Policy briefPolicy briefThe Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
A brief
2024Also available in:
No results found.The Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem is a region shared by Indonesia (98 percent) and north coast of Timor-Leste (2 percent). Characterized by warm surface temperature and the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) that contributes to climate regulation, the region is a hub of mega biodiversity with unique habitats and ecosystems that offer high fisheries productivities and various other ecosystem goods and services. However, its valuable resources have for years been increasingly exploited by various resource users.Indonesia and Timor-Leste, with FAO support, formulated the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) in close collaboration with expert stakeholders. The TDA is an intensive, scientific document that leads to the identification of the five Primary Environmental Concerns (PECs), namely (i) declining productivity and sustainability of ISLME fishery and aquaculture, (ii) degradation and loss of marine habitats, (iii) marine and land-based pollution, (iv) decline of biodiversity and key species, (v) climate change impacts. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem: Strategic Action Programme 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Strategic Action Programme (SAP) highlights fisheries and marine regional and national action plans, developed by Indonesia and Timor-Leste fisheries authorities and national scientific advisory groups (NSAGs) in close consultation with wider technical stakeholders. The SAP details clear initiatives for a five-year implementation period to protect the rich biodiversity and unique habitats within the Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem (ISLME) region, shared by Indonesia (98 percent) and Timor-Leste (2 percent). Endorsed by both governments in January 2024, the SAP sets concrete timeframe, targets to achieve and the actors for each initiative; and with proposed risks and management strategies to guide efforts towards sustainability. Formulated based on the findings of the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA), a scientific document that identified the five primary environmental concerns (PECs) for ISLME sustainability, the SAP priority action plans are designed to address the PECs through namely: (i) maintaining sustainable fisheries, (ii) restoring marine habitat biodiversity, (iii) reducing marine pollution, (iv) conserving ETP and other key marine species; and (v) responding to impacts of climate change. It also highlights the vision, goals and objectives that leads to the action plans. -
ProjectNewsletterProject News: The Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem, March2020 - Issue #1 2020
Also available in:
No results found.This March 2020 edition of theISLME Newsletter tells about the issues and actions taken in order to manage marine and fisheries resources in Indonesia and Timor-Leste context. For example, the Government of Indonesia, with the support of FAO, held a stakeholders meeting to discuss the Harvest Strategy of economic species and to inaugurate the operation of Fisheries Management Area Management body. Until March 2020, the ISLME project team had facilitated the involvement of parties to take part in research and analyze the marine and fisheries issues in the ISLME region. Universities, ministries, provincial and district/city government working units participated in the series of activities mentioned in this newsletter. Findings and recommendations from the results of this research and capacity building programs are important for the Government to develop action plans for the management of fisheries resources related to ISLME. The Newsletter Vol. 1/March 2020 highlights main activities conducted during the implementation of ISLME Project, such as Fishery Survey in Timor-Leste, drafting Timor-Leste Aquaculture Decree-Law, and its direction. This edition also covers stories from the field such as the adoption of e-logbook for small scale fisheries in North Java, FAO collaboration with UNRAM to assess lobster fisheries status in FMA 573, and also, the result of ISLME Project Facilitation including EAFM training and workshops. Findings and recommendations are stated in this newsletter for follow up. In addition, the Governments of Indonesia and Timor-Leste have taken the initiative to fill the gaps in the ISLME area through a series of capacity building programs. Content and messages in this newsletter are expected to be known and heard by the partners, government, universities, NGOs, community groups, private sectors in Indonesia and Timor-Leste and the global community in general. These partners, institutions or communities are the targets of this March newsletter.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLooking at edible insects from a food safety perspective
Challenges and opportunities for the sector
2021Also available in:
No results found.While insect consumption by humans or entomophagy has been traditionally practiced in various countries over generations and represents a common dietary component of various animal species (birds, fish, mammals), farming of insects for human food and animal feed is relatively recent. Production of this ‘mini-livestock’ brings with it several potential benefits and challenges. The objective of this document is to provide the reader with an overview of the various food safety issues that could be associated with edible insects. The intended audiences of this publication are food safety professionals, policymakers, researchers, insect producers as well as consumers. The regulatory frameworks that govern production, trade and consumption of insects in various regions are discussed. The document ends with elucidating some other major challenges, such as consumer acceptance and scaling up production, that the edible insect industry would need to overcome to have a more global reach. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLivestock's long shadow
environmental issues and options
2006This report aims to assess the full impact of the livestock sector on environmental problems, along with potential technical and policy approaches to mitigation. The assessment is based on the most recent and complete data available, taking into account direct impacts, along with the impacts of feedcrop agriculture required for livestock production. The livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global. The findings of this report suggest that it should be a major policy focus when dealing with problems of land degradation, climate change and air poullution, water shortage and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity.
