No results found.A permanent FAO Working Group composed of scientists from the coastal States, and from countries or organizations that play an active role in Northwest African pelagic fisheries, was established in March 2001 The main objective of the Working Group is to improve the assessment of the small pelagic resources, as well as to give advice on options for management and exploitation of their fisheries and to ensure optimal sustainability of the resources for the economic benefit of Morocco, Mauritania, Gambia and Senegal. The meeting was held in Saly, Senegal, from 17 to 27 March 2004. A total of 15 scientists from seven countries and from FAO participated. The results of the assessments indicate that the sardine stock in Zone C is not fully exploited and the Working Group hence noted that current fishing effort may be temporarily increased, but should be adjusted to natural changes in the stock. As regards the central stock of sardine, it is recommended to not increase catches above the aver age level of the last five years as a precautionary measure. For sardinella, the Working Group recommended to reduce fishing effort by 20 percent, particularly in fleets targeting the round sardinella. The Working Group also recommended not to increase fishing effort above the average level for the last five years for the Cunene horse mackerel and Chub mackerel. -

No results found.The seventh meeting of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa was held in Agadir, Morocco, from 17 to 26 April 2007. The Group assessed the status of the small pelagic resources in Northwest Africa and made projections on the development of the status of the stocks and on future effort and catch levels. The advices for the stocks are given in relation to the agreed reference points F0.1, FMSY, B0.1 and BMSY and on the basis of the projections for the next five years. The results of the assessments indicate that the stock of round sardinella is overexploited and consequently a decrease in effort in the total sardinella fishery was recommended. The Atlantic horse mackerel was also found to be overexploited whereas the Cunene horse mackerel was found to be fully exploited. It was recommended that the effort in 2008 should decrease about 20 pour cent of the actual effort. The sardine stock in Zone A+B was found overexploited and the Working Group recommended to decrease the effort by 20 pour cent corresponding to a catch level of 350 000 tonnes in 2008. The stock of sardine in Zone C was found to be not fully exploited and it was noted that the total catch level may be temporarily increased, but should be adjusted to natural changes in the stock. The mackerel was found not to be fully exploited, the catches should not exceed in 2008 the current level of 200 000 tonnes. It was not possible to reach relia ble conclusions from the assessment models applied to bonga and anchovy but, in the case of anchovy, acoustic estimates show a decrease in biomass from 2005 to 2006. As a precautionary measure, the catch level for this species should not exceed the average over the last three years of 115 000 tonnes. For bonga, the recommendation from 2006 is maintained as no new information is available on this species, and the Working Group recommended that the catch level should not exceed 42 000 tonnes.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -

Part II explains step-by-step how to cook them, what to keep in mind and what condiments and instruments to use. Part III underscores the five messages that FAO conveys to the world about the impact pulses have on nutrition, health, climate change, biodiversity and food security. Part IV illustrates how pulses can be grown in a garden patch with easy gardening instructions and how they are grown in the world, highlighting major world producers , importers and exporters. Part V takes the reader on a journey around the world showing how pulses fit a region’s history and culture and visits 10 internationally acclaimed chefs as they go the market to buy pulses.

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.
