No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Technical reportInforme de la reunión del Grupo Técnico de Trabajo de la FAO sobre la Reducción de las Capturas Incidentales de Aves Marinas en la Pesca con Palangre. Tokio, Japón, 25-27 de marzo de 1998. 1999El Grupo Técnico de Trabajo (GTT) de la FAO sobre la Reducción de las Capturas Incidentales de Aves Marinas en la Pesca con Palangre revisó tres documentos de antecedentes elaborados para la reunión en los que se describe el esfuerzo y la tecnología de pesca con palangre, la interacción de las aves marinas durante la operación de pesca y cómo la captura incidental de aves marinas puede ser reducida aplicando varias medidas de mitigación. Fue acordado que el contenido de estos documentos debería ser compilado en una publicación que será utilizada como material de referencia para elaborar Directrices Técnicas y un Plan de Acción Internacional. El GTT también elaboró un borrador de Directrices y un Plan de Acción. Las Directrices son propuestas para que contengan una lista de medidas de mitigación, las cuales están actualmente en uso o bajo ampliación, así como también la descripción de cómo la información acerca de las medidas de mitigación podría ser mejor diseminada en la pesca, la i ndustria y otras partes involucradas. En cuanto al Plan de Acción, el borrador preparado por el GTT debería ser visto como un primer borrador para ser ampliado en un proceso directivo para la Consulta de la FAO que se celebraría en octubre de 1998.

At the end of its meeting it adopted this report. The meeting discussed draft plans of action for the conservation and management of sharks and for the reduction of the incidental catch of seabirds in longline fisheries, as well as elements for a draft plan of action for the management of fishing capacity. This report summarizes the debates that took place. It also contains the guidance provided by the meeting to the FAO Secretariat about how best to proceed with the development of the documents that will be presented to the Consultation proper (26–30 October 1998). This guidance includes inter alia recommendations to the effect that the plans of action must assign the r esponsibility for actions amongst States (including other fishing entities), regional fishery bodies and international organizations. The plans should include provision for implementation and monitoring, including the issue of how to promote compliance by non-members of regional fishery organizations as well as by flag-of-convenience vessels. It was requested that technical assistance needs of developing countries be specified. It was suggested that the cost for any activities to be carried out by FAO, as part of the implementation of any international plan of action, should not be covered by extra-budgetary sources alone. -

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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
