BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
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. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureAspirational principles and criteria for a sustainable bioeconomy 2021
Also available in:
No results found.To promote the production, utilization, conservation and regeneration of biological resources in ways that support global food and nutrition security and sustainable development, it is necessary to have a holistic vision for a sustainable and circular bioeconomy. Through the International Sustainable Bioeconomy Working Group (ISBWG), a multistakeholder group established in 2016, FAO provides international support to increase national capacities to develop strategies and policies that can realize this vision for a transition towards sustainability. Aware that the implementation of bioeconomy involves potential synergies and trade-offs with regards to sustainability, the ISBWG proposes to mainstream a set of Aspirational Principles and Criteria for a Sustainable Bioeconomy across all economic sectors. The Principles and Criteria cover the different dimensions of sustainability and provide a reference list of issues that should be addressed to develop bioeconomy in a sustainable and circular way at international, national and local levels. The bioeconomy that is desired is one that unlocks the potential of nature to provide bioresources, bioprocesses and biodiversity, and respects the planetary boundaries. The Principles and Criteria contribute to ensuring that ‘no one is left behind’ in the transition to a greener, fairer and more profitable economy that can make possible the achievement of all the Sustainable Development Goals. -

The CAQ discussed on the main problems faced by the Mediterranean aquaculture market and agreed on the need to harmonize and to implement the procedures for site selection and site management of Mediterranean aquaculture, for Environmen tal Impact Assessment and Environmental Monitoring Programmes (EMP). The Committee confirmed that the sustainability of aquaculture depends on four key dimensions being the economic, social, environmental and governance dimension. The CAQ noted that identification of sustainable aquaculture indicators and reference points should be understandable for all stakeholders and easily quantifiable. It formulated aquaculture management advice aimed to establish a regional data collection scheme for aqua culture data and information and agreed on the preliminary set of data to be collected. It agreed upon its workplan for 2009.
