9 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/01 Manual on the diagnosis of Nipah virus infection in animals Between September 1998 and May 1999, the outbreak of a new disease in pigs in Malaysia claimed over 100 human lives and devastated the nation s pig industry, causing economic losses worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Subsequent clinical investigations revealed this to have been caused by the Nipah virus hosted by fruit bats, which are found all over Southeast Asia. Classified internationally at the highest biosecurity level, the Nipah virus needs the maximum level of care in the field and laboratory. This manual provides information on the emergence of the virus and detailed instructions for dealing safely with the virus. It includes chapters on risk assessment in field investigations, safety procedures during field and laboratory investigations, all aspects of control and eradication along with guidelines for action by the pig industry and governments to keep the virus out. A series of appendices list hands-on safety instructions and essential safety equipment. 76 pages. 15 x 21 cm. Country: Malaysia RAP publications catalogue 2002 to

10 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/02 Science and technology for sustainable food security, nutritional adequacy, and poverty alleviation in the Asia-Pacific region R.B. Singh 73 pages. 21 x 29.5 cm. Science and technology have played a vital role in keeping agricultural production a step ahead of rapid global population growth during the past four decades. However, Green Revolution technologies did not benefit the vast rainfed and other marginal areas with high concentrations of hunger and poverty. The new farming technologies were also not friendly to the environment, often resulting in degradation of land, water and biodiversity. The region needs to step up agricultural production by 80 percent by the year 2030 to meet its growing food needs. However, because there is very little room for expanding the area under farm cultivation most of this increase will need to come from making existing farmland more productive. This publication examines the agrobiophysical, socio-economic and environmental status of farming systems in Asia-Pacific and the role that science and technology will be called on to play in breaking the unholy alliance of hunger, poverty and environmental degradation. Region: Asia-Pacific 4 RAP publications catalogue 2002 to 2003

11 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/03 Smallholder farmers in India: food security and agricultural policy R.B. Singh, P. Kumar and T. Woodhead The average size of nearly 80 percent of India s over 106 million farm holdings in the early 1990s was less than 2 hectares. Covering only 33 percent of the total cultivated land in the country, these farms produced 41 percent of the nation s food grain harvest up from their contribution of 28 percent in This document analyses national farm census data between 1971 and the latest available estimate for 1991 to highlight the growing role of the country s small farms in national food production. Ironically, smallholder farmers form the bulk of India s over 200 million hungry and poor people today. This points to the urgent need for reversing the decline in public investment in agriculture, while strengthening agrarian reform, infrastructure and institutions, creating off-farm employment and using size and scale-neutral technologies to boost crop and livestock production on small farms. The authors recommend safety nets as well as government initiatives in the international arena to ensure a fair deal to the country s small farmers. 54 pages. 21 x 29.5 cm.

12 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/04 Lychee production in the Asia-Pacific region Edited by M.K. Papademetriou and F.J. Dent 128 pages x 29.5 cm. A compilation of the country papers presented at and the conclusions/ recommendations of the May 2001 expert consultation on lychee production in the Asia-Pacific region held in Bangkok, Thailand. First cultivated in China over years ago, the fruit is now grown in a number of countries with subtropical climates, being most important for Bangladesh, China, India, Nepal, Thailand and Viet Nam. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for more than 95 percent of the global lychee production of over 2 million tonnes. Smallholders with less than 100 trees each are the main producers and the crop is mostly sold fresh, though a third of the lychee harvest in China is dried. The country papers review production, management and marketing of the crop as well as constraints to development. Low productivity, with average yields below 5 tonnes per hectare compared to 15 tonnes achieved in Israel and some other nations and short shelf-life are issues needing priority attention to enable smallholders to gain the most from the high value crop. Countries: Australia, Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam 6 RAP publications catalogue 2002 to 2003

13 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/05 Case study on education opportunities for hill tribes in northern Thailand. Implications for sustainable rural development R. Fujioka Over indigenous persons live in the hill areas of northern Thailand. They are among the country s poorest people and still lack full citizenship and land rights. This document reviews half a century of government support programmes to promote education opportunities for hill tribal people in order to raise their living standards and bring about their integration into Thai society with full rights, while preserving their cultural and religious identity. The author notes the need for: improved participation of and communication with the indigenous people in planning and implementing support activities; local curriculum development; local capacity building; closer coordination among the multiple government support programmes for the hill tribes; and collaboration among government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). 43 pages. 21 x 29.6 cm. Country: Thailand RAP publications catalogue 2002 to

14 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/06 Some issues associated with the livestock industries of the Asia-Pacific region The livestock sectors of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region have experienced phenomenal growth in the last few decades. This has created opportunities for farmers to reap economic benefits, and has also opened the way for people living in the region to improve their nutritional status through the consumption of livestock products. At the same time, the expansion of the livestock industries has created new challenges for policy-makers because of the far-reaching and sometimes unexpected impact that the industry is having on various parts of the economy. This report addresses a number of issues that have been associated with the expansion of the livestock industries and provides insights into the weaknesses of the livestock sector in the region to help policy-makers identify priority areas of research. Region: Asia-Pacific 87 pages. 21 x 29.6 cm. 8 RAP publications catalogue 2002 to 2003

