No results found.The report covers activities carried out during the second consultancy related to formulation and elaboration of feeding methods for shrimps within the objectives of project MOZ/86/033 - “Pilot for Coastal Shrimp Culture” at Costa Do Sol, Mozambique. During his first visit in September-November 1991 the consultant provided formulas of some diets for Penaeus indicus and trained the local staff in shrimp feed production and feeding methods. During the second visit the consultant observed that: The project initiated culture of P. monodon rather than of P. indicus, as originally anticipated, which required adjustment of the feeding formula for this other species. The quality of the feed was reduced because of changes in treatment of feed component (raw rather than cooked soybean). Due to the non availability of the product, use of raw soybean meal was later completely eliminated, and the feed was prepared with fish meal as the only source of protein with further reduction of the feed quality. The recommendation to mill the whole raw material into particles no bigger than 0.6 mm was not followed; the consultant found that particles bigger than 1 and 2 mm were used. It was also observed that the feed was contaminated with important amounts (5 to 15%) of material remained in the mixer after preparation of feed for other animal species. The shrimps were grossly overfed as a consequence of inadequated evaluation method of the population and failure to use feeders to measur e the feed quantities. The feed was given only during the night and very early in the morning and distributed at the edges of the tanks rather than by boat throughout the whole area. The evaluation of the population in the tanks was also derived from measurements during the night and at the edges; this fact gave an overestimate of the population, and the feed was not totally consumed. -

Promotion de l’Aquaculture et Privatisation de la Production d’Alevins

No results found.Le Gouvernement de Madagascar, assisté par le Programme des Nations Unies pour le Développement et l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'Alimentation et l'Agriculture, exécute depuis 1989 le projet “Promotion de l'Aquaculture et Privatisation de la Production d'Alevins sur les Hautes-Terres” qui est la suite du précédent projet dénommé “Vulgarisation de la pisciculture et développement de la pêche continentale” (1985–1988). La vulgarisation des techniques (rizi)piscicoles améliorées a été ac compagnée de l'installation de producteurs privés d'alevins dans le milieu rural. Cette stratégie fut un succès, d'une part, parce qu'il existait déjà une tradition en pisciculture et que la demande en alevins augmente chaque année, et d'autre part, parce que la production d'alevins à titre privé est une activité très rémunératrice. Même si le projet était au courant du fait que beaucoup de paysans pratiquaient la pisciculture en rizière et/ou en étang, le nombre effectif de ces derniers n'éta it cependant pas connu. L'étude géographique a déterminé pour la campagne 1991–1992 le taux de (rizi)pisciculteurs dans la région d'Antsirabe couverte par le projet à 51% des exploitants agricoles. De ces (rizi)pisciculteurs, 45% pratiquaient la rizipisciculture, 38% la pisciculture et 17% les deux. Le nombre de (rizi)pisciculteurs dans la région d'Antsirabe est, après extrapolation, estimé à 71.310 dont 44.743 rizipisciculteurs et 39.151 pisciculteurs. Il est à noter que 12.584 paysans pratique nt les deux activités en même temps. La superficie rizipiscicole dans la région d'Antsirabe est estimée à 7.069 hectares, et la superficie en étang piscicole serait de 666 hectares. Ce nombre très important de (rizi)pisciculteurs est confirmé par les résultats de l'enquête menée parallèlement dans la région de Fianarantsoa, où le projet est actif depuis 1989. L'enquête géographique a montré que 41% des exploitations agricoles de la zone de Fianarantsoa pratiquaient la (rizi)pisciculture. -

Also available in:
No results found.The Protocol of 8-9 July 1946 relative to the dissolution of the International Institute of Agriculture, transferred the functions and assets of the said Institute to FAO. Of these assets, the Library is unquestionably the most outstanding and is a lasting record of the Institute's work and its achievement in the field of agriculture. This catalogue will undoubtedly contribute towards a better knowledge of this international Library. This volume in its present form, represents the systematic card-index, by subject of the Brussels Decimal Classification, in French and English, and it's supplemented by the general alphabetical index of authors.
This is Part 1 of 4 - Books - sections General, Bibliographies, Periodicals, Philosophy and Social Sciences.

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.

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.
