Book (series)The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024
Financing to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms
2024Six years from 2030, hunger and food insecurity trends are not yet moving in the right direction to end hunger and food insecurity (SDG Target 2.1) by 2030. The indicators of progress towards global nutrition targets similarly show that the world is not on track to eliminate all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2). Billions of people still lack access to nutritious, safe and sufficient food. Nevertheless, progress in many countries provides hope of the possibility of getting back on track towards hunger and malnutrition eradication. Implementing the policies, investments and legislation needed to revert the current trends of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition requires proper financing for food security and nutrition. Despite a broad agreement on the urgent need to increase financing for food security and nutrition, the same cannot be said for a common understanding regarding how this financing should be defined and tracked. The report provides a long-awaited definition of financing for food security and nutrition and guidance for its implementation. There are recommendations regarding the efficient use of innovative financing tools and reforms to the food security and nutrition financing architecture. Establishing a common definition of financing for food security and nutrition, and methods for its tracking, measurement and implementation, is an important first step towards sustainably increasing the financing flows needed to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, and to ensure access to healthy diets for all, today and tomorrow. -

Book (stand-alone)Kézikönyv a recirkulációs akvakultúráról
Bevezetés az új, környezetbarát, magas produktivitású zárt haltermelő rendszerekbe
2025A halkeltetőkből és szárazföldi akvakultúra-létesítményekből származó szennyezés minimalizálása érdekében az észak-európai országokban bevezetett szigorú környezetvédelmi korlátozások a világ számos részén eredményeztek gyors technológiai fejlődést, beruházásokat és innovációt a recirkulációs rendszerek fejlesztése terén. Az akvakultúra általában hat a környezetre, de a legkorszerűbb recirkulációs módszerek jelentősen csökkentik ezt a hatást a hagyományos haltenyésztési módokhoz képest. Ezáltal a recirkulációs rendszerek két közvetlen előnyt kínálnak: a nagyobb költséghatékonyságot és a kisebb környezetterhelést. Emellett a recirkuláció magasabb, stabilabb, kevesebb betegséggel járó akvakultúra-termelést is biztosít, valamint jobb módszereket a halnövekedést befolyásoló keltetői paraméterek szabályozására az akvakultúra-termelési rendszerekben. Ez a fejlődés üdvözlendő, és teljes mértékben összhangban van a FAO felelősségteljes halászatra vonatkozó magatartási kódexével. Ez a kézikönyv a hagyományos gazdálkodási módszerekről a recirkulációs akvakultúrára való áttérés technikáira összpontosít, és tanácsokat ad a gazdálkodóknak, hogy milyen buktatókat kell elkerülniük ennek során. Az útmutató főbb jellemzői a következők: segíti a gazdákat a recirkulációs akvakultúrára való áttérésben, bemutatja a technológiát és az irányítási módszereket, jó gyakorlatokat ajánl a recirkulációs akvakultúrára való áttérés során, részletes útmutatást ad a recirkulációs rendszer működtetéséről, a személyzet oktatásáról és képzéséről valamint esettanulmányokat mutat be különböző recirkulációs projektekről. -
Book (stand-alone)Przewodnik po akwakulturze w systemach recyrkulacyjnych
Wprowadzenie do nowej, przyjaznej środowisku hodowli ryb w systemach zamkniętego obiegu wody
2025Zaostrzanie restrykcji środowiskowych, mające na celu minimalizację obciążenia środowiska zanieczyszczeniami, pochodzącymi z wylęgarni i lądowych hodowli ryb w krajach północnej Europy, wymusiły szybki rozwój technologiczny, inwestycje i innowacje w dziedzinie systemów recyrkulacji wody w wielu miejscach na świecie. Produkcja akwakultury, jak każda inna, ma określony wpływ na środowisko, ale nowoczesne metody recyrkulacji znacznie ograniczają negatywny wpływ w porównaniu do tradycyjnych metod hodowli ryb, zwłaszcza w obiektach przepływowych. Systemy recyrkulacji oferują więc dwie natychmiastowe korzyści: opłacalność i zmniejszenie wpływu na środowisko. Hodowla ryb w systemach zamkniętych pozwala również na uzyskanie wyższej i bardziej stabilnej produkcji akwakultury z mniejszą liczbą chorób oraz lepszą kontrolą parametrów w wylęgarniach, co wpływa na rozwój produkcji ryb w takich systemach akwakultury. Ten rozwój jest mile widziany i w pełni zgodny z Kodeksem Odpowiedzialnego Rybołówstwa FAO. Niniejszy przewodnik skupia się na transformacji tradycyjnych hodowli na akwakulturę z recyrkulacją wody i doradza rybakom, na jakie pułapki należy uważać w trakcie tego procesu. Główne cechy przewodnika to: pomaga hodowcom w przejściu na akwakulturę w obiegu zamkniętym, wprowadza do tematyki technologii i metod zarządzania hodowlą, doradza w zakresie dobrych praktyk związanych z akwakulturą w obiegu zamkniętym, doradza w zakresie wprowadzania systemu w obiegu zamkniętym, edukacji i szkolenia personelu oraz przedstawia studia przypadków różnych projektów związanych z akwakulturą w obiegu zamkniętym. -

