Good practices for the feed sector. Implementing the Codex Alimentarius Code of Practice on Good Animal Feeding
Type of publication: Book Author: Pellegrino Missaglia, A., Bruno, A., Battaglia, D. (eds.) Publisher: FAO Year of publications: 2020 Place of publication: Rome, Italy Other Entities Involved: Internationl Feed Industry Federation (IFIF) Pages: 140 p.

Abstract: This manual provides comprehensive information and practical guidelines to assist farmers, producers and all stakeholders along the feed value chain to comply with the requirements of the Codex Alimentarius Code of Practice on Good Animal Feeding. The application of the Code is an important step for the expansion of international trade of feed and products of animal origin. Both feed/food exporting and importing countries can benefit from a greater and safer trade of feed and products of animal origins. This manual is intended to guide managers of feedmills, the feed industry as a whole and on-farm feed mixers and producers. It will also be of value to national competent authorities, in particular those engaged in feed inspection, in their supervisory roles. It can also serve as a training manual and a guide to setting up national feed associations. Last updated date 30/11/2020 (typo corrected).

Sustainable bioenergy potential in Zambia. An integrated bioenergy food security assessment
Type of publication: Book Author: FAO and the Ministry of Energy of Zambia Publisher: FAO Year of publications: 2020 Place of publication: Rome, Italy Other Entities Involved: Ministry of Energy of Zambia Pages: 276 p. Serial Title: Environment and Natural Resources Management Working Papers ; 84 ISBN: 978-92-5-133474-4 doi: https://doi.org/10.4060/cb1528en

Abstract: Zambia is richly endowed with a wide range of biomass sources including woodlands, forests, agricultural residues and livestock waste. Biomass energy contributes supplies over 70 percent of the country’s energy needs. Due to the current extraction and consumption methods, the use of biomass energy has been linked with detrimental environmental effects such as deforestation and forest degradation as well as climate change, due to the loss of carbon sinks. Inefficient utilisation of biomass contributes significantly to deforestation which is estimated at between 79 000 – 150 000 ha per year, and negatively affects the health and income of rural households that depend on forest products for their livelihoods. Sustainable bioenergy strategies and alternative bioenergy solutions need to be defined and integrated into current efforts of the country to increase stable and sustainable access to energy. This report assesses the country context and defines which bioenergy options can be viable considering a number of solutions for electricity production, cooking fuels and transport fuels at the provincial and district level. Possible options originating from crop residues, livestock residues and forest plantation harvesting residues are identified, having netted out agriculture and forestry needs. The assessment now needs to be followed by local verification and investment to deploy an initial set of bioenergy projects and test the findings on the ground.
