No results found.The Second Session of the Joint EIFAC/ICES Working Group on Eel took place from 23 to 27 September 1996, in IJmuiden, the Netherlands. The Session was attended by 41 participants from 29 countries, including 23 European countries as well as Australia, Canada, China, New Zealand,Taiwan and USA. Altogether, 32 papers were presented and 7 posters exhibited. Presentations and discussions covered a wide range of research on the eel,with particular reference to recruitment, contamination, parasiti c infestation and fisheries and their effects on stock and yield. The downward trend in recruitment and yield in the whole distribution area of the species elicited a discussion on the need for supra-national management of the stock and the possible application of the precautionary principle. A discussion on oceanographical matters concluded that information on physical oceanography and on the ocean stages of the eel was insufficient to allow any conclusions to be drawn. Recommendations were made to restrict further expansion of fisheries and to maintain the supply of stocking material at its prevailing levels. In adddition, importation of exotic eels should be fully controlled to prevent the introduction of further parasites. Finally, it was recommended to maintain existing monitoring programmes and to supplement the anticipated Management Plan with a scheme for monitoring and research. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the eleventh session of the joint EIFAC/ICES Working Group on Eels, Silkeborg, Denmark, 20-24 September 1999. 2001

No results found.The Eleventh Session of the Joint Working Group on Eels took place from 20 to 24 September 1999, in Silkeborg, Denmark. Forty-one participants attended the Session from 27 countries, including 21 European countries and Canada, USA, Japan, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand. Altogether, 55 contributions were presented. The general picture throughout Europe is of declining yields in eel fisheries. Recruitment of glass eel from the ocean remains at very low levels. Development of escapem ent targets has been explored; several options are available, but shortage of data limits their application at the current time. The potential effects of re-stocking glass eel are discussed. Coordination of monitoring and research are badly needed. It is proposed to place coordination of research with an international research management body, in which key management levels and eel fishery and culture industries participate.

FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
2023Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This 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.
