Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAttempts to Stimulate Development Activities in Fishing Communities of Adirampattinam, India - BOBP/REP/25 1986
Also available in:
No results found.This paper discusses the rationale, modus operandi, conduct and outcome of a pilot project to help the development of coastal fishing communities near Adirampattinam, Tamil Nadu, India. Two earlier papers on the project published by the BOBP are BOBP/WP/19 : “Coastal village development in four fishing communities of Adirampattinam, Tamil Nadu, India” and BOBP/WP/38: “Credit for fisherfolk: the experience in Adirampattinam, Tamil Nadu, India”. The project was carried out between 1980 and 1982 by the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) in cooperation with the fisheries department, Tamil Nadu, particularly its Fisherwomen’s Extension Service; and with the assistance of voluntary agencies such as the Working Women’s Forum. In the main, the project tried to improve the access of fishermen and fisherwomen to bank loans and Government credit schemes; and organized leadership training courses to promote leadership and group action. Some follow-up activities - relating, for example, to non-formal adult education and better water supply - were initiated after,the latter. The idea was to stimulate self-help and self reliance in Adirampattinam fishing communities, without any substantial external inputs. -
Book (stand-alone)ProceedingsReport and Proceedings of the Sri Lanka/FAO National Workshop on Development of Community-based Fishery Management - BOBP/REP/72
Colombo, Sri Lanka 3-5 October 1994
1998Also available in:
No results found.In Sri Lanka, traditional fisheries management has been implemented for many years in certain areas. The concept of participatory approaches in fisheries management where target beneficiaries are involved in the planning, decisionmaking and implementation of management measures is, therefore, not new in the country. The Government is keen to introduce and actively promote community-based management for the sustainable use of fisheries resources. The Workshop examined the possibilities of strengt hening participatory approaches in fishery management and identified a number of conditions to be met, and made recommendations for the government and other institutions to follow. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportSummary Report of BOBP Fishing Trials and Demersal Resources Studies in Sri Lanka - BOBP/REP/23 1986
Also available in:
No results found.This paper briefly describes the various studies and fishing trials concerning the demersal fishery resources of Sri Lanka conducted between 1979 and 1985 by the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). Some of these activities have been documented through the following papers : BOBP/WP/6 - “Fishing Trials with Bottom-set Longlines in Sri Lanka” by G. Pajot, K. T. Weerasooriya. BOBP/WP/16 - “Further Trials with Bottom Longlines in Sri Lanka”. BOBP/WP/40 - “Promotion of Bottom Set Longlines in Sri L anka” by K. T. Weerasooriya, S. S. C. Pieris, M. Fonseka. BOBP/WP/41 - “The Demersal Fisheries of Sri Lanka” by K. Sivasubramaniam and R. Maldeniya BOBP/WP/42 - “Fish trap trials in Sri Lanka”. This paper distils the findings of these papers-and of one other paper under preparation -for quick assimilation by planners, decision-makers and researchers. The demersal fishery activities reported in these papers were carried out by the BOBP’s small-scale fisheries project (funded by SIDA). A s enior fishing technologist and a senior fishery biologist were mainly responsible for the execution of BOBP activities. Officers from the Ministry of Fisheries and scientists from NARA (National Aquatic Resources Agency) were closely associated with the trials.

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.

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.
