Book (stand-alone)Step-wise guide for the implementation of international legal and policy instruments related to deep-sea fisheries and biodiversity conservation in the areas beyond national jurisdiction 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This step-wise guide aims to assist with the implementation of relevant international instruments pertaining to deep-sea fisheries and biodiversity conservation in areas beyond national jurisdiction, especially the high seas, into national policy and law. This guide focuses on the incorporation and transposition of international rules, standards, and recommended practices and procedures into national policy and law. It addresses the key measures for making international obligations effective at the national level and suggests possible options for integrating those measures into the national legal framework. Legislative examples are also provided to illustrate how certain provisions have been incorporated into primary or secondary legislation. The guide first addresses the establishment of a national policy, followed by a description and analysis of essential legislative provisions regarding deep-sea fisheries and the conservation of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction. This guide is thus relevant to policy-makers, parliamentary draftpersons, and parliamentarians. -

DocumentMaximising nutrition into the forestry sector : from theory to practice using a stepwise impact pathway approach
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Although forests, particularly wild foods, contribute to up to two thirds of forest dwellers’ and even the wider community’s food security and nutrition, few measures are in place that protect wild foods as a right. This burden is largely the result of gaps within the forestry sector. Formal food systems involving land ownership, rights and sustainable production do not exist for most wild foods, leading to the limited contribution of wild foods to food security, nutrition and livelihoods.
Protecting these communities and food systems by providing a food systems-based, nutrition sensitive and supportive policy and research environment will allow them to improve and sustainably manage their resources and maintain their cultural and traditional practices. This could lead to improved health and nutritional outcomes, especially among vulnerable groups such as women and children, and a greater resilience to threats such as climate change and zoonotic disease.
Integrating nutrition into forestry sector is critical to addressing the prevalence of malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. However, uncertainty over what practical approach to adopt remains a challenge for policymakers and practitioners at all levels, due to a lack of proven methodological tools. To help address this challenge, the FAO, World Vision and Action contre la Faim have developed an innovative stepwise approach that guides users on the use of food systems-based impact pathways for integrating nutrition into the forestry sector. This work was carried out as part of a consultative process involving technical experts and operational stakeholders from Uganda, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Chad. The results obtained demonstrate the utility of this methodological process in helping political decision-makers and field officers formulate and evaluate nutrition-sensitive policies, programmes and interventions.
