DocumentOther documentWestern Indian Ocean fishery resources survey
Report on the cruises of R/V Professor Mesyatsev, December 1975 - June 1976/July 1977 - December 1977
1979Also available in:
No results found.This technical report summarizes findings and provisional analyses of the data accumulated during the course of the resources survey in the coastal waters of eastern Africa, from Somalia south of the equator to 27°S, including Madagascar and the Mauritius Seychelles Ridge. Due to late arrival of authorization, Madagascar and Somalia waters were eventually excluded from the survey programme. Provisional results are presented in tabular form supplemented by fish distribution/density maps. The surv ey data, after further analyses, will be presented in a technical data report to follow. -
DocumentOther documentUNDP/FAO fishery projects in the Indian Ocean region 1972
Also available in:
No results found.This report contains summaries of activities in 23 UNDP/FAO fishery projects in the Indian Ocean region currently in operation or recently terminated. It is based on information contained in Progress Reports, Reports of Review Missions, and in some cases, personal communications. Where projects are still in operation, the status reflected in the reports is that of 31 May 1972. Not all information is incorporated in the reports, because in some cases information was not available, and in others, for reasons of brevity. A second report will deal with bi-lateral aid projects, about which information is presently being collected. Finally, a third report will attempt to generalize, on the basis of the first two review papers, on the problems of project identification and formulation, project execution, and post-project follow-up and investment. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Second Ad Hoc Meeting on Management of Deepwater Fisheries Resources of the Southern Indian Ocean. Fremantle, Western Australia, 20-22 May 2002 2002
Also available in:
No results found.The Second Ad Hoc Meeting on Management of Deepwater Fisheries Resources of the Southern Indian Ocean, was organized and hosted by Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry - Australia (AFFA) with the technical cooperation of FAO. It was held in Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia, from 20 to 24 May 2002. The Meeting reviewed the status of information available relating to these fisheries and the events in their recent development. The meeting noted the importance of securing the operatio ns data from companies, particularly those that no longer wished to operate in the study area. It was observed that the level of fishing effort in the study area was declining as catch rates fell. Attempts to collate catch data were inhibited by the small number of vessels that had been operating in the study area so that issues of national confidentiality requirements became a constraint. The meeting reviewed various models to relate resource abundance to seabed features and concerns w ere noted about the cost of management in the regions where sustainable yields from the various stocks would be notably low. Progress was achieved in establishing statistical reporting areas, which were based on bathymetric features though in reviewing the appropriateness of management areas it was recognized that much of the information needed to determine such areas does not exist. The meeting noted that there is no active fisheries management in the study area and in discussions regardi ng the management of other deepwater fisheries their rapid depletion and commercial extirpation raised concerns for the study area. It was agreed that there is an urgent need to introduce effective management measures to prevent deepwater demersal fisheries in the Southern Indian Ocean suffering the same fate.

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. -
