INTRODUCTION
Only with knowledge can we free the world from hunger,

malnutrition and poverty. According to the Basic Texts of the
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),
the Organization’s first function is to “collect, analyse, interpret and
disseminate information relating to nutrition, food and agriculture”.
FAO plays a unique role as a neutral forum, providing unbiased,

high-quality information across all areas relating to food, agriculture
and sustainable natural resources management. In 2018 FAO
published 829 publications, ranging from authoritative analysis for
policy-makers and expert guidance for farmers to general knowledge
for young people.
In addition to English, numerous reports were also produced in

Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish.
This catalogue includes a selection of the Organization’s most

recent titles, as well as some older publications that have become
references in their respective fields. The Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), agreed by the United Nations and the international
community in 2015, provide the roadmap guiding all of FAO’s work.

plane (i.e. the area of flat land) that characterizes all of
south-western Rome has been carved over the course of
time by small tributaries of the River Tiber (the banks
of which lie a little further to the north), causing the
formation of what we have come to know today as the
hills of Rome. Thus, the entire valley in this area, the
flat zone of the Circus Maximus and the current Viale
delle Terme di Caracalla corresponds to the course of the
tributary known as the Aqua Mariana (commonly referred
to as Marrana), which, having risen in the area of San

Under the gaze of the former Directors-General, it is

worth noticing the furniture of the seating area and
admiring the three stained-glass windows, depicting
various agricultural scenes: people from all over
the world are fishing together, tending their flocks,
harvesting fields or hunting in a forest. A special
artificial light system illuminates the colours and design.
Bands of glass squares in various shades separate these
multi-coloured windows on agriculture, each framed
by small fragments of coloured glass forming a pattern.
The stained-glass windows were designed by the Belgian
artist Guido De Graeve (1928–2005) and executed by the

Control of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia – A policy for coordinated actions

LEAP
FAO ANIMAL PRODUCTION AND HEALTH
PRODUCTION
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is an insidious disease that lingers
in herds, causing significant morbidity and mortality. The policies to address the
control and management of CBPP are in disarray at both the national and
international levels. There has not been significant improvement in the
efficacies of available vaccines or diagnostic assays for several decades. Classic
strategies of mass vaccination and strict movement control that once were
GUIDELINES
perceived as successful in rolling back the disease have largely fallen due to high
costs, concerns of declining impact and growing public resistance. Officially,
treatment with antibiotics is discouraged or prohibited, yet their use is
widespread. CBPP is by all means an enigmatic disease, whose control probably
requires a new paradigm or out-of-the-box thinking and executing approach.
AND HEALTH
paper
The purpose of this document is to provide an evidence-based policy for the
implementation of sound control of CBPP by all stakeholders at all levels –
global, regional and national. It describes a road map to CBPP control that is
cognizant of the situation on the ground. While not being prescriptive, the
document includes examples of combinations of interventions and control
