No results found.Sur requête du Gouvernement du Bénin, la FAO a apporté un appui à l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre du projet TCP/BEN/3503 « Appui à la Professionnalisation de la Filière d’Elevage Cunicole au Sud-Bénin - APFECS ». Ce projet vise entre autres l’intensification et la modernisation des systèmes d’élevage de lapins. C’est dans cette perspective que s’inscrit le « Manuel technique de l’éleveur de lapin au Bénin ». Fruit d’un partenariat dynamique entre le Ministère de l’Agriculture, de l’Elevage et de la Pêche, le Centre Cunicole de Recherche et d’Information (CE.CU.R.I) de l’Université d’Abomey-Calavi et la FAO, ce Manuel a pour ambition de professionnaliser les cuniculteurs et les institutions d’appui-conseil. Il met à leur disposition des techniques d’élevage, des méthodes de contrôle des maladies et des outils de gestion technico-économique en vue d’accroître la productivité des systèmes d’élevage et la compétitivité de la filière lapin au Bénin. -

No results found.Dans la nature, le lapin essaie de sélectionner les éléments dont son organisme a besoin quel que soit son stade physiologique. Pour couvrir ses besoins nutritionnels, l’éleveur doit distribuer au lapin un aliment complet équilibré ou du fourrage et un complément alimentaire. Les besoins nutritionnels du lapin se résument en : besoins en eau, besoins en énergie, besoins en lipides, besoins en fibres alimentaires, besoins en protéines et besoins en minéraux et en vitamines. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFiche technique sur la maladie hémorragique virale du lapin 2018
Also available in:
No results found.La maladie hémorragique virale du lapin, encore appelée en anglais Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (VHD), est très dangereuse. Elle est due à un virus de la famille des Calicivirus. La transmission se fait par contact direct de lapin à lapin, par les objets de travail, par les chaussures ou une personne ayant visité un élevage atteint. La maladie se transmet aussi par le vent (le virus est "déposé" sur les particules de poussière transportées par le vent) et par les insectes. Elle n’est pas transmissible à l’homme, ce n’est donc pas une zoonose. La VHD se manifeste sous deux formes, à savoir la forme classique et la forme aigüe. A l’autopsie, on constate une trachée congestionnée qui renferme souvent des mucus hémorragiques mousseux. Les poumons sont congestionnés et hémorragiques. Le thymus est excessivement hypertrophié et atteint le volume du cœur. Le foie est aussi hypertrophié, décoloré, d’aspect cuit, friable et dont les lobules sont très marqués. Le sang présente des défauts de coagulation. Aucun traitement n'est possible. En règle générale, tous les cuniculteurs doivent prévenir la maladie en vaccinant systématiquement tous les lapins âgés de 35 jours à l’engraissement et tous les lapins reproducteurs tous les 6 mois.

Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
