Book (series)Technical bookIndicators for the Sustainable Development of Finfish Mediterranean Aquaculture: Highlights from the InDAM Project 2013
Also available in:
No results found.The document reports the activities carried out during the first year of the InDAM Project “Indicators for Sustainable Development of Aquaculture and Guidelines for their use in the Mediterranean” in support to the GFCM CAQ Working Group on Sustainability in Aquaculture (WGSA) and funded by the EU DG Mare. The project focuses on the practical use of the indicators for sustainable aquaculture and their adaptation to the Mediterranean Sea. The methodology applied for the identification of the prel iminary list of indicators was based on the PCI (Principles, Criteria and Indicators) approach and took into consideration the main outcomes and achievements of the recent projects carried out in the Mediterranean on the identification of indicators for sustainable aquaculture. The principles of sustainability and standards, in their four dimensions: governance, economic, social and environmental, and their relationship with aquaculture and its sustainable development in the coastal areas, are h ighlighted. The document also reports the results of the workshop on the Selection of indicators for the sustainable development of aquaculture in the Mediterranean Sea (27th-28th November 2008, Montpellier, France), the expert meeting on Indicators for the sustainable development of aquaculture in the Mediterranean Sea (24-26 February 2009, Montpellier, France) and the workshop on Guidelines and application of indicators for sustainable development of aquaculture (19-20 November 2009, Salammbô, Tunisia). The recommendations given by the WGSA are also included. The two pilot studies on the selection and evaluation of the indicators for aquaculture sustainable development carried out in Mugla, Turkey, and Monastir, Tunisia, are described. The data base on relevant indicators for sustainable aquaculture and the web portal on the InDAM Project activities hosted on the SIPAM website are presented. -
DocumentOther documentPlanning hydrological restoration of peatlands in Indonesia to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions 2015
Also available in:
No results found.This case study describes a strategy for improved planning of rewetting measures by dam constructions. The study area is a vast peatland with limited accessibility, in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Field inventory and remote sensing data are used to generate a detailed 3D model of the peat dome and a hydrological model predicts the rise in groundwater levels once dams have been constructed. Successful rewetting of a 590 km² area of drained peat swamp forest could result in the mitigation of 1.4 –1.6 Mt CO2 emissions yearly. -

Country Report
2013Also available in:
No results found.In the framework of global, regional and country-level studies conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (UN/FAO) in 2010-2014, this study, conducted in summer 2013, assesses of food losses and waste in priority agri-food chains in Ukraine. The objective of the study is to identify critical points and patterns of food losses and waste along selected food supply chains in Ukraine, which have the largest impact on food security and food supply in the country. For tha t purpose the country study aims to provide an overall assessment of food losses and waste and its impact on food security and food supply, as well as identifying and analysing critical points for food losses and waste along selected agri-food chains.
