This report aims to assess the full impact of the livestock sector on environmental problems, along with potential technical and policy approaches to mitigation. The assessment is based on the most recent and complete data available, taking into account direct impacts, along with the impacts of feed crop agriculture required for livestock production. The livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global.

This evaluation of data indicates that residue levels, as detected in specific food items, were present for each of 41 pesticides. The evaluation is part an on-going series of activities co-ordinated by FAO and WHO since 1963 and designed to advise governments and the Codex Alimentarius Commission of possible hazards to consumers arising from the presence of pesticide residues in food. To this end, panels of experts, jointly appointed by the two agenices, scrutinize data submitted by manufacturers and regulatory authorities. Rigorous evaluation of both submitted data and methodological issues

Site-specific grasses and herbs have gained significance in recent years, primarily for nature protection rather than merely for forage production. This publication describes 25 different grasses and herbs occurring naturally in the middle and high Alpine zones suitable for restoration, including botany and distribution. This publication explores the possibility of lucrative, non-regulated seed production of selected species and is aimed at innovative farmers and seed producers.
