No results found.This document presents the continuation of the work done in two previous workshops funded by DANIDA as reported in FAO Fisheries Report No. 619. While the first two workshops had concentrated on biological and bio-economic assessments, this Workshop, arranged by the FISHCODE project, funded by Norway, was dedicated to the creation of regional cooperation on research and management of the Caribbean spiny lobster. The Preparatory Phase of the Workshop produced four regional reports on th e status of the stocks, research and management, to serve as a basis for discussion during the meeting between scientists and decision makers, responsible for fisheries management. The first part of the report contains an up-to-date summary of information on the resources of the Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus), their fisheries and their management. The Management Workshop, after a discussion of the biology, the fisheries situation, management aspects and the benefits of reg ional cooperation, led to a number of important recommendations and proposed actions, including the intention of signing in the future an Inter- Institutional Agreement that would have the following objectives: 1) Development of research programmes in fisheries and aquaculture; 2) Capacity building through training and exchange of experts; 3) Technology transfer in fisheries and aquaculture. In addition the Management Workshop made recommendations regarding the functioning of the WEC AFC Ad Hoc Working Group on Spiny Lobster and the formulation of a Regional Strategy for research and management. It also recommended that FAO open a site on the Internet to facilitate communication and exchange of data. -

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideProcessing of fresh-cut tropical fruits and vegetables: A technical guide 2010
Also available in:
No results found.There has been a marked upward trend in production and consumption of fruits and vegetables in Asia and the Pacific in recent years. Along with rising consumer demand has come greater awareness of food safety issues and increased need for convenience and quality. Selection of high quality horticultural produce for processing and implementation of good practices during processing operations are required to assure both the quality of the produce and the safety of the final product. This technical guide reviews, from a theoretical and practical perspective, the critical issues that must be addressed for fresh-cut produce to meet consumer demand for convenience, quality and safety. A case study on fresh-cut processing in Thailand is included. The guide should be of practical value to small processors, trainers and extension workers who provide support to individuals engaged in production of fresh-cut tropical produce for sale. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -

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.
