Tackling Climate Change Through Livestock
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsPublisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 925107920X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
Greenhouse gas emissions by the livestock sector could be cut by as much as 30 percent through the wider use of existing best practices and technologies. FAO conducted a detailed analysis of GHG emissions at multiple stages of various livestock supply chains, including the production and transport of animal feed, on-farm energy use, emissions from animal digestion and manure decay, as well as the post-slaughter transport, refrigeration and packaging of animal products. This report represents the most comprehensive estimate made to-date of livestocks contribution to global warming as well as the sectors potential to help tackle the problem. This publication is aimed at professionals in food and agriculture as well as policy makers.
La situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture 2021
Author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculturePublisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251352003
Category : Political Science
Languages : fr
Pages : 202
Book Description
La pandémie de covid-19 a fait apparaître au grand jour la vulnérabilité des systèmes agroalimentaires face aux chocs et aux situations de stress et entraîné une augmentation de l’insécurité alimentaire et de la malnutrition au niveau mondial. Des mesures doivent être prises pour rendre les systèmes agroalimentaires plus résilients, plus efficients, plus durables et plus inclusifs. L’édition 2021 de La Situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture présente des indicateurs de la résilience des systèmes agroalimentaires au niveau des pays. Ces indicateurs permettent de mesurer la solidité de la production primaire et des disponibilités alimentaires et l’accès physique et économique à l’alimentation, et peuvent donc aider à évaluer la capacité des systèmes agroalimentaires d’absorber les chocs et les situations de stress, un aspect essentiel de la résilience. On trouvera dans le présent rapport une analyse des vulnérabilités des chaînes d’approvisionnement alimentaire et de la manière dont les ménages ruraux font face aux risques et aux chocs. On y examine les solutions qui peuvent être envisagées pour parvenir au meilleur équilibre possible entre le renforcement de la résilience, l’efficience et l’inclusivité. Le but du rapport est de donner des indications sur les politiques à suivre pour renforcer la résilience des chaînes d’approvisionnement alimentaire, soutenir les moyens d’existence au sein des systèmes agroalimentaires, et assurer de façon durable, même en cas de perturbation, l’accès de tous à une alimentation suffisante, sûre et nutritive.
Reconstructing the International Institutional Order
Author: Samantha BessonPublisher: Collège de France
ISBN: 2722605821
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 26
Book Description
States are no longer alone on the international scene. Other institutions intervene alongside States, and even sometimes in their place, such as international organizations, multinational corporations, non-governmental organizations, regions or global cities. Still, one would look in vain for clear indications in international law, including for the basic principles of an “international law of institutions” that could address the three fundamental questions of social and political organization that are representation, regulation and responsibility. What institutions may act in whose name internationally? What are the conditions for their actions to bind us legally and have the legitimacy to do so? And what institutions should be held responsible, by whom and how, in case of violation of international law? The time has come to reconstruct the international institutional order.

States’ Compliance to International Treaties
Author: Louis BodmerPublisher: Graduate Institute Publications
ISBN: 2940600384
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
This research analyzes mechanisms fostering states’ compliance to international treaties. It argues that a treaty accountability network surrounds states when they commit to an international covenant and that actors belonging to the network have leverage on states to hold them accountable. This study is particularly interested in the role NGOs and IOs play as actors within this network. It identifies two main ways for holding states accountable: direct and indirect. Indirect accountability is conceptualized as mechanisms where aid recipients are empowered by organizations and will henceforth hold their states accountable. This research provides a small-N case-study on the UNCRC, maps the treaty accountability network surrounding it, identifies accountability mechanisms developed by one IO (UNICEF) and one NGO (Terre des Hommes Suisse) and examines pathways used by one state (Switzerland). We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Vahabzadeh Foundation for financially supporting the publication of best works by young researchers of the Graduate Institute, giving a priority to those who have been awarded academic prizes for their master’s dissertations.
Physical Activity and Cancer
Author: Kerry S. CourneyaPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642042317
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
This book explores in depth the relation between physical activity and cancer control, including primary prevention, coping with treatments, recovery after treatments, long-term survivorship, secondary prevention, and survival. The first part of the book presents the most recent research on the impact of physical activity in preventing a range of cancers. In the second part, the association between physical activity and cancer survivorship is addressed. The effects of physical activity on supportive care endpoints (e.g., quality of life, fatigue, physical functioning) and disease endpoints (e.g., biomarkers, recurrence, survival) are carefully analyzed. In addition, the determinants of physical activity in cancer survivors are discussed, and behavior change strategies for increasing physical activity in cancer survivors are appraised. The final part of the book is devoted to special topics, including the relation of physical activity to pediatric cancer survivorship and to palliative cancer care.
The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsPublisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251305625
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
The 2018 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture emphasizes the sector’s role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and measurement of progress towards these goals. It notes the particular contributions of inland and small-scale fisheries, and highlights the importance of rights-based governance for equitable and inclusive development. As in past editions, the publication begins with a global analysis of trends in fisheries and aquaculture production, stocks, processing and use, trade and consumption, based on the latest official statistics, along with a review of the status of the world’s fishing fleets and human engagement and governance in the sector. Topics explored in Parts 2 to 4 include aquatic biodiversity; the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture; climate change impacts and responses; the sector’s contribution to food security and human nutrition; and issues related to international trade, consumer protection and sustainable value chains. Global developments in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, selected ocean pollution concerns and FAO’s efforts to improve capture fishery data are also discussed. The issue concludes with the outlook for the sector, including projections to 2030. As always, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to- date information to a wide audience, including policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
Phytomicronutriments

ISBN: 274306417X
Category :
Languages : fr
Pages : 410
Book Description
Cet ouvrage répond aux questionnements scientifiques posés sur les effets biologiques des phytomicronutriments (polyphénols, phytostérols, caroténoïdes, glucosinolates…), dans le double contexte de transition nutritionnelle et du vieillissement de la population, et dans le cadre du rôle potentiel de notre alimentation dans la gestion de notre santé. Fruit d'un travail collectif initié par l'Institut français pour la nutrition (IFN) Les phytomicronutriments présente : - une classification des différentes familles de phytomicronutriments, - les principaux facteurs de variation impactant sur les quantités ingérées et sur leur biodisponibilité, car les effets santé des phytomicronutriments dépendent de leurs niveaux de consommation et de leur biodisponibilité, - leur fonctionnalité puis leur impact dans des populations spécifiques (femmes ménopausées, sportifs et personnes âgées), - les bénéfices/risques de quelques classes de molécules, les plus étudiées : phyto-oestrogènes, phytostérols et caroténoïdes, - une illustration de la composition en phytomicronutriments dans des menus types et la possibilité de les repérer dans les aliments sur la base de la couleur de ces derniers. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux scientifiques, aux professionnels de l'industrie alimentaire, aux professionnels de la santé, aux enseignants et aux étudiants dans le domaine de la nutrition et de la santé.
