Book (series)Lumpy skin disease – A manual for veterinarians 2017
Also available in:
The Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a viral disease of cattle that has dramatic effects on rural livelihoods, which strongly dependent on cattle. The disease slashes milk production and may lead sterility in bulls and fertility problems in females. It damages hides, and causes death due to secondary bacterial infections. Although traditionally limited to sub-Saharan Africa, LSD has slowly been invading new territories such as the Middle East and Turkey, and since 2015, most of the Balkan countries, the Caucasus and the Russian Federation, where the disease continues to spread and the risk of an imminent incursion into other unaffected countries, is very high. Veterinarians, cattle farmers, and others along the value chain are facing the disease for first time and are unfamiliar with LSD’s clinical presentation, its transmission routes and the available prevention and control options. This manual aims to fill these gaps by providing veterinary professionals and paraprofessionals with the information they need to promptly diagnose and react to an outbreak of LSD. Cattle farmers will also benefit from reading it. -
Book (series)The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024
Financing to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms
2024Six years from 2030, hunger and food insecurity trends are not yet moving in the right direction to end hunger and food insecurity (SDG Target 2.1) by 2030. The indicators of progress towards global nutrition targets similarly show that the world is not on track to eliminate all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2). Billions of people still lack access to nutritious, safe and sufficient food. Nevertheless, progress in many countries provides hope of the possibility of getting back on track towards hunger and malnutrition eradication. Implementing the policies, investments and legislation needed to revert the current trends of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition requires proper financing for food security and nutrition. Despite a broad agreement on the urgent need to increase financing for food security and nutrition, the same cannot be said for a common understanding regarding how this financing should be defined and tracked. The report provides a long-awaited definition of financing for food security and nutrition and guidance for its implementation. There are recommendations regarding the efficient use of innovative financing tools and reforms to the food security and nutrition financing architecture. Establishing a common definition of financing for food security and nutrition, and methods for its tracking, measurement and implementation, is an important first step towards sustainably increasing the financing flows needed to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, and to ensure access to healthy diets for all, today and tomorrow. -

Book (stand-alone)Afrodescendentes na América Latina e no Caribe: Uma abordagem às realidades sociais e territoriais no mundo rural 2025Os dados do censo nos países envolvidos mostram que os povos afrodescendentes são os que sofrem as piores situações de desigualdade, marginalização e discriminação, especialmente nas áreas rurais. Essa situação é ainda mais acentuada quando se trata de mulheres e jovens afrodescendentes, para quem as oportunidades de acesso a serviços básicos, posse da terra, educação de qualidade e moradia, entre outras, são muito mais escassas. Esse panorama delicado se agrava quando os aspectos analisados são a participação, a autonomia e a autodeterminação dessas populações.Este relatório tem como objetivo apresentar a realidade socioeconômica e sociopolítica dos afrodescendentes rurais, considerando suas principais características, desafios, potencialidades e direitos, a fim de contribuir para a visibilidade de suas realidades, para a compreensão da afro-ruralidade e para facilitar a formulação de políticas públicas e ações com relevância cultural que promovam uma “Vida Melhor”.
