Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the Fifth External Program and Management Review (EPMR) of the Africa Rice Center (WARDA) 2008
Also available in:
No results found.The Report of the 5th EPMR of WARDA was discussed at the Eighth Meeting of the Science Council (SC), at Bioversity Internationals HQ in Maccarese, Italy. The rising importance of rice in SSA is the rationale given by WARDA for its planned expansion into East and Central Africa, which initially contemplates increasing member states from 17 to 21. The Panel notes that WARDA has conducted very relevant work, focusing both on genetic and non-genetic solutions to rice production systems in Africa . The SC welcomes the recent alignment with IRRI and CIAT on rice, and encourages WARDA to adopt a strategic view towards its own research on rice for African environments, taking advantage of the specific opportunities identified in the Panels report. There should be constant efforts to assess and enhance all aspects of science, and not to overstretch critical mass by too rapid an expansion to East and Southern Africa. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the Sixth External Program and Management Review (EPMR) of the International Potato Center (CIP) - CGIAR 2008
Also available in:
No results found.During the last five years CIP has undergone a series of important changes that have affected significantly the life of the Centre. Soon after the 2002 EPMR, the Centre committed itself to produce the necessary changes to adapt to “corresponding changes” in its external environment. The high positive correlation between potato/sweet potato production areas and poverty assures CIP that by concentrating its research work on these two commodities, significant economic, employment, health and other beneficial impacts on the poor can be realized. Indeed, a recent exante impact assessment study conducted by CIP shows that the Center’s research agenda offers significant opportunities to contribute to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) over the coming decades. It has been quite evident to the Panel that CIP has a clear and relevant future down the road. -

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. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest book地理标志食品的营养与健康潜力 2022
Also available in:
在很多重要文件中，传统食品、饮食和粮食体系在大众营养状况中所发挥的重要作用得到了认可。社会经济、生物多样性、自然资源可利用性及地理标志的使用都会影响营养和饮食，但关于前三项的研究比最后一项要多得多。在促进健康饮食和遏制非传染性疾病方面，地理标志食品的潜力值得探索。本书共有五个案例，研究了五种已注册的地理标志食品的营养潜力。 本书探讨了生产过程和最终产品营养成分之间的关系。事实上，这些食品的营养特性在很大程度上可以归因于它们独特的成分和生产过程，与其地理来源密切相关。对营养成分的分析既需要考虑普通的营养素，还要考虑生物活性化合物，后者通常不会出现在营养成分表中。 本书也探究了一些与个案研究对象相似但不一定认证了地理标志的食品。在个案研究后，本书第三部分简要探讨了三个专题：规范地理标志食品以保持和提高营养质量、地理标志食品在健康饮食中的作用以及食品成分测定。第四部分讨论了本书的局限性，并提出了以地理标志食品促进健康饮食的建议。很多受地理标志保护的传统食品是发酵食品，因此，附录涉及了益生菌、益生元和肠道菌群。 -
