No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)ProceedingsAfrica regional aquaculture review: Proceedings of a workshop held in Accra, Ghana, 22-24 September 1999 2000
Also available in:
No results found.The major goals of the Review were to: Evaluate the past 30 years of aquaculture development efforts in sub-Saharan Africa with specific focus on extension and public sector support for aquaculture. Review the present status of aquaculture in the region through an analysis of small-scale integrated production systems and medium- to large-scale systems. Identify trends in aquaculture development. Prepare an outline of key elements of a general aquaculture development strategy. Specific out puts of the Review include: A list of lessons learned. Recommendations for a structure for aquaculture extension services. Recommendations for the level of government support for aquaculture development. A summary of current trends in small-, medium- and large-scale aquaculture systems. An overview of prerequisites for commercial aquaculture. An outline of key elements of a general aquaculture development strategy. A foundation for a network of practitioners to facilitate information exch ange. The identified common elements of a strategy for future aquaculture development in sub-Saharan Africa are the following: Establish national development policies and an Aquaculture Development Plan in consultation with stakeholders. Reduce expensive and unsustainable aquaculture infrastructure. Promote and facilitate the private sector production of seed and feed. Encourage credit for medium- and large-scale producers. Revise aquaculture extension, establishing a flexible and efficient structure to meet producers' needs. Advocate farmer-friendly existing technologies that use readily available culture species and local materials. Promote collaboration, coordination and information exchanges between national and regional aquaculture institutions and agencies. Facilitate the formation of Farmers' Associations. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Technical studySupporting aquaculture development in Africa: Research Network on Integration of Aquaculture and Irrigation 1998
Also available in:
No results found.This is the report of a mission fielded in October-November 1997 to visit successively Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali, Zambia and Zimbabwe, previously identified as potential contributors to a research network on the integration of aquaculture and irrigation, including fishery enhancement in small water bodies. Available resources (infrastructure, staff, finances) for aquaculture and irrigation research, as well as the development status of these two sub-sectors, were identified and evaluated. Inte rest and willingness to participate in the network were ascertained Main findings were the following: In general, resources are very limited except for infrastructure in Ghana and Zambia, where human resources should also improve in the near future. Government resources to support aquaculture development are rather limited, particularly in Burkina Baso, Mali and Zimbabwe. Although some private initiatives exist in Mali and Ghana, they are particularly developed in Zambia. This contributes t o make of Zambia one of the main aquaculture producers in sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, most SWB fishery enhancement activities are private iniatives, either at village level in Mali and Ghana or at farm level in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Guidelines are now being finalized by ALCOM for the rapid evaluation of SWB fishery potential and for community-based enhancement/management of SWB fish resources in southern African countries. Several types of integration of aquaculture and irrigation hav e been tried in Mali and Ghana, on a relatively small scale. The Zambia SPFS is actively carrying out trials on small-scale fish farming integration in wetland areas. Large-scale schemes with surface irrigation and full or partial water control are particularly well developed in Mali, but also in Zambia and Zimbabwe where more than 20000ha are available. The largest irrigation potential exists in Ghana. Good potential is also present in Mali and Zambia. The Special Programme on Food Sec urity is well ahead in Zambia and has been initiated in the field in Burkina Faso. In Mali, it is still in the preparatory phase, while in Ghana and Zimbabwe, the National Programme is under preparation. National institutions to become involved in the African -

No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Training materialPlanning in government forest agencies how to balance forest use and conservation: agenda for training workshop. 1998
Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of planning for forestry development is to establish a workable framework for forest use and conservation which incorporates the economic, social and environmental dimensions on a sustainable basis. The framework is about creating a shared vision of how forests will be used and protected. This can be summed up in a single central question: Trees and forests for whom and for what? The question is not new but what is new is the perception that so many different groups have an interest in the reply. Forestry planning has traditionally been mainly concerned with the production of timber for industry and other wood products, and with forest industry development. Planning for environmental goals also has a long history but was largely restricted to designated areas for exclusive conservation. National forestry development agencies were essentially responsible for the sustained yield management on protected public forest lands and for reserved forests. The term "sustained yield " was mostly limited to wood production and therefore excluded the majority of other forest products and services. Although most forestry agencies have made progress towards multiple-use management, planning remains often biased towards timber in a wide range of countries. Many of the actions taken in order to stimulate forestry development in the immediate failed to sustain the momentum of growth in the longer term. Short term achievements sometimes resulted in degradation or destruction of the stock of natural capital needed in order to maintain growth in the future or reduced options for future end uses by degrading the forest capital. -
Book (stand-alone)Flagship2015–16年农产品市场状况
贸易与粮食安全：更好地平衡国家重点与集体利益
2015全球农产品和粮食产品贸易已在最近几十年取得快速增长，各国作为出口或进口方越来越多地参与这一贸易进程。这种趋势预计将在今后几十年中持续。因此，贸易将在全球各区域对粮食安全的程度和性质产生越来越重要的影响。我们面临的挑战就是确保农产品贸易的扩大能对消除饥饿、粮食不安全和营养不良起到促进作用，而不是阻碍作用。 本版《农产品市场状况》旨在缓解目前各方在农产品贸易对粮食安全产生的影响以及如何管理农产品贸易以确保贸易开放度的增加能惠及所有国家等问题上出现的观点两极分化现象。本书通过就一系列话题举证和说明，努力促成各方就政策选择开展有实证依据的辩论，并在政策选择过程中努力实现必要的改进。 -

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.
