No results found.At its Sixteenth Session, the Committee for Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture of Africa (CIFAA) suggested that its role and performance as a Regional Fishery Body (RFB) be re-examined. This request stemmed from the increasingly poor attendance at CIFAA meetings to such a point that quorum is sometimes not reached and the performance of the Committee is adversely affected. Accordingly, the Committee created an ad hoc Working Group to make recommendations on the future role of CIFAA and a meeting w as organised on 26-27 March 2012 in Cape Town, South Africa, to discuss its proposals. This meeting concluded that the CIFAA is important to the development of aquaculture and inland fisheries in Member States but that the body needs to be reformed and its institutional set-up and procedures strengthened. The importance of political commitment from Member Governments was stressed. It was requested that the current efforts with regard to the CIFAA reform be raised at forthcoming relevant meetings and that further guidance from the Ministers in charge of fisheries and aquaculture be provided. The meeting was organized and supported financially by the NEPAD-FAO Fish Programme (NFFP). -

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)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
