Livestock and the environment Finding a balance
1995Also available in:
No results found.The degree of potential environmental impacts of the different livestock production systems are illustrated crudely by their relative consumption of feeds. The types of environmental impacts likely to derive from the production, transport and processing of feeds are outlined in Chapter 4, being mainly due to land-use and cropping for commodity production. Possible direct and indirect indicators of these impacts are identified in Chapter 5, though these remain to be tested in particular applicati ons. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookCarbon neutral tea production in China – Three pilot case studies 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector is responsible for about 25 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, but can also be an important part of the solution to climate change, through adaptation and mitigation efforts.As part of its Strategy on Climate Change, FAO is developing the low carbon agricultural commodities approach , based on emission reductions along entire agricultural value chains, with tea and its business model being the first commodity to be evaluated. This report, developed in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), assesses the potential of lowcarbon and carbon neutral approaches to tea production. As the largest producer and consumer of tea in the world, China is collaborating with FAO to develop an overall framework and minimum standards for sustainable tea production. This report, based on the case studies carried in three tea fields in Southeast China, provides evidence regarding the results, impacts and achievements of the pilot conducted by the Chinese Academy of Agriculture Sciences (CAAS). The report develops a methodology for accounting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and an estimation of the mitigation and carbon sequestration potential based on the experiences in the pilot tea gardens in China. The report also sets up the key elements of the enabling environment in order to promote the replication of the model to other countries and the base work for a potential low carbon and/or carbon neutral tea certification. -

Adopted 2022
2022This standard provides the requirements and guidelines for the preparation and issuance of phytosanitary certificates (phytosanitary certificates for export and phytosanitary certificates for re-export). Specific guidance on requirements and components of a phytosanitary certification system to be established by national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) is provided in ISPM 7 (Phytosanitary certification system).
