Trade, Environment, And Sustainable Development
Excerpt: The linkages between international agricultural trade and environmental sustainability are an important topic of debate at the ongoing negotiations on agriculture. There is the desire on the one hand that environmental issues be fully reflected in trade policy, but concern that they should not be used as barriers to trade.
Trade Issues for Forest Products
Excerpt: Global consumption of total roundwood rose from around 2 400 million m3 in 1970 to 3 275 million m3 in 1999. Despite the sizeable growth, only about 7 percent of the production enters international trade as primary forest products reflecting the fact that over half is used for fuelwood and charcoal, most of which is used domestically. Nevertheless, global trade of primary forest products has risen substantially, reaching US$136 billion in 1999. In addition to th...
Agricultural Trade and Food Security
Excerpt: Trade contributes to food security in a number of ways: it augments domestic supplies to meet consumption needs; it reduces supply variability, though not necessarily price instability; it fosters economic growth; it makes efficient use of world resources; and it permits global production to take place in those regions most suited to it. Trade is of continuing importance for both developed and developing countries.
Food Quality, Safety and International Trade : Codex Alimentarius ...
Excerpt: The Uruguay Round gave prominence to an area almost untouched by previous rounds of trade negotiations: food quality and safety.

Cuestiones Relativas Al Comercio de Los Productos Forestales
