BookletCorporate general interestGood agricultural practices and technologies to mitigate the impacts of natural disasters in wheat production in Serbia 2021
Also available in:
Natural disasters, such as droughts, extreme temperature fluctuations, floods, and stormy winds, have gradually intensified in the past years. It is expected, due to climate change, that these disasters will become more frequent and pronounced. According to the Second Biennial Updated Report and the Third National Communication of the Republic of Serbia submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2019, the Republic of Serbia is among the most endangered European countries in terms of natural disasters and climate change. Agriculture is one of the sectors most dependent on climate so is very sensitive to variation in environmental conditions and climate change. Agriculture activities and the people depending on this sector can be significantly affected by climate change. Thus, the Republic of Serbia’s economy is affected since the agriculture sector greatly contributes to gross domestic product (GDP) and provides employment to many rural people. The Serbian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Water Management (MAFWM) want to increase the readiness of wheat producers and other agricultural producers to mitigate the impacts of natural disasters and climate change. -

Sesame (Sesamum Indicum)
2023Also available in:
Thorough reviews of Myanmar GAP guidelines 2018 and ASEAN GAP standards were conducted. Collaborative GAP situational analysis identified gaps in knowledge, access, and efficiency in inputs and service provision. Extensive secondary research, farmer discussions, and stakeholder insights provided a strong basis for sesame GAP upgrade. GAP promotion aims for systematic, field-based, impact-oriented rollout with stakeholder involvement. Capacity-building encompasses, local practitioners, lead farmer organizations, public-private partners, and value chain actors. The GAP framework includes concise key messages for agronomic success in each crop practice. Capacity-building through improved demonstrations, market linkages, and input suppliers, along with support for practitioners and extension agents, is central to successful GAP rollout. Farmer field schools, IPM training, exposure visits, and Information and communications technology (ICT) tools will further supplement GAP promotion.

Book (series)Technical studyAssessment and management of biotoxin risks in bivalve molluscs 2011
Also available in:
No results found.Biotoxins produced by certain algal species can be accumulated by bivalve molluscs. This constitutes one of the major public health risks that need to be managed during shellfish production. With a view to aiding risk assessment, monitoring and surveillance programmes, this paper provides a range of information about the various biotoxins globally recorded in shellfish: levels detected, toxicological data, methods of analysis for detection and quantification of toxins, and the risk assessment ap proach for public health management. The complex chemical nature of the toxins, along with several analogues, hampers the development and validation of methods for their detection, for the evaluation of their toxicity and for the development of limits for shellfish safety management. This paper also illustrates the approach taken by the Codex Alimentarius Commission in developing guidelines for bivalve shellfish safety management and for establishing Codex standards for live and raw bivalve moll uscs. -
ArticleJournal articleNurturing Soil Life through Agroforestry – The Roles of Trees in the Ecological Intensification of Agriculture 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Soil resources constitute the very foundation of agriculture, so sustainable agriculture is inherently dependent on soil health. Soil health reflects the capacity of soil to respond beneficially to agricultural management, maintaining both agricultural production and the provision of varying ecosystem services, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity conservation in the long term. Soil health depends on the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the soil that are required for plant growth and development. Ecological intensification differs from current strategies for agricultural intensification by embracing agroecological transitions to more sustainable agriculture and food systems. This chapter discusses the pivotal role that trees play in building and maintaining the soil health and functional resilience that are required for the ecological intensification of agriculture. It summarizes the current knowledge about functions and impacts of trees on soil health, and highlights the tree/soil biodiversity interactions that drive these functions. -
