No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)FlagshipReview of the state of world marine capture fisheries management: Indian Ocean. 2006During the first half of the 1990s, in response to the increasing concern about many of the world's fisheries and following the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), a number of international fisheries instruments provided an impetus for countries to strengthen their fisheries management. A key step in supporting such efforts is the development of more detailed, systematic and comparable information on fisheries environments and management trends. The State of World M arine Capture Fisheries Management Questionnaire was developed by FAO in 2004 in response to this need. The results have been grouped by region and reported in this publication. Today, we are able to look back to see how countries responded, to examine whether more fisheries are managed, and to determine whether the management tools and strategies employed have improved the overall situation in marine capture fisheries. Trends in legal and administrative frameworks, management regimes and stat us of marine capture fisheries are analyzed for thirty-two countries in the Indian Ocean and presented as an easy-to-read and informative reference for policy decision-makers, fishery managers and stakeholders.

No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)FlagshipReview of the state of world fishery resources: Marine fisheries 1997
Also available in:
This paper updates the regular reviews of the state of the world's marine fish stocks, based mainly on statistics through 1994. The introduction refers to the limits of world fish production and to major trends in world fisheries since 1950. Attention is drawn to the generalized high level of exploitation of the more valuable marine resources. More detailed remarks are provided for each FAO statistical area, together with a discussion of the major changes and trends that have occurred in specifi c resources and the fishery assessment strategies in current use in support of fisheries management in each region. Special sections address the global issue of tunas and tuna-like species and other special topics dealing with lanternfishes as a potential resource, and global synchrony in fish populations. Summary tables are provided for each statistical area showing historical and recent landings for the major marine resources and judgements on their current state of exploitation. -
Book (series)Technical studyTrends in oceanic captures and clustering of large marine ecosystems
Two studies based on the FAO capture database
2003Also available in:
No results found.Species items reported in the FAO capture fisheries production database have been classified as oceanic or living on the continental shelf. Catch trends of oceanic species, further subdivided into epipelagic and deep-water species, have been analysed over a 50-year period (1950-99) while statistics for shelf species have been re-assigned to large marine ecosystems (LMEs) for a shorter period (1990-99) and used to investigate catch patterns among the various LMEs. Oceanic fisheries constitut e, both in terms of number of species items and in quantities of recent catches, about 10% of global marine catches. Catches of epipelagic species (mostly tunas) and of deep-water species (mostly Gadiformes) have been continuously increasing and reached 8.6 million tons in 1999. Oceanic catches by distant water fleets (DWFs), mostly targeting tunas, have been decreasing in recent years although their share of total DWF catches has increased due to the concurrent drop of non-oceanic DWF catches. Trends of oceanic catches and the contribution of DWFs are examined for all FAO marine fishing areas which show different patterns, mainly depending upon whether they are temperate or tropical areas. Eleven clusters of LMEs have been identified on the basis of similarities in their catch composition classified into eleven species groupings. For each cluster, the distinguishing catch pattern and recent trends by species groupings in each LME are discussed, and considered in relation to infor mation on primary productivity and the abiotic characteristics of the LME.

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookВопросы лесного хозяйства и агролесоводства в национальных планах адаптации
Вспомогательные руководящие принципы
2023Данная публикация «Вопросы лесного хозяйства и агролесоводства в национальных планах адаптации: вспомогательные руководящие принципы» представляет собой техническое руководство по интеграции лесов, агролесоводства и деревьев в процесс разработки и реализации НПА. Его цель – информировать разработчиков политики и государственных служащих, ответственных за планирование и процессы в рамках НПА, а также субъектов деятельности в области лесного хозяйства и других заинтересованных сторон о потребностях лесного хозяйства и агролесоводства для адаптации и их потенциале для поддержки адаптации других отраслей, подотраслей и видов деятельности. -
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 (series)High-profilePerspectives agricoles del’OCDE et de la FAO 2023-2032 2023Les Perspectives agricoles 2023-2032 sont le fruit de la collaboration entre l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE) et l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO). Les deux organisations mettent en commun leurs connaissances spécialisées sur les produits, les politiques et les pays, ainsi que les informations fournies par leurs pays membres, afin de produire chaque année une analyse des perspectives des marchés nationaux, régionaux et mondiaux des produits agricoles de base pour la décennie à venir.La présente édition des Perspectives agricoles a été préparée conjointement par les Secrétariats de l’OCDE et de la FAO.
