Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuide pratique de la pisciculture et de la rizipisciculture - Madagascar 2022
Also available in:
No results found.À Madagascar, le Programme de Gestion durable de la faune sauvage (ou Sustainable Wildlife Management «SWM» Programme) est mis en œuvre autour du Parc Naturel Makira pour promouvoir la conservation de la biodiversité et améliorer les conditions de vie des populations. En particulier, le projet soutient le développement du petit élevage piscicole, afin de réduire la dépendance vis-à-vis des espèces sauvages menacées en offrant d’autres sources de protéines et d’augmenter les revenus des ménages, facilitant ainsi l’accès à la viande domestique. Si vous aussi vous avez choisi de développer votre activité de rizipisciculture ou de pisciculture en étang, ce manuel est là pour vous guider. Du choix du site à la récolte, en passant par l’introduction des alevins et l’alimentation des poissons, ce manuel présente les bonnes pratiques pour un élevage de poissons sain et productif. Le SWM Programme est une initiative de l’Organisation des États d’Afrique, des Caraïbes et du Pacifique (OEACP) financée par l’Union européenne (UE) et cofinancée par le Fonds français pour l’environnement mondial (FFEM) et l’Agence française de développement (AFD). Ce programme est mis en œuvre dans 15 pays membres de l’OEACP par un consortium de partenaires incluant l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO), le Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développement (Cirad), le Centre de recherche forestière internationale (CIFOR) et la Société pour la Conservation de la Vie sauvage (WCS). -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
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.
