Also available in:
No results found.Follow-up assistance by a fishery biologist and a master fish farmer to the fish cage farming activity at the Kuala Besut Small-Scale Fisheries Pilot Project was undertaken. The problems encountered with the original cages set in the Kuala Setiu Lagoon were identified. New innovations with regards to the physical structure of the cages as well as with their management were initiated to try to solve some of the problems. Continued implementation of this activity was pursued by the master fish far mer within a three-month stay at the site. -

Book (series)Technical reportReport of the First Phase of the Aquaculture Demonstration for Small-Scale Fisheries Development Project in Phang Nga, Thailand, March 1979-September 1981 - BOBP/REP/14 1982
Also available in:
No results found.This document is the report of the implementation of the project “Aquaculture Demonstration for Small-Scale Fisheries Development, Phang Nga, Thailand” during its first phase, March 1979 to September 1981. A short account of the project’s background, objectives, modus operandi and pre-operational activities is followed by a description and assessment of each component of the project - aquaculture demonstration, community development and the women component. It shows that cockle culture is the most successful aquaculture activity, while the commercial feasibility of finfish cage culture and oyster culture and the technical feasibility of mussel culture are yet to be established. The achievements of the community development component and the extensive training activities under each project component are also highlighted in the report. The report is based on the work of Mr. Boon Boonruang, Senior Fishery Biologist (team leader of the project) under the supervision of Mr. Vanich Varik ul, Director of the Brackishwater Fisheries Division of the Department of Fisheries, Thailand (Project Director) and the South China Sea Fisheries Development and Coordinating Programme. On behalf of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP), technical support for the execution of the project was provided to the Department of Fisheries, Thailand by the South China Sea Fisheries Development and Coordinating Programme (SCSP). Consequent to a joint review of the project, carried out at the end of the first phase, in which representatives of the Thailand Department of Fisheries, BOBP and SCSP participated, agreement for the support of a second phase of the project was reached between the Department and BOBP.

PresentationPresentationThe state of the world's land and water resources for food and agriculture (SOLAW): Systems at breaking point 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Satisfying the changing food habits and increased demand for food intensifies pressure on the world’s water, land and soil resources. However, agriculture bears great promise to alleviate these pressures and provide multiple opportunities to contribute to global goals. Sustainable agricultural practices lead to water saving, soil conservation, sustainable land management, conservation of natural resources, ecosystem and climate change benefits. Accomplishing this requires accurate information and a major change in how we manage these resources. It also requires complementing efforts from outside the natural resources management domain to maximize synergies and manage trade-offs. The objective of SOLAW 2021 is to build awareness of the status of land and water resources, highlighting the risks, and informing on related opportunities and challenges, also underlining the essential contribution of appropriate policies, institutions and investments. Recent assessments, projections and scenarios from the international community show the continued and increasing depletion of land and water resources, loss of biodiversity, associated degradation and pollution, and scarcity in the primary natural resources. SOLAW 2021 highlights the major risks and trends related to land and water and presents means of resolving competition among users and generating multiple benefits for people and the environment. The DPSIR framework was followed in order to identify the Drivers, Pressures, Status, Impact and Responses. SOLAW 2021 provides an update of the knowledge base and presents a suite of responses and actions to inform decision-makers in the public, private, and civil sectors for a transformation from degradation and vulnerability toward sustainability and resilience. -
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. -