15 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/07 Agrobiodiversity conservation and the role of rural women: an expert consultation report A report of the proceedings of the expert consultation on the above theme, which was held at the University of the Philippines Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines from 10 to 13 September There is growing empirical evidence of the key role of rural women in agrobiodiversity conservation for food security in developing countries. Yet, there is still not adequate understanding of women s contribution in this field. The consultation involved experts working on community-level projects supporting women s participation in agrobiodiversity conservation as well as resource persons who offered critical perspectives on the subject. The document includes summaries of the country case studies and the discussions as well as the recommendations that emerged from the exercise to promote women s role in agrobiodiversity conservation. These focus on strategies to strengthen institutional partnerships among governments, research 42 pages x 27.6 cm. organizations, non-governmental organizations and communities, as well as research, development and extension interventions to support the role of rural women as local agrobiodiversity managers for food security.

16 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/08 Rural and tribal women in agrobiodiversity conservation. An Indian case study 29 pages x 28 cm. This publication examines the role of rural and tribal women as custodians of food plant genetic resources in three ecologically distinct and fragile regions in India. The growing awareness of the threat to food security from agrobiodiversity erosion has led to increased international recognition of the vital role of rural and indigenous people, especially women, in the conservation of food plant genetic resources. The study, conducted jointly with the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation based in Chennai, India, is an attempt to understand gender differential roles, responsibilities, access and control over the resources of rural and tribal women in agrobiodiversity for better designing of plant genetic resource conservation programmes through local stewardship. It documents and analyses the advantages of the various practices used by women farmers who cultivate traditional paddy varieties and minor millets. Country: India 10 RAP publications catalogue 2002 to 2003

17 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/09 Investment in land and water 356 pages. 21 x 29.8 cm. A report of the proceedings of the October 2001 regional consultation on the above theme, the document explains the urgent need for arresting and reversing the decline in investment in land and water development in Asia-Pacific countries. Land and water investment priorities include coping with worsening land degradation, increasing productivity of the region s large rainfed areas and modernising wasteful water delivery and irrigation systems. A Bangkok Declaration issued by the consultation expressed concern over the declining quality and availability of land and water in the region which, together with the serious decline in national and donor support, is a major obstacle to reducing hunger and poverty in Asia and the Pacific. Appealing to national government leaders to show the political will and investment commitment, the declaration urges Asia-Pacific governments to involve both the public and private sector, and people s participation in the sustainable development and use of land and water resources to bring about an ever-green revolution.

18 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/10 Interactive mechanisms for small-scale fisheries management. Report of the regional consultation 153 pages x 26 cm. This document is a report of the proceedings and compilation of the papers presented at the regional consultation on interactive mechanisms for small-scale fisheries management, which was held in Bangkok, Thailand in November The meeting identifies constraints and responsibilities in decentralized small-scale fisheries management and offers practical solutions to the social, economic, environmental and legal constraints to local fisheries management. The fisheries sector has grown dramatically in Asia over the past three decades and the region is now a main supplier to the global fish market. However, the impressive growth has been accompanied by serious challenges in the form of over-exploitation of coastal resources. Country papers included in the publication examine national experiences in small-scale fisheries management in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. Separate papers provide regional perspectives on the issue while experience papers report on the working of small-scale fisheries management projects in the region.

19 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/11 Inland capture fishery statistics of Southeast Asia: current status and information needs D. Coates 114 pages. 21 x 29.7 cm. Inland fisheries play a key role in meeting the livelihood and food security needs of millions of rural households in Southeast Asia, yet do not receive the attention they deserve from national policy makers. A major reason is the lack of reliable information and statistics about the sector compared to marine fisheries and aquaculture. Such statistics provide the basis for opinion, policy, planning and management decisions, even among those who recognize the weaknesses of the statistics. This has led to a significant undervaluing of inland capture fisheries and has implications for the relative attention and investment it receives. This document provides a regional overview of statistics collection and reporting methods used, sources of error in the official statistics and other constraints to data collection, and recommends strategies for improving these. A second section reviews the current state of inland capture fisheries statistics in the eight countries that were reviewed. Countries: Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao People s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam RAP publications catalogue 2002 to

20 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/12 Rural Asia-Pacific: inter-disciplinary strategies to combat hunger and poverty. The rice-based livelihood-support systems T. Woodhead and R.B. Singh This document identifies sustainable strategies to make Asia s rice-centred farmlands yield more food, incomes and livelihoods for the region s over 3 billion people. Stretching from the Solomon Islands and Japan on the eastern rim to Pakistan and Iran in the west, about 135 million hectares of Asia-Pacific rice lands are tended annually by over 300 million people. In addition, they support 200 million bovine livestock and a lesser number of small ruminants. This publication examines the potential of the wide range of rice-based farming systems in the region to meet the food security demands that will be made on them in the coming decades. It outlines a menu of inter-disciplinary strategies and interventions to enable the rice-based systems to live up to the challenge, and the role that FAO can play in this. 120 pages. 21 x 29.6 cm.

