Also available in:
No results found.FAN 35, a special issue, is dedicated to the Third Session of the Sub-Committee on Aquaculture (SCA, September 2006, India). The editorial talks about aquaculture and Africa's development. Eight articles are presented on SCA's role in aquaculture development, aquaculture at its turning point, aquaculture insurance, GIS, risk analysis, aquaculture glossary, aquaculture statistics, and FAO's fisheries library and aquaculture gateway page. News about FAO workshops (aquatic genetic resources, compar ative environmental costs of aquaculture and other food production systems, microfinance, feed and fertilizers), projects (giant clam broodstock in Samoa, TCP/RAS/3101, TCP/RLA/3003, TCP/BRA/3001, TCP/CHI/3002) and the 5th GFCM meeting are also presented. -

No results found.FAN 37 editorial talks about Information: a must for responsible aquaculture. Four articles highlighted the different aspects of information (information sharing via aquatic commons, improving information on inland fisheries, global gateway to GIS/remote sensing/mapping and aquatic animal biosecurity information). FAN 37 also brings TCP news/updates (TCP/ HAI/2903, TCP/BiH/3101, TCP/URU/3101), FAO workshops and FAO supported meetings on sea cucumber conservation and management, ecosystem approac h to aquaculture, aquaculture certification, use of wild fish as feed, use of wild fish for aquaculture, bivalve aquaculture, aquaculture insurance, EIFAC symposium on social, ecological and economic interactions in inland fisheries and aquaculture and RECOFI Working Group on Aquaculture. -
DocumentTechnical studySimple Methods for Aquaculture Trainig Course / Méthodes simples d'aquaculture - Formation / Métodos sencillos para la acuicultura - Curso de entrenamiento 2006
Also available in:
No results found.The five training manuals on Simple methods for aquaculture and the Handbook on small-scale freshwater fish farming presented in this CD-ROM have been produced by the Inland Water Resources and Aquaculture Service of the Fishery Resources Division, FAO Fisheries Department. These manuals are written in simple language and f ocus on the practical aspects of semi-intensive fish culture in fresh waters, from site selection and fish farm construction to the raising, final harvesting and marketi ng of the fish. They are primarily intended for extension workers, technicians and teachers, to help them present the practical aspects of freshwater fish farming to small-scale farmers in developing countries.

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. -
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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