Yüksek verimliliğe sahip çevre dostu yeni kapalı balık çiftliği sistemlerine giriş
2025Kuzey Avrupa ülkelerinde kuluçkahanelerden ve karadaki su ürünleri yetiştiriciliği tesislerinden kaynaklanan kirliliği en aza indirmeye yönelik katı çevresel kısıtlamaların getirilmesi, dünyanın birçok yerinde devirdaim sistemleriyle ilgili hızlı teknolojik gelişmeleri, yatırımları ve inovasyonu tetiklemiştir. Su ürünleri yetiştiriciliği genel olarak çevreyi etkiler, ancak son teknoloji ürünü devirdaim yöntemleri, geleneksel balık yetiştiriciliği yöntemlerine kıyasla bu etkinin önemli ölçüde azaltılmasını sağlamıştır. Devirdaimli sistemler iki önemli avantaj sunmaktadır: maliyet-etkinlik ve çevresel etkinin azaltılması. Devirdaimli sistemler aynı zamanda hastalıkları azaltarak daha yüksek ve daha istikrarlı bir su ürünleri üretimi sağlamakta ve su ürünleri üretim sistemlerinde balıkların büyümesini etkileyen kuluçkahane parametrelerini kontrol etmek için daha iyi yollar sunmaktadır. FAO Sorumlu Balıkçılık Davranış Kuralları ile tamamen uyumlu olan bu gelişmeler memnuniyetle karşılanmaktadır. Bu rehber, geleneksel yetiştiricilik yöntemlerinden devirdaim akuakültürüne geçiş tekniklerine odaklanmakta ve yetiştiricilere bu süreçte kaçınılması gereken tehlikeler hakkında tavsiyeler sunmaktadır. Rehberin başlıca özellikleri şunlardır: Yetiştiricilerin devirdaimli akuakültüre geçişinde onlara yardımcı olur, kullanılan teknolojiyi ve yönetim yöntemlerini gösterir, devirdaimli akuakültüre geçişte yapılabilecek iyi uygulamalarla ilgili tavsiyeler içerir, devirdaimli sistemin işletimi ve personel eğitimi hakkında bilgi içerir ve muhtelif devirdaim projeleri ile ilgili örnek durumlar sunar. -

Book (series)Legal report on the ecosystem approach to fisheries in Equatorial Guinea
An analysis of the ecosystem approach to fisheries in selected national policy and legal instruments of Equatorial Guinea
2025Also available in:
No results found.Legislating for the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) is complex, due to the holistic nature of the EAF involving multiple factors that underpin the social, economic, environmental, and institutional aspects of fisheries sustainability. These factors include ecosystems integration, risks, intersectoral collaboration, research, participatory processes, monitoring, control, surveillance, and enforcement. To assess how the EAF is being implemented through national policy and legal frameworks, FAO developed A diagnostic tool for implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries through national policy and legal frameworks.The present legal report on the EAF used the diagnostic tool to assess the alignment of selected policy and legal instruments of Equatorial Guinea with the EAF. This assessment analysed the extent to which 82 EAF legal requirements, which are considered the minimum standards in legislating for the EAF, are reflected in Equatorial Guinea's policies and legislation relevant to the fisheries sector of the country and other relevant sectors (such as environment, wildlife, ecosystems, and maritime affairs). Based on this preliminary diagnosis, gaps were identified in the assessed instruments, and recommendations were made for improving the implementation of the EAFThis report was elaborated following a participatory approach with the involvement of the national competent authorities of Equatorial Guinea. Drafted in November 2021, the report was revised and resubmitted to the national authorities in August 2024. The report was endorsed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment in December 2024.
