    Assessment of agricultural plastics and their sustainability: A call for action 2021
    Also available in:

    This report presents the results of a study on agricultural plastic products used globally in a range of different value chains. The study assessed the types and quantities of plastic products, their benefits and trade-offs. Sustainable alternative products or practices were identified for products assessed as having high potential to cause harm to human and ecosystem health or having poor end-of-life management. The report is based on data derived from peer-reviewed scientific papers, governmental and non-governmental organization’s research reports, as well as from industry experts, including relevant trade bodies. The report’s recommendations were verified during extensive consultation and review with FAO and external experts. The authors hope that the study will provide an impetus for discussion about the use of agricultural plastics, their benefits and trade-offs, and ultimately stimulate action to reduce their potential for harm to human health and the environment.

    Effective control of animal diseases is a critical element of any strategy that aims at supporting and enhancing livestock dependent livelihoods of rural poor. Over the years, the literature on delivery of livestock services has increasingly emphasized that the governments in developing countries have a public responsibility in ensuring that the incidence of animal diseases, specially those diseases that cause substantial economic losses for the poor, is reduced significantly so that the product ion and trade losses are minimized and private costs of treatment substantially reduced.
