1.       Looking for national feed consultants(from Vietnam, India, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, China)  who can review trends/developments in feed/livestock sector, describe feed estimation mechanisms and undertake some preliminary analysis on estimating feed demand.  See attached TOR. If you are from one of those countries and think that you qualify, send me your CV (previous work on feed estimation a requirement)  We are also looking for an international feed expert who can draw together best practices on estimating feed requirements-again send me your CV.  This is for a project initiated AMIS (Agricultural Market Information System<http://www.amis-outlook.org/> - a new mechanism set up by the G20 to improve international food market transparency)


2.       FAO's Food Outlook (Hot off the Press): a biannual update on market developments for major agricultural commodities.  Just released: http://www.fao.org/giews/english/fo/index.htm.   More information, including access to domestic prices,  is available on FAO's link to the world food situation at: http://www.fao.org/worldfoodsituation/en/


3.       Food Systems for better nutrition: (http://www.fao.org/publications/sofa/en/ )This FAO report makes the case that healthy diets and good nutrition begin with food and agriculture. Food systems determine the availability, accessibility, acceptability, diversity and nutritional quality of food, and thus fundamentally shape the diets people are able and willing to consume. Other sectors must also be involved, but good nutrition for everyone depends on well-functioning, sustainable food systems. The report provides comprehensive data and analysis on the rapidly evolving burden of malnutrition at global, regional and country levels. It reviews an extensive body of evidence on the specific ways in which agriculture and the entire food system influence nutrition - from inputs and production, through processing, storage, transport and retailing, to consumption.

All the best,
