    NPOA - New Zealand - National Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks 2013 2013
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    New Zealand fisheries waters are home to at least 1131 species of shark, of which more than 70 have been recorded in fisheries. The term “shark”, as used generally in this document, refers to all sharks, rays, skates, chimaeras and other members of the Class Chondrichthyes. Some of these species support significant commercial fisheries, are prized as recreational game fishing species, and/or are of special significance to Maori. Some are also recognised as regionally or globally threatened or en dangered. Some shark species reside exclusively in our waters, while others also occur on the high seas and in other fisheries jurisdictions.

    Sharks have been unfairly characterised as callous hunters. In reality it is the sharks that are hunted, both commercially and recreationally, and many of the world’s shark stocks are at risk from over-fishing. We now know that sharks play an important role in maintaining a healthy ocean ecosystem. The New Zealand EEZ is home to over 100 species of shark. New Zealand has a global responsibility to manage and conserve our shark species. The Ministry of Fisheries has produced this National Plan of Action for Sharks to address this responsibility consistent with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisations International Plan of Action for Sharks (IPOA – Sharks).

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
    Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
    2023
    This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.

    Food loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste.
