At a planning meeting in Rome, Italy, from 28 to 30 April, 2008 where all the five Caspian countries were represented, the country delegates identified a number of priority issues that needed to be addressed. All workshop participants at that meeting agreed that illegal, unreported and unr egulated (IUU) fishing and trade in sturgeon products are among the most serious threats to a sustainable exploitation of the sturgeon stocks of the Caspian Sea; and it was recommended that a technical Workshop on combating these activities be convened by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). FAO and CITES made a first attempt to organize such a workshop in April 2009. However, on that occasion most of the countries were unable to nominate appropriate candidates within the time frame provided to them. But FAO and CITES, being convinced that the Caspian countries are genuinely interested in addressing these issues, and considering the fact that the Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) project has been allowed to continue its activities for another six months, decided to make another effort to bring the countries together to examine the optio ns for concerted action dealing with these problems. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Regional Technical Workshop on Sustainable Marine Cage Aquaculture Development. Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, 25–26 January 2009 2009

No results found.The Regional Commission for Fisheries (RECOFI) Regional Technical Workshop on Sustainable Marine Cage Aquaculture Development, held from 25 to 26 January 2009 in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, was organized in view of the growing importance and interest of this aquaculture sub-sector across the region. The workshop focus was on environmental impact assessment and monitoring, and aquaculture licensing for marine aquaculture cage systems and aimed at identifying constraints and shortcomings that requi red to be dealt with to support the development of the cage industry and facilitate investments from the private sector. The document contains a set of suggestions and recommendations with regards to technical and policy requirements needed to support the growth of the aquaculture sector as a whole and more specifically cage fish farming. The report also contains three review documents on marine cage aquaculture in the region, regulation of Norwegian net-cage fish farming, and a review on cage a quaculture licensing procedures prepared as background discussion papers for the workshop. With specific regard to environmental impact assessment (EIA) the discussions held at the workshop clearly indicate that there is a need for the region and individual Commission members to develop an ad hoc EIA format based on the conditions of the local marine environment. A proposed cage aquaculture licence procedure was discussed and proposed at the workshop based on the format developed and adopted by the Sultanate of Oman. -

No results found.The Regional Workshop on Methods for Aquaculture Policy Analysis, Development and Implementation in Selected Southeast Asian Countries was convened by FAO and the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia and the Pacific (NACA), in response to a request from the Sub-Committee on Aquaculture (New Delhi, 2006). The workshop was also a follow-up to the recommendations of the Expert Consultation on Improving Planning and Policy Development in Aquaculture held in Rome in 2008. It enabled the building of capacity related to aquaculture planning and policy development by encouraging participants to critically reflect on the planning processes undertaken in their countries and on the relevance of the contents of their aquaculture policies. Participation, achievability, accountability, continuity, monitoring and evaluation, and balancing goals were identified as the six key characteristics of sound aquaculture policies. The workshop recommended the holding of similar capacity building workshops at national levels, the follow-up by the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Centre (SEAFDEC) of the issue of regional integration in the aquaculture sector and the dissemination of the FAO technical guidelines for aquaculture policy formulation and implementation, if possible in their Southeast Asian specific version.

Book (stand-alone)FlagshipThe State of the World's Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture presents the first global assessment of biodiversity for food and agriculture worldwide. Biodiversity for food and agriculture is the diversity of plants, animals and micro-organisms at genetic, species and ecosystem levels, present in and around crop, livestock, forest and aquatic production systems. It is essential to the structure, functions and processes of these systems, to livelihoods and food security, and to the supply of a wide range of ecosystem services. It has been managed or influenced by farmers, livestock keepers, forest dwellers, fish farmers and fisherfolk for hundreds of generations. Prepared through a participatory, country-driven process, the report draws on information from 91 country reports to provide a description of the roles and importance of biodiversity for food and agriculture, the drivers of change affecting it and its current status and trends. It describes the state of efforts to promote the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity for food and agriculture, including through the development of supporting policies, legal frameworks, institutions and capacities. It concludes with a discussion of needs and challenges in the future management of biodiversity for food and agriculture. The report complements other global assessments prepared under the auspices of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, which have focused on the state of genetic resources within particular sectors of food and agriculture. -

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. -

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
