DocumentOther documentGrowth performance of the Teak's (Tectona grandis Linn.f) different planting stocks
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The growth of plantation is dependent on a complex series of interactions between genetics and environmental factors, and the planting stocks including planting methods. For the successful establishment of a plantation, the economically effective means should be explored, as teak plantation is being established in Myanmar especially for commercial purposes including forest rehabilitation purposes. This study was conducted in the 12 years old Teak plantation that was established in compartment No. 24 of Ngalaik Reserved Forest and managed by Forest Research Institute. This plantation was established with different planting stocks; tissue culture seedling, shoot cutting seedling, potted seedling, fresh stump seedling, and grafted seedling in 2008. The main objective of this trial is to explore the growth performance of Teak plantation by applying the different planting stocks. Randomized completely block design (RCBD) was used with 5 replications (5 blocks). In one block, there are 5 plots in which totally of 49 trees were planted in each sub-plot with 2.7 m by 2.7 m spacing. There was a total of 1,225 planted trees in this trial. As a preliminary step, in 2019 through the measurement data, the total basal area of trial area (0.92 ha) is 16.46 m2 (17.89 m2 ha-1), the total volume is 96.47 m3 (104.86 m3 ha-1) [here calculated cone factor = 0.359822 is used], and mean annual increment (MAI) is 9.53 m3 ha-1 yr -1. Among the different planting stocks, the potted seedling plant was significantly better in growth as compared to those of other planting stocks, nonetheless, survival percentages among them were not significant. Now, we conduct this follow-up study to explore the growth performance of this 12 years old teak plantation of different planting stocks. We expect this study’s findings will be supported the useful and applicable information for the commercial plantation program to raising environmentally friendly and economically successful teak plantations.

MeetingMeeting documentEvaluation of the effect of lunar cycle, monsoon and spatial differences on billfishes 2013
Also available in:
No results found.Information on the abundance of resources in time and space is a prerequisite for the success of any fishing operation. Billfishes form a major constituent of Tu longline fishery around Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the effect of the lur cycle and monsoon on the catch rate of billfishes. The study is based on tu longline survey carried out by M.V. Blue Marlin, survey vessel attached to the Fishery Survey of India, Port Blair around A&N Islands. Catch rate s recorded at different latitudes showed that billfishes are more abundant in upper latitude of the region. The results of the present study indicated that there is a significant effect of the lur cycle on the catch rate of billfishes occurring in the Andaman and Nicobar waters. However, it has been observed that the monsoon effect has no significance on the catch rates. Downward trend of year wise catch rate noticed during the study period warrant strict magement measures. The effect of monsoon and the lur cycle on Billfishes caught by tu longline and the likely reason for that were elucidated in the text. -

Book (series)High-profileFAO’s Smarter investments Up-scaled development – FAO Multipartner Programme Support Mechanism Selected highlight of achievements and success stories 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This Marketing Report presents the results of FAO’s Multi-Partner Programme Support Mechanism (FMM) achievements from 2014 to 2017. It demonstrates clearly that the FMM contributed to the Organization’s successful delivery of tangible results in countries and brought about other important benefits in terms of innovation, catalytic effects and stimulation of cross-sectoral work. The Report further highlights how FAO, through the FMM, has successfully leveraged its capabilities, both at a global and country level. The flexible funding mechanism of the FMM has proven to be a catalytic force in addressing critical funding gaps, forging new partnerships, testing and scaling up innovative areas of work and designing bigger and more impactful initiatives. The results presented here not only highlight the benefits of FAO’s global normative work and knowledge products, but also the relevance of the FMM to empowering a large number of smallholders, especially rural women and youth, enhancing resilience to climate shocks, generating farm and off-farm incomes and meeting livelihood needs. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
