No results found.In an agreement between NORAD and FAO/UNDP the R/V “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” has been scheduled to work in the region from Morocco to Sierra Leone within the CECAF programme from August to December 1986. A planning meeting was held on 7-9 April at Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where it was agreed that the R/V “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” should work in Morocco for abt. 14 days in September and in November, in cooperation with the new R/V “Charif El Idrissi”. The first survey was set to the period 22 September to 5 October. Due to technical problems the “Charif El Idrissi” could not participate in the September survey, and it was decided that “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” should do the acoustical work by itself. In November the two vessels plan to do a joint survey. In accordance with the survey plan a main acoustical coverage of the shelf from Agadir to Cape Juby was first to be made to localize the aggregations of small pelagic fish, mainly sardines. Then effort was to be concentrated on these aggregatio ns with detailed studies on biomass estimation, target strength and fish behaviour. -

No results found.The research vessel “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” is scheduled to undertake several fishery resources surveys in the North Arabian Sea during 1983-84. These investigations are part of the UNDP/FAO Global Programme GLO/82/001. The first cruise in Pakistani waters under this programme was carried out in September 1983. The survey programme included acoustical survey for the purpose of mapping fish distribution and abundance estimation, trawling for identification of echo recordings, biological sampli ng and hydrographic observations. “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” carried out similar surveys in Pakistani waters during the North Arabian Sea Programme in 1975-76 and during the Joint NORAD/Pakistan Project from January to June 1971. The results from these investigations have been presented in cruise reports as well as in summary reports. The present survey was carried out during the period 19 January to 2 February 1984. Cruise tracks and the stations worked out appear in Figure 1. The sci entific staff consisted of the following: From Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, Norway: -

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. -

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.
