DocumentOther documentCatches, fishing efforts, catches for fishing effort, and fishing locations for the Gulf of Suez and Egyptian Red Sea coast trawl fishery during 1979 to 1982 1984
Also available in:
No results found.This report presents a collation of data describing the monthly catch weights by important species groups, the associated fishing efforts and catch weight per unit effort, and the fishing locations, for a period of 3 years from 1979 to 1982. Data collection involved catch enumeration at the landing sites by employees of the Department of Agriculture, and the interviewing of skippers for details of fishing efforts and fishing locations by project personnel and counterparts. The mean annual catch of 4973 tons from the Gulf of Suez is tentatively suggested as reflecting full exploitation. The potential annual catch estimated for the less exploited grounds adjacent to the Egyptian border with Sudan is 1111 tons; which is some 378 tons more than the 1982/1983 catch. -

DocumentOther documentPreliminary estimates of some stock assessment parameters for the mesopelagic species Benthosoma pterotum inhabiting the Western and Northern Arabian Sea 1982
Also available in:
No results found.This report provides preliminary estimates of the stock assessment parameters for Benthosoma pterotum from data collected onboard the acoustic survey vessel Dr. Nansen. The von Bertalanaffy growth estimates are K=2.0, L=5.2 cm (total length) and t =-0.09, the latter being related to assumed birthday dates of 30 April and 31 December. The constants in the power curve relationship (w = aLᵇ) of total weight (g) to total length (cm) are shown as a = 0.02, and b = 2.79. Four alternative estimates for the natural mortality coefficient M provide values of 3.6, 5, 4.8 and 4.3 for the 1975 and 1976 years. The mean numbers recruiting into the stock each half year is estimated to be 123x10¹². Recruitment is indicated as being confined to the summer to autumn and winter to spring periods, which suggests an explanation for the observed differences between biomass estimates from previous acoustic surveys; the stock numbers peak in spring and autumn from the effect of 'net' recruitment and decline to wards summer and winter from the effect of natural mortality. With the assistance of Yield per Recruit Tables, annual yields for a range of levels of exploitation and lengths at first capture are described. For example, using trawls providing a length at first capture of about 2 cm, the annual yield is maximized at about 17.5x10⁶ tones, at a fishing mortality F of almost double M. It is suggested that the most appropriate levels of future exploitation are likely to be considerably lower than in the example with the identification of the best levels requiring additional knowledge, such as concerning commercial operating costs, availability of markets etc.

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)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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
