Book (series)YearbookFishery and Aquaculture Statistics – Yearbook 2021 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Yearbook of Fishery and Aquaculture Statistics, prepared by the Statistics Team of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Division, offers a synthesis of the major trends in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. Statistics are presented in eight main thematic chapters, covering statistics of production (total, aquaculture, capture fisheries), employment, fleet, consumption and trade, together with a section with selected tables and an Annex including notes, concepts, classifications and a map of FAO major fishing areas. The Yearbook is meant to constitute a primary tool for policymakers, researchers and analysts, as well as for the general public interested in the past and current paths of the sector. -

Book (series)Technical reportA snapshot of fisheries and aquaculture in Small Island Developing States 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The United Nations Food Systems Summit championed the call to transform our global food systems. Small Island Developing States (SIDS) can heed the call and consider transforming their aquatic food production. Coastal and riparian communities have, through the centuries, made use of what their oceans, rivers and lakes provided for them. On small islands, aquatic food is particularly important for food security, nutrition and livelihoods. This study provides a snapshot of fisheries and aquaculture in SIDS to better understand their position and their potential in relation to aquatic food production, consumption, and local, regional and global trade. Many SIDS have limited capacity to implement effective, long-term fisheries management. Yet strong community linkages and a rich history of marine resource use and management mean SIDS have valuable traditional knowledge to help guide data collection, develop co-management arrangements, and monitor management effectiveness. The importance of fisheries and aquaculture in SIDS varies between and across regions. Data quality remains a challenge for SIDS highlighting the need for better species identification and more accurate reporting. Additionally, SIDS have lagged behind in the global expansion of global aquaculture.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2020
Overcoming water challenges in agriculture
2020Intensifying water constraints threaten food security and nutrition. Thus, urgent action is needed to make water use in agriculture more sustainable and equitable. Irrigated agriculture remains by far the largest user of freshwater, but scarcity of freshwater is a growing problem owing to increasing demand and competition for freshwater resources. At the same time, rainfed agriculture is facing increasing precipitation variability driven by climate change. These trends will exacerbate disputes among water users and inequality in access to water, especially for small-scale farmers, the rural poor and other vulnerable populations. The State of Food and Agriculture 2020 presents new estimates on the pervasiveness of water scarcity in irrigated agriculture and of water shortages in rainfed agriculture, as well as on the number of people affected. It finds major differences across countries, and also substantial spatial variation within countries. This evidence informs a discussion of how countries may determine appropriate policies and interventions, depending on the nature and magnitude of the problem, but also on other factors such as the type of agricultural production system and countries’ level of development and their political structures. Based on this, the publication provides guidance on how countries can prioritize policies and interventions to overcome water constraints in agriculture, while ensuring efficient, sustainable and equitable access to water.
