No results found.The second meeting of the EASTMED Permanent Working Group on Stock Assessment was held in Kavala (Greece) from 9 to 14 of September 2013. It was attended by experts from Egypt, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, and Turkey as well as FAO staff. The meeting had six main general objectives i) to identify surveys and fishery-dependent data collection projects carried out in the last 10 years in each country of Eastmed area; ii) to provide advice on how to increase the standardization between surveys c arried out in the Eastmed area; iii) to process with the raw data as collected through the pilot activities supported by the project and/or supported by the countries in the framework of the DCF, in order to produce stock assessments aiming to be presented in the GFCM WGs, iv) to make an effort to define a few shared stocks in order to monitor through the GFCM management plans, v) to discuss the possibility of establishing two WGs on stock assessment, one for demersals and one for small pelagics , vi) to define gaps existed in the sampling protocol which is used during the implementation of the pilot activities on data collection and decide on amendments. Furthermore five stock assessments were accomplished out and other preliminary analyses were carried out. The five stocks assessed, represented also by two Lessepsian species, showed a state of overfishing with the exception of Spicara smaris in GSA 25. The outcomes provided by such analyses will be presented during the next GFCM WG on demersal. -

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of the World's Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture (SOLAW)
Managing systems at risk
2011This edition of The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture presents objective and comprehensive information and analyses on the current state, trends and challenges facing two of the most important agricultural production factors: land and water. Land and water resources are central to agriculture and rural development, and are intrinsically linked to global challenges of food insecurity and poverty, climate change adaptation and mitigation, as well as d egradation and depletion of natural resources that affect the livelihoods of millions of rural people across the world. Current projections indicate that world population will increase from 6.9 billion people today to 9.1 billion in 2050. In addition, economic progress, notably in the emerging countries, translates into increased demand for food and diversified diets. World food demand will surge as a result, and it is projected that food production will increase by 70 percent in t he world and by 100 percent in the developing countries. Yet both land and water resources, the basis of our food production, are finite and already under heavy stress, and future agricultural production will need to be more productive and more sustainable at the same time.
