    This course is the third of a series that aims to provide guidance on the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF), which has been adopted by the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) as the most appropriate and practical way to fully implement the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. This course focuses on how to implement a fishery management plan.

    Ecosystem approach to fisheries implementation monitoring tool
    A tool to monitor implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) management - User manual
    2021
    The implementation of an ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) contributes to sustainable fisheries in various ways. The EAF-Nansen Programme has assisted several countries to understand, adopt and use an ecosystem approach in the management of their marine and coastal fisheries. The ecosystem approach to fisheries implementation monitoring tool (EAF IMT) is a tool for decision support and planning in the fisheries management process. It can be used by countries in strategic and operational planning processes for their fisheries, assisting them to determine where they are making acceptable progress and where there continue to be gaps and difficulties to address.

    Ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) Implementation Monitoring Tool. Assessment Report on progress made on fisheries management between January 2020 and December 2021
    Small and medium pelagic fishery in the United Republic of Tanzania. EAF-Nansen programme.

    The second evaluation of the small and medium pelagic fishery in the United Republic of Tanzania was carried out in November 2021, by a group of multidisciplinary experts, including fisheries managers, scientists and fishers. The first evaluation was carried out almost two years after the first benchmark scoring of the fishery, conducted in January 2020, shortly after the start of the project to support the implementation of the small and medium pelagic management plan in the country. The aim was to assess the progress made since the last scoring. The ecosystem approach to fisheries implementation monitoring tool (EAF IMT) was developed to allow the monitoring of the progress of the EAF implementation and sustainable fisheries management. It allows the implementation of the EAF to be evaluated at different levels: at the level of a particular issue, to the level of EAF component, up to the entire fishery level.

    No results found.

    Report of second joint tuna RFMO EAFM workshop organized in September 2019 under the ABNJ (Common Oceans) Tuna project. It focused on how best to apply the growing level of scientific understanding of marine ecosystems to a fisheries context and integrate that understanding into operational measures at the RFMO level to improve fisheries management outcomes.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
