Book (stand-alone)Technical bookDairy developments' impact on poverty reduction 2018
Also available in:
No results found.In 2015 the 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim to end poverty (SDG1) and hunger (SDG2) while restoring and sustainably managing natural resources. Given the importance of livestock in poor people’s livelihoods, livestock sector development, and particularly the development of the dairy sector, is regarded as a promising avenue for supporting the achievement of SDG1. To underpin the case for dairy development as an avenue for poverty reduction, this study assessed the evidence for a causal relationship between dairy development and poverty reduction / improved household welfare. This study found that dairy cow ownership and/or improvement of dairy cow production consistently had a substantial positive and nearly always statistically significant impact on a wide range of indicators. The research sampled in this study was consistent in it’s agreement that engagement in dairying was the cause rather than the result of higher household welfare. -

No results found.This impact evaluation adopts a mixed-method approach combining quantitative and qualitative methods to the analysis of the impact of CGP and SPRINGS. Qualitative and quantitative methods have complementary roles. The quantitative method allows to quantify the size of the impacts on a large set of outcomes. The qualitative method allows to capture contextual and subjective meanings of social and economic phenomena. It complements quantitative research by broadening the understanding of impacts on different actors and capturing the types and complexity of processes leading to decisions and impacts. We investigated the impact of the programmes on three key areas of inquiry, following the main goals of the programmes, namely increase in income and economic security through productive activities and market engagement; financial inclusion and greater willingness to take risk; improvement of dietary practices and nutrition for adults and children. -
ProjectFactsheetSupport to Income Creation in Mongolia (Secim): Improving Local Dairy Processing Through Promoting Women - TCP/MON/3606 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Approximately 160 000 herder households in Mongoliaprocess milk from horse, cow, yak, camel and goats inisolated homesteads when nomadic camps are set up.These milk products are largely used at the household andlocal level. However, improving the quality and safety ofdairy products, as well as increasing their production,offers economic opportunities, particularly for womenfrom these rural communities. Notably, in many soums(districts), unemployment is high for women whoaccompany their children to school/education centres.Women are typically responsible for the preservation ofdairy products – they prepare a range of traditionalproducts, including yogurt, dried curds, fresh cheese andwhey, sour cream, cream, butter and fermented milk. Thelimited training available to these women and the generallack of innovation in dairy processing, however, meansthat these products are not up to date in terms of meetingfood standards, packaging and marketability. Additionally,the equipment, work space and storage methods used fordairy processing are suitable only for domesticconsumption. Hence, there is a requirement for improvingthe production and marketability of traditional dairyproducts. This can be achieved through the use of betterpractices in milk processing, dairy production andmarketing, as well as the introduction of higher qualityequipment and tools.

Meeting the sustainable development goals
2018The 2018 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture emphasizes the sector’s role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and measurement of progress towards these goals. It notes the particular contributions of inland and small-scale fisheries, and highlights the importance of rights-based governance for equitable and inclusive development. As in past editions, the publication begins with a global analysis of trends in fisheries and aquaculture production, stocks, processing and use, trade and consumption, based on the latest official statistics, along with a review of the status of the world’s fishing fleets and human engagement and governance in the sector. Topics explored in Parts 2 to 4 include aquatic biodiversity; the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture; climate change impacts and responses; the sector’s contribution to food security and human nutrition; and issues related to international trade, consumer protection and sustainable value chains. Global developments in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, selected ocean pollution concerns and FAO’s efforts to improve capture fishery data are also discussed. The issue concludes with the outlook for the sector, including projections to 2030. As always, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience, including policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2014 (SOFIA)
Opportunities and challenges
2014In a world where more than 800 million continue to suffer from chronic malnourishment and where the global population is expected to grow by another 2 billion to reach 9.6 billion people by 2050 – with a concentration in coastal urban areas – we must meet the huge challenge of feeding our planet while safeguarding its natural resources for future generations. This new edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA) highlights the significant role that fisheries and aquaculture plays in eliminating hunger, promoting health and reducing poverty. Never before have people consumed so much fish or depended so greatly on the sector for their well-being. Fish is extremely nutritious – a vital source of protein and essential nutrients, especially for many poorer members of our global community. Fisheries and aquaculture is a source not just of health but also of wealth. Employment in the sector has grown faster than the world’s population. The sector provi des jobs to tens of millions and supports the livelihoods of hundreds of millions. Fish continues to be one of the most-traded food commodities worldwide. It is especially important for developing countries, sometimes worth half the total value of their traded commodities.
