ArticleJournal articleEconomic analysis of enhanced biosecurity practices in three types of chicken farms in Northern Vietnam 2020
Also available in:
No results found.This paper describes the adoption of the Enhanced Biosecurity Practices (EBP) recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Vietnam’s Department of Livestock Production (DLP) and compare profitability between adopters, who were supported by a project, and non-adopters in 5 provinces of Vietnam. On-farm interviews were conducted on 34 broiler farms, 20 chicken breeder farms, and 40 hatchery operations. The study found that all project supported model farmers were aware of proper biosecurity management and its role in chicken production. The percentage of farms that adopted EBPs differed widely between the two farms groups (model and control farms). Almost all biosecurity measures recommended by FAO-DLP were implemented by model farms, except for 2 measures: keeping daily farm records and spraying disinfectants on transportation vehicles and before entering the farms. In terms of antibiotic use, model farms use less antibiotic than control farms in both chicken broiler and layer production. The results show that the recommended biosecurity practices in the chicken production chain substantially increase productivity, resulting in an increase in farms’ profitability. In general, the profit markup of the model farms was higher than that of control farms in all types of chicken production. Model chicken breeder farms had highest profit markup (61.1%), followed by model chicken hatcheries (41.9%), and model chicken broiler farms (25.6%), while control chicken broiler farms had the lowest profit markup (6.31%). Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that the EBP should be promoted among chicken producers as a means to increase profits. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical book粮农组织民间社会伙伴关系战略 2013粮农组织多年来一直在技术工作、实地应急行动、培训 及能力建设和最佳 农作规范的倡导等方面,与几百家民间社 会组织(非政府组织、社区组织、专业 协会、网络等等)保持 合作。过去几年,民间社会组织在协调、结构、覆盖面、 动员 和宣传能力方面均有所提升。此间,粮农组织也经历了管理变 革,修订了自 身的《战略框架》,并加大了权力下放的力度。因 此,有必要对现有 1999 年版的 粮农组织《关于与非政府组织 和民间社会组织开展合作的政策和战略》进行一次 审查。 本《战略》中,民间社会指在粮农组织的使命相关 领域中开展工作的非公 共部门参与方。《战略》不涉 及与学术界、科研院所或慈善基金会的伙伴关系, 因为 将由粮农组织的其它相关文件对它们另做处理。 粮食生产者组织因其特殊性质以及与粮农组织使命的特殊 关联,将做另行 处理。原则上,因为它们通常以营利为目的,所以 将被归入私营部门战略,除非 这些组织表示出不同意愿,并符合民 间社会组织相关标准。此类案例均将单独逐 一处理。 本战略明确了六大合作领域以及原理不同、运作方式不同 的两个层面的互 动:全球-总部层面和权力下放层面(区域、国家 和地方)。本 《战略》主要侧重 在权力下放层面与民间社会开展 合作。 在经过审议的《战略框架》中,粮农组织已明确 提出了消除贫困及粮食不 安全的五项战略目标。为 实现目标,粮农组织正在寻求扩大自身与同样致力于 此 类目标的民间社会组织之间的协作关系。

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
