Conservation Agriculture and Sustainable Crop Intensification in Karatu District, Tanzania |
|
| Future global food security relies not only on high production and
access to food but also on the need to address the destructive
effects of current agricultural production systems on ecosystem
services (Foresight, 2011) and increase the resilience of production
systems to the effects of climate change. CA enables the
sustainable intensification of agriculture by conserving and
enhancing the quality of the soil, leading to (...) |

Crop residue based densified total mixed ration – A user-friendly approach to utilise food crop |
|
| Crop residues are valuable resources since they form a bulk of ruminant feed in many tropical countries. Due to lack of effective management of these resources, unfortunately they are being burnt in some countries, causing environmental pollution. The digestibility of crop residues and other low quality forages can be increased through the action of rumen microbes by strategically mixing nitrogen and minerals that are (...) |

FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission to Niger, January 2011 |
|
| Despite the flooding in some parts of the country in July and August 2010, the overall rainfall during the main cropping season was adequate. This, combined with the improved distribution of key inputs, has resulted in a favorable cereal harvest in 2010. Aggregate cereals production, estimated at over 5.6 million tonnes (including off-season crop harvest forecasts) is about 60 percent higher than the 2009 output and has (...) |

FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission to Lao, 18 March 2011 |
|
| Most parts of Lao PDR experienced a prolonged dry period at the beginning of the 2010 main paddy cropping season which led to extensive re-sowing and late transplanting. Localized flooding later in the season resulted in loss of crops, especially in the south. At 3 million tonnes, expected national paddy production for 2010/11 (wet season of 2010 and dry season of 2010/11) will be approximately 6 percent down from 2009/10. (...) |

Mainstreaming gender sensitivity in cash crop market supply chains |
|
| This paper considers the impact of gender specific constraints on the production and marketing of cash crops. Cash crop production differs from general agricultural production in that it entails engaging in output markets to make sales. This in turn requires reliable access to these markets, and has implications on the necessary scale and quality of production. Assessing the nature of female involvement in cash crop (...) |

Crop Prospects and Food Situation - No. 3, October 2011 |
|
| Prospects for global cereal production in 2011 have improved since
September, following better expectations for rice and wheat. At the
expected record level of 2 310 million tonnes, world cereal production
would be 3 percent, or 68 million tonnes, above the reduced 2010 level.
n In September, international prices of all cereals with the exception
of rice fell sharply, triggered by global economic slowdown and (...) |

Potential Effects of Climate Change on Crop Pollination |
|
| Climate change has the potential to severely impact ecosystem services such as pollination. As with any change, both challenges and opportunities can be expected. Recognizing that the interactions between climate, crops and biodiversity are complex and not always well understood, the Plant Production and Protection Division of FAO has coordinated this review of the potential effects of climate change on crop pollination. |

Crop Prospects and Food Situation - No. 4, December 2011 |
|
| As the year draws to a close, FAOââ¬â¢s latest estimate confirms a record high global cereal production in 2011, which should be sufficient to
cover the expected increase in utilization in 2011/12 and also allow a moderate replenishment of world reserves.
n International grain prices remained mostly under downward pressure in November, reflecting the confirmation of a strong recovery in production
amid deteriorating world (...) |

Good agricultural governance. A resource guide focused on smallholder crop production |
|
| Good governance is a concept that is difficult to realize in its totality even in countries with strong institutions and an entrenched culture of democratic governance backed by sound political systems. It remains more an ideal to which countries strive by focusing efforts on bridging the gap between what is achievable and where they are now. The task is particularly daunting for developing countries with fragile (...) |

FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission to DPR Korea, 25 November 2011 |

| 1. In DPRK, a total of just under 5.5 million tonnes of staple food production from cooperative farms, individual plots on sloping land and household gardens for 2011/12 is expected, including estimates for the 2011 main season harvest and forecast for the 2012 early season crops. This is about 8.5 percent higher than the revised near normal production in 2010/11 reflecting higher plantings and yields. When paddy is converted (...) |
