No results found.The Third Regional Workshop on Caribbean Billfish Management and Conservation of the WECAFC/OSPESCA/CRFM/CFMC Working Group on Recreational Fisheries was held in Bridgetown, Barbados, from 4 to 6 April 2017. Thirty-five representatives from thirteen Caribbean countries and territories, along with various organizations and projects, attended the workshop. Information about the values represented by billfish stocks in the Caribbean was presented and discussed in pursuit of solutions to increase the value of these resources for the Caribbean states. Successful billfish capture and stock value conservation examples were presented and discussed, as were the policy, legislative and management contexts within which billfish fisheries currently takes place in the region. The latest stock assessment data were presented, which illustrated stock declines and the current level of fisheries pressure on the stocks. A third draft of the Caribbean Billfish Management and Conservation Plan was discussed, as was the draft Subregional FAD Management Plan. Business case opportunities sought through the Caribbean Billfish Project were also clarified. A draft WECAFC management recommendation was prepared by the Working Group, recognizing the concerns over billfish stock status, the current fisheries pressure on these stocks and proposing regional concerted action. Participants revised the Terms of Reference pertaining to the Working Group on Recreational Fisheries, updated the work plan and elected its convener. The workshop was carried out under the guidance and supervision of the FAO Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) with support of the Caribbean Billfish Project GCP/SLC/001/WBK.

Book (series)FlagshipL’État de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition dans le monde 2020
Transformer les systèmes alimentaires pour une alimentation saine et abordable
2020Les mises à jour effectuées pour de nombreux pays ont permis cette année d’estimer la faim dans le monde avec une plus grande précision. En particulier, les nouvelles données disponibles ont permis de revoir toutes les estimations de la sous-alimentation faites pour la Chine depuis 2000, ce qui a entraîné une importante révision à la baisse du nombre de personnes sous-alimentées dans le monde. Néanmoins, cette revision confirme la tendance signalée dans les éditions précédentes, à savoir que le nombre de personnes touchées par la faim dans le monde est en lente augmentation depuis 2014. Le rapport montre également que le fardeau de la malnutrition sous toutes ses formes reste un défi. Des progrès ont été réalisés en ce qui concerne le retard de croissance des enfants, l’insuffisance pondérale à la naissance et l’allaitement exclusive au sein, mais à un rythme encore trop lent. Le surpoids chez les enfants ne s’améliore pas et l’obésité chez les adultes est en hausse dans toutes les régions.Le rapport complète l’évaluation de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition par des projections de ce à quoi le monde pourrait ressembler en 2030 si les tendances constatées ces dix dernières années se maintiennent. Ces projections montrent que le monde n’est pas en voie d’atteindre l’objectif «Faim zéro» d’ici à 2030 et, malgré certains progrès, la plupart des indicateurs ne se rapprochent pas non plus des cibles mondiales fixées en matière de nutrition. La situation des groupes les plus vulnérables en matière de sécurité alimentaire et de nutrition risque de se détériorer davantage en raison des conséquences sanitaires et socioéconomiques de la pandémie de covid-19. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
