The Yak
The yak must be regarded as one of the world's most remarkable domestic animals. It thrives in conditions of extreme harshness and deprivation while providing a livelihood for people. Chinese historians have argued that without the yak's capacity to live in such a hostile environment, human civilization might not have established and flourished in these remote areas. This book traces the development of this remarkable animal and then describes in detail its characteristics, performance and products. There is also a discussion of more recent research and development projects that may provide a basis for improvements in yak performance and in the utilization of rangelands. This research may lead to a wider distribution for the yak and to the better utilization of yak products. Any marked changes in yak husbandry are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the social fabric of a society of pastoralists.

Fifteen years implementing the Right to Food Guidelines
The Right to Food Guidelines provide practical guidance on ways to implement the right to adequate food in a wide range of policy and programmes areas through a human rights-based approach. Since the adoption of the Right to Food Guidelines, FAO and its partners have produced a wealth of tools, strengthened capacity, and facilitated multi-stakeholder dialogues worldwide. But the goal of realizing the right to food of everyone is not accomplished yet- over 820 million people are currently suffering from chronic hunger. This fifteen-Year Retrospective on the Right to Food Guidelines helps us look back and understand what has worked and why, where the bottlenecks lie, and how governments and their partners can be most effective in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.
