》。第4部分涉及当前影响较大的新问题(新冠疫情、气候变化和性别平等),这些问题要求充分考虑转型步骤和预备措施,以确保可持续、高效和公平的渔业和水产养殖。
