Book (series)Understanding and applying risk analysis in aquaculture. 2008
Also available in:
No results found.Risk analysis is an objective, systematic, standardized and defensible method of assessing the likelihood of negative consequences occurring due to a proposed action or activity and the likely magnitude of those consequences, or, simply put, it is science-based decision-making. Risk analysis has mainly been applied in assessing risks to society and the environment posed by hazards created by or associated with aquaculture development, e.g. risks of environmental degradation; introducti on and spread of pathogens, pests and invasive species; genetic impacts; unsafe foods; and negative social and economic impacts. Risk analysis provides insights and assists in making decisions that will help avoid such negative impacts and allows aquaculture development to proceed in a more socially and environmentally responsible manner. An integrated approach to risk analysis will assist the aquaculture sector in reducing risks to successful operations from both internal and external hazards and can similarly contribute to protect the environment, society and other resource users from adverse and often unpredicted impacts. This could lead to improved profitability and sustainability of the sector, while at the same time improving the publics perception of aquaculture as a responsible, sustainable and environmentally-friendly activity. -

ProjectIntegrated Food and Nutrition Security Phase Classification (IPC): Provision of Reliable IPC Analysis for Evidence-Based Information for Decision-Makers to Better Respond to Food Crises and Acute Malnutrition - TCP/YEM/3703 2022

No results found.Since 2011 the IPC has been used to inform evidence based decision making in Yemen and to provide standards to inform emergency programming, as well as being the primary source for food nutrition security resource mobilization The most recent IPC indicated that alarming levels of food insecurity and acute malnutrition have returned to Yemen and that the risk of famine is looming with unprecedentedly high malnutrition rates According to the latest analysis, persistently high levels of food insecurity with increasing food consumption gaps are evident in most governorates, despite the current levels of humanitarian assistance The principal driver of the food crisis remains the ongoing conflict, which has caused widespread infrastructural damage, population displacement, deteriorating macroeconomic conditions with accelerated inflation, disrupted livelihoods, and falling household incomes, humanitarian access constraints, disruption of public services and fuel crises.
