Book (series)Technical studyRational use of vaccination for control and prevention of H5 highly pathogenic avian influenza (EMPRES FOCUS ON) 2016
Also available in:
Vaccination can play a valuable role in control, prevention and elimination of highly pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) viruses in poultry. However, risk of adverse consequences as well as concerns about availability of sufficient resources to conduct vaccination programmes often restrain countries from embarking on vaccination. This document discusses concerns regarding poultry vaccination for H5 HPAI, with the aim to facilitate decision making in affected countries or those at risk of H5 HP AI incursion. The document contributes to FAO’s Strategic Objective 5 by helping to increase the resilience of livelihoods to threats from HPAI. -

Evidence-based risk management along the livestock production and market chain
2019Also available in:
No results found.Poultry production in South East Asia has been challenged by various animal diseases threats including highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), other emerging zoonotic influenzas and transboundary animal diseases (TADs). In order to mitigate the risk, the Food and Agriculture Organization’s Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (FAO-ECTAD) in collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Australian government is implementing the project “Evidence-Based Risk Management along the Livestock Production and Market Chain” in the region. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookDigital excellence in agriculture in Europe and Central Asia
Good practices in the field of digital agriculture - Stocktaking report
2021Also available in:
No results found.The present report is the outcome of the joint call on good practices on Digital Excellence in Agriculture, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Office for Europe and Office for CIS and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations Office for Europe and Central Asia. The document presents a summary version of the 171 eligible submissions of good practices and innovative solutions advancing the digital transformation of agriculture in Europe and Central Asia. This call complements the joint FAO-ITU review on the Status of Digital Agriculture in 18 countries of Europe and Central Asia (ITU-FAO, 2020)1 and provides evidence on how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play an emerging role in the agriculture landscapes of the regions, acting as an engine for agricultural development. However, the adoption of digital technologies in agriculture differs from country to country, and from region to region. The review in the 18 countries highlighted that smallholder farmers have yet to experience the widespread benefits of this digital transformation, and they are lagging behind when it comes to the adoption of digital agriculture solutions and innovations due to lack of trust in the potential of ICTs, limited digital skills, connectivity issues and restricted availability of ICT-based solutions to utilize and scale up. Realizing the full potential of digital agriculture transformation requires identifying, sharing and implementing best practices and proven solutions across countries, involving all actors in participatory processes. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookHealth and animal agriculture in developing countries 2012
Also available in:
No results found.This book provides an overview of the state of animal agriculture and present methodologies and proposals to develop policies that result in sustainable and profitable animal production that will protect human and environmental health, enhance the livelihood of smallholders, and meet consumer needs. The book combines lessons of the past; a factual foundation to understand the present; analytical tools to design and improve policies; case studies that provide both empirical grounding and applicat ions of some of the strategies suggested in this book; and, finally, a proposal for the way forward. The book is divided into five parts. The first section of the book provides an analysis of the evolution of animal agriculture in the context of the development of farming systems over the years. The second part of the book provides an overview of some of the major strands of literature on the economics and health of animal agriculture. The third and fourth sections of the book emphasize an impor tant case study - avian influenza with applications in Southeast Asia and Africa. Finally, the book summarizes the state of knowledge and current trajectory of animal agriculture and provides policy recommendations to both control animal disease and support research that would lead to prosperous, sustainable animal agriculture in the future. This volume contains contributions from leading researchers in agricultural economics, environmental economics, veterinary science, and natural resource man agement and will be of interest to academics and students in those fields as well as policy makers in government or international organizations that focus on animal agriculture, health, and the environment.
