DocumentMonitoring the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security: A Civil Society Perspective 2012This study is intended to contribute to the effective implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines by exploring ways of monitoring the governance of tenure of land, fisheries and forests and providing a civil society perspective on monitoring in the context of the Guidelines. It provides an overview of existing and commonly used monitoring systems and practices in relation with tenure of land, fisheries and forests by civil society organisations and institutions. In order to do so, it will propose a schematic categorization of monitoring in the context of land, fisheries and forests. It will then present some illustrative examples of civil society monitoring initiatives and identify some characteristics of monitoring carried out by CSOs. Based on this, it will provide some recommendations for monitoring in the context of the Voluntary Guidelines. This particularly refers to issues that should be monitored and the way in which this monitoring should be carried out.

No results found.Fish and fishery products play a critical role in meeting global food security and nutritional needs, with approximately 3.1 billion people relying on them for around 20 percent of their average per capita intake of animal protein. Ethiopia's water bodies encompass 7 334 km² of major lakes and reservoirs, 275 km² of small water bodies, and 7 185 km of rivers. The country hosts a number of indigenous fish species, such as the Nile tilapia and the African catfish, which hold considerable importance for aquaculture. Despite this, Ethiopia’s annual per capita fish consumption rate of 0.5 kg in 2022 remains significantly lower than the global average of 20.2 kg. Fishing in the country relies primarily on artisanal methods, while aquaculture, despite favourable conditions, has not seen significant development. The country contains only a handful of subsistence fish farms, covering small ponds integrated with horticulture and livestock production, while there is a very limited number of commercial fish farming enterprises. Nevertheless, aquaculture holds promising potential in Ethiopia. As well as a conducive environment, bolstered by the current national strategy for aquaculture development, which offers incentives that attract both local and foreign investors, there are also a number of dams and reservoirs under construction, presenting additional opportunities for fish farming. -
Book (stand-alone)粮食体系风险：新趋势与新挑战 2021
Also available in:
粮食体系在过去几十年中的演变方式使其现在面临着重大风险，而且会给粮食体系的未来造成威胁。粮食体系的演变严重加剧了气候变化、环境破坏、自然资源过度开发以及空气、水和土壤污染。尽管全球平均能量供应有所提高，粮食和农产品市场有了很大发展，但粮食获取和附加值再分配方面出现了巨大的不平等，引发了严重的营养和社会新问题。基于对最新科学知识的回顾，该报告描绘了一幅暗淡的图景，聚焦于低收入和中低收入国家，这些国家的人口面临着比其他地方人口更大的挑战。各种威胁不断累积，几乎没有什么可选方案来适应或缓解这些风险组合。这是对所有参与粮食体系变革的企业、政策制定者、消费者、出资机构的呼吁，他们要牢记体系的各个方面及其多重成果和风险，以便能够塑造更可持续、更公平的粮食体系。
