Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureLessons from two decades of tilapia genetic improvement in Africa 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This summary briefly describes the main steps for establishing a tilapia breeding programme, together with the specific lessons learnt in Egypt. African aquaculture has increased in importance since 2000 due primarily to dwindling capture fisheries and its demonstrable success in Egypt, which is the only African country among the world’s top ten producers of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The success of tilapia aquaculture in Asia can in part be attributed to the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) project - a breeding programme carried out by WorldFish. -

Genetics in aquaculture: A case study
2023Also available in:
No results found.African aquaculture has increased in importance since 2000 due primarily to dwindling capture fisheries and its demonstrable success in Egypt, which is the only African country among the world’s top ten producers of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). This case study provides an overview of tilapia breeding programmes in Africa with a main focus on the Genetically Improved Abbassa Nile Tilapia (GIANT) breeding programme in Egypt. The main steps for establishing a tilapia breeding programme are described, together with the specific lessons learnt in Egypt. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyThe potential of farming tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) in Vanuatu 2004
Also available in:
No results found.Under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Sub-Regional Office for the Pacific Islands (SAPA) in Samoa, a feasibility study on farming tilapia and prawns was undertaken by SPC Aquaculture Office in November 2003. The objectives were to survey the potential to develop Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) farming in Vanuatu (further details are given in the Terms of References in Appendix 2).

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
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.
