Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPost-harvest management and hygienic seafood processing for small-scale fisheries in Bogale 2025
Also available in:
The Post-harvest management and hygienic seafood processing for small-scale fisheries in Bogale training manual is a comprehensive resource designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of small-scale fisheries (SSF) households in sustainable seafood handling, processing, and management. Tailored to the specific needs of Bogale’s SSF sector, this manual provides practical guidance on reducing post-harvest losses, improving seafood quality, and ensuring food safety while promoting sustainable practices.The guidebook is organized into four modules, each focusing on a critical component of hygienic seafood processing. The first module, post-harvest management for small-scale fisheries, identifies the causes of post-harvest losses and provides strategies to reduce waste and improve supply chain efficiency. The second module, seafood preservation and processing technology, delivers practical guidance on preservation techniques such as chilling, freezing, drying, and fermenting, supported by detailed process flow diagrams and description to ensure product quality and safety. The third module, fundamentals of food safety and preventive measures, emphasizes food safety awareness by outlining the four primary food safety hazards and their preventive measures, equipping participants to ensure safe seafood production and adopt healthier practices. The final module, good hygiene practices (GHP) in seafood processing, underscores the importance of maintaining hygiene standards in compliance with local and international regulations. This enables participants to achieve certifications and expand market access. Through this booklet, SSF households are equipped with the essential skills and knowledge to optimize seafood handling and processing practices, enhance product safety, quality, market access, and foster sustainable livelihoods within the fisheries sector. By integrating these practices, the manual aims to strengthen the resilience of Bogale’s fishing communities while supporting the long-term sustainability of aquatic resources in Ayeyarwaddy Region. -

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)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -
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.
