    Progress Report 1996-98 of the European System of Cooperative Research Networks in Agriculture European System of Cooperative Research Networks in Agriculture (ESCORENA) 1999

    The Seventh and Eighth FAO Regional Conferences for Europe held in Budapest, Hungary, 1971 and in Munich, Germany, 1973, respectively, discussed the role of FAO in agricultural research in Europe and recommended the establishment of a system of voluntary research cooperation under the aegis of FAO. These recommendations were based on the principle that in a period of rapid technological and scientific development, it was difficult for any one institution or country to undertake all necessary sci entific research on any given subject matter. The Conferences recommended the basic purpose and main objectives of the system, namely to: promote voluntary exchange of information and experimental data on selected subject matters; support joint applied research on selected subject matters of common interest according to an accepted methodology, agreed division of tasks and timetable; facilitate voluntary exchange of persons, germplasm and technologies; establish close links between European researchers and institutions working on the same subject and to stimulate interaction; accelerate the transfer of European technology advances to, and cooperation with, developing countries. The present paper briefly reviews development of the system since its inception and activities of networks in the period 1996-98. It focuses on adjustments in programmatic orientation and changes in organizational structures that took place in the period under review.

    A Mechanism For The Exchange Of Official Information on Food Safety, Animal And Plant Health 2002
    Also available in:

    This paper describes an FAO initiative to provide a single mechanism - the Biosecurity Portal - for the exchange of official information on food safety, animal and plant health, as related to the FAO mandate. Information will be provided from national and international agencies maintaining 'ownership' of the information. FAO will provide the mechanism and technical support for the Portal so that official information can be made available and readily accessed in a coordinated way. Examples of the type of information that could be accessible via the Biosecurity Portal are given, as is the likely technical assistance that FAO could provide to facilitate this. Access to the Biosecurity Portal will be widely available and free, although certain areas may be developed with restricted access limited to Member countries. It is Internet based to ensure wide usage and cost effectiveness.

    2022年世界渔业和水产养殖状况
    努力实现蓝色转型
    2022
    2022年版《世界渔业和水产养殖状况》的发布适逢联合国实现全球目标行动十年、联合国海洋科学促进可持续发展十年和联合国生态系统恢复十年的启动。本报告介绍了如何通过蓝色转型整合和支持这些活动及其他具有同等重要性的联合国活动,如2022国际手工渔业和水产养殖年。蓝色转型是新版联合国粮农组织《2022–2031年战略框架》的一个重点领域,旨在加快实现《2030年可持续发展议程》在粮食和农业领域的目标。蓝色转型的概念产生于2021年2月召开的粮农组织渔业委员会(渔委)第三十四届会议,特别是经粮农组织所有成员商定和批准的《可持续渔业和水产养殖宣言》。该《宣言》呼吁支持“21世纪渔业和水产养殖不断变化的积极愿景,使该部门对消除贫困、饥饿和营养不良的贡献得到充分认可”。在此背景下,此版《世界渔业和水产养殖状况》的第1部分回顾了全世界渔业和水产养殖的状况,而第2部分和第3部分则专门讨论蓝色转型及其关于水产养殖的集约化和扩大、改进渔业管理、创新渔业和水产养殖价值链的支柱。蓝色转型强调需要在未来几年启动或加快前瞻性的果敢行动,以实现《宣言》的目标并支持《2030年可持续发展议程》。第4部分涉及当前影响较大的新问题(新冠疫情、气候变化和性别平等),这些问题要求充分考虑转型步骤和预备措施,以确保可持续、高效和公平的渔业和水产养殖。