22 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/14 Applying reduced impact logging to advance sustainable forest management Edited by T. Enters, P.B. Durst, G.B. Applegate, P.C.S. Kho and G. Man 311 pages. 21 x 29.5 cm. There is growing awareness in timber-producing countries in the Asia-Pacific region of the great potential of reduced impact logging (RIL) to minimize the negative environmental and social consequences of commercial forest harvesting. Developed over several decades as a systematic approach to planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating forest harvesting, RIL has been tried on a small-scale in the region, with promising results. However, it has still not gained widespread acceptance due to a variety of reasons. This publication is a compilation of the papers discussed at the International Conference on the Application of Reduced Impact Logging to Advance Sustainable Forest Management held in Kuching, Malaysia from 26 February to 1 March The meeting brought forth a wide diversity of perspectives and experiences in RIL from around the world, especially with regard to its economic implications. After reviewing the insights provided by the conference, the editors identify knowledge gaps and offer recommendations for various stakeholders in the forestry sector.

23 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/15 From farmer field school to community IPM. Ten years of IPM training in Asia Edited by J. Pontius, R. Dilts and A. Bartlett 106 pages. 18 x 25.5 cm. A comprehensive account of integrated pest management (IPM) as a farmer-centred and local need-responsive approach, which was developed on the rice farms of Southeast Asia to tackle the dangers of excessive pesticide use. The FAO programme owes it success to the pioneering farmer field school (FFS) approach that was first tried with Indonesian paddy farmers in early 1990 and has since become the model for farmer education in Asia. More than 2 million rice farmers in Asia have taken part in over farmer field schools between 1990 and 1999, boosting their yields and incomes, cutting down the use of chemical pest killers and improving the ecological health of their fields. Above all, it has given them greater control over their livelihoods and greater confidence to face new challenges. This publication includes step-by-step instructions on organizing and running farmer field schools along with detailed case studies of farmer field schools in Southeast Asia. A separate section outlines the IPM programme activities in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Viet Nam.

24 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/16 The lychee crop in Asia and the Pacific C. Menzel 108 pages. 21 x 29.7 cm. This publication provides a comprehensive account of the origin, distribution, production and trade of different species of the commercially important fruit crop that is mainly cultivated in Bangladesh, China, India, Nepal, Thailand and Viet Nam. These countries produce more than 1.8 million tonnes of the about 2 million tonnes of lychee crop cultivated annually in Asia, which accounts for over 95 percent of the world lychee harvest. Prepared by Christopher Menzel of the Maroochy Research Station, Queensland Department of Primary Industries, Australia, the document follows up on an expert consultation on lychee production in the Asia-Pacific region, which was organized by the FAO regional office in May It offers a detailed description of the botany and taxonomy of the plant, as well as its cultivation in different areas. Separate sections offer practical advice on orchard management, tackling pests and diseases, harvesting and storage, and review the prospects for the expansion of Asia s lychee industry. Countries: Australia, Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam 18 RAP publications catalogue 2002 to 2003

25 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/17 Focusing small-scale aquaculture and aquatic resource management on poverty alleviation R. Friend and S. Funge-Smith 24 pages x 30 cm. Living aquatic resources play a fundamental role in sustaining the livelihoods of many of the rural poor in Asia, providing crucial buffers to shock and food insecurity, and offering opportunities for diverse and flexible forms of income generation. As with any production-based intervention, the poorest groups face significant constraints to entry into aquaculture. However, aquaculture offers many opportunities for livelihood benefits that other sectors do not. Aquaculture technologies appropriate for poor people are now largely in place. Emphasis must therefore be given to more effective extension of low-cost technologies, appropriate management practices and securing rights of access and control, rather than technical research. This report provides a background to the issues of focusing aquaculture on poverty alleviation based on the conclusions of an expert consultation which was organized in order to provide field-level professionals in Asia with a unique opportunity to come together to share experiences on working in the field of poverty alleviation and aquaculture, and to prepare a platform for future networking.

28 RAP PUBLICATION 2002/20 How design, management and policy affect the performance of irrigation projects. Emerging modernization procedures and design standards H. Plusquellec 156 pages x 21 cm. Irrigation is in a quiet crisis. Despite undeniable past successes in contributing to food production, irrigation expansion has dramatically lost momentum since the 1980s due to a considerable slowdown in new investment and losses of irrigated areas owing to water logging, salinization, aquifer over-drafting and urban encroachment in some countries. However, irrigated agriculture still remains essential for future food security. This publication is intended to be of interest to all stakeholders of the irrigation sector: irrigation agencies, financing institutions, water users associations, planners, designers, and training and research institutions. It provides a useful contribution to the debate on irrigation sector reform and modernization, and to efforts to improve the performance of irrigation by increasing awareness of the critical importance of proper modernization procedures and design criteria.
