Also available in:
No results found.During the year of the author's assignment at the Bhairawa Fishery Development Centre about 1 117 000 fingerlings were produced; this is the highest figure obtained. Unfortunately, the water supply was insufficient; otherwise the production of fish fingerlings would have been higher. With regard to integrated fish culture farming, demonstrations of fish-cum-pig and fish-cum-duck culture were set up at the Government fish farm. The results were good, the fish production ranging from 1 845.56 to 2 443.34 kg/ha/yr. At present farmers show great interest in these activities. Previously, integrated fish farming was not accepted by them due to high capital investment and lack of experience. However, guidance in this respect was given to the farmers during in-service training conducted by the project. After participating in the training courses many have started farming fish integrated with livestock. In Pokhara, the work mainly involved cage fish culture; the number of cage owners increase d from 13 in 1978 to 63 in 1979. The boatbuilding activities have also progressed well. The number of boats built increased from 51 in 1978 to 63 in 1979. Through in-service training, cage owners from various lakes were instructed in cage fish culture, and 16 US volunteers and 61 farmers from the villages around Bhairawa were trained in various aspects of fish culture. -

Also available in:
No results found.Work carried out on the culture of fish in cages in Nepal, the introduction of the practice to private fishermen by the project and its technical and economic aspects are described in this report. A variety of cages were tried, their relative advantages and disadvantages and costs are provided. The species tried were mainly silver carp and grass carp and they have proved to be economical because of the relatively low or negligible feed costs involved. Rohu and common carp yield additional inci dental production when stocked in small numbers with the above species. Preliminary experiments on the culture of bighead carp in cages have also been very encouraging. An explanation for different growth rates observed of planktivorous species in the three lakes of the Pokhara Valley is provided on the basis of limnological data and qualitative and quantitative studies of plankton, as well as stomach content studies. The economics of cage culture with these species is discussed. The results are compared with those obtained with other species in other countries. Suggestions are provided for future work, including variations of stocking densities. The possible initial increase in fish production in the Pokhara Valley through cagefish culture is indicated. Recommendations for the future are also provided. -

Also available in:
No results found.FAO assigned a master boatbuilder to a project in Nepal for one year from November 1976 to October 1977 in order to set up and operate a boatbuilding training programme for the three lakes in the Pokhara region with the facilities on Lake Phewa. The purpose was to replace the existing dugout canoes with boats more suitable for fishing. The expert designed and constructed four different types of subsistence boats. A total of 21 boats was build during the expert's stay. Practical training was c arried on from the beginning relying upon people from near the lakes for trainees. Of the boats built by the project six were kept for the Fisheries Project and one was allocated to the Department of Tourism. The remaining boats were sold to the local people. The chief recommendation is that training should continue for people from around the lakes and possibly future recruitment can include trainees from other areas of Nepal. Arrangements should also be made for local people to get low co st loans to finance the purchase of these boats.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In 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. -

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia.
