ProjectFactsheetSupporting Responsible Fisheries in the Eastern Mediterranean through Scientific & Institutional Cooperation (Eastmed Year 10) - GCP/INT/363/EC (Baby 02) 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The EastMed project’s overall aim is to support the sustainable management of marine fisheries in the Eastern Mediterranean subregion to boost economies and protect livelihoods. The achievement of this goal is supported through technical assistance and capacity development initiatives targeted at national fisheries departments, as means of increasing their scientific and technical skills on fisheries management, and through the development of coordinated, participatory fisheries management plans. -

ProjectFactsheetCooperation for responsible fisheries in Eastern Mediterranean - GCP/INT/271/EC 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Eastern Mediterranean countries have active fisheries that provide important sources of food and employment. However, the sustainability of fisheries production systems is affected by different threats, including the overfishing of main resources and environmental changes caused by pollution, habitat degradation, the introduction of alien species and the impact of climate change. The ability of countries to address these threats is hindered by the scarcity of information about the sector, limited human and financial resources and capacities, and different country priorities and institutional capacities. Moreover, the historically poor level of cooperation among Eastern Mediterranean countries has resulted in significant differences across nations in how fisheries are managed, hindering cooperation towards the management of shared marine resources. Support was therefore needed to strengthen national fisheries management capacities and to encourage cooperation in support of regional fisheries management initiatives established in the framework of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM). The EastMedproject was designed to support the development of regionally consistent fisheries management among Eastern Mediterranean countries through the monitoring of commercial fisheries and the development of fishery research and management capacity. EastMedbecame operational in September 2009 with funds from the European Union (DG-MARE), the Government of Italy through the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry Policies and the Government of Greece through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Rural Development and Food. The present report highlights the achievements obtained during the eighth year of financial contributions to the EastMedproject.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLooking at edible insects from a food safety perspective
Challenges and opportunities for the sector
2021Also available in:
No results found.While insect consumption by humans or entomophagy has been traditionally practiced in various countries over generations and represents a common dietary component of various animal species (birds, fish, mammals), farming of insects for human food and animal feed is relatively recent. Production of this ‘mini-livestock’ brings with it several potential benefits and challenges. The objective of this document is to provide the reader with an overview of the various food safety issues that could be associated with edible insects. The intended audiences of this publication are food safety professionals, policymakers, researchers, insect producers as well as consumers. The regulatory frameworks that govern production, trade and consumption of insects in various regions are discussed. The document ends with elucidating some other major challenges, such as consumer acceptance and scaling up production, that the edible insect industry would need to overcome to have a more global reach. -
BookletTechnical studyAgricultura 4.0 - Robótica agrícola y equipos automatizados para la producción agrícola sostenible 2021Este informe presenta y analiza las oportunidades que los nuevos avances tecnológicos relacionados con la automatización y la agricultura de precisión (por ejemplo, la robótica) pueden ofrecer a la agricultura en los países en desarrollo. Estas tecnologías están destinadas principalmente a brindar apoyo a los agricultores que tienen dificultades debido al costo de la mano de obra durante la cosecha de los cultivos y a hacer frente a la disminución de la disponibilidad de mano de obra para las operaciones generales de cultivo. Este informe también explora las posibles aplicaciones de la tecnología agrícola, presenta las tendencias actuales y describe algunos de los principales desafíos para la adopción exitosa de la mecanización agrícola sostenible en los países en desarrollo.
