No results found.The FAO Yearbook of Fishery Statistics - Capture production is a compilation of statistics on nominal catches of fish, crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic animals, residues and plants. Beginning with Volume 82, the nominal catch statistics include only the production from capture fisheries with the exclusion of aquaculture production. Former volumes of the Yearbook contain catches and aquaculture statistics combined. The statistics are presented by country or territory, species, major fishin g area and year, and for various aggregations. In order to provide complete coverage of catch statistics throughout the world, where officially-reported national statistics are lacking or are considered unreliable, FAO makes estimates based on the best information available.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -
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.
