No results found.The growing interest in woodfuels as an environmentally friendly source of energy is leading to an increased number of initiatives and projects in this field. In fact, EU countries expect to reduce their CO2 emissions by 2010 by 15 percent from the 1990 level. One important contribution to this reduction is expected to come from the utilization of wood fuels. This implies that production, trade and use of woodfuels (and other woody biomass) will increase substantially in the coming years and pla y a leading role in the national energy mix. Already, in several developed countries, such as USA and Canada and in Northern and Central Europe, demand for woodfuels for heating and power generation is increasing rapidly. The countries involved are also developing market structures to accommodate this. However, for many other countries there remain several aspects influencing the implementation of wood energy systems which need to be investigated. Some concern economic and financial aspect s, especially their competitiveness against other energy options. These latter needs to be clarified, particularly given the present circumstances of rising oil prices. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
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. -

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.
