社会保护与农业：打破农村贫困恶性循环
2015“千年发展目标”中有关减轻贫困的目标已在多个国家实现，但仍有很多国家进展滞后，而2015年后面临的挑战将是彻底消除贫困和饥饿。很多发展中国家正日益认识到，要采取社会保护措施，及时帮助贫困人口摆脱贫困，同时防止其他人在危机来袭时陷入贫困。社会保护还能通过帮助受益人管理风险、创建资产和从事高收益活动，提高受益人的生产能力。这不仅惠及直接受益人，还能通过受益人购买食物、农业投入物和其他农村商品及服务，将惠益扩大至受益人所在社区乃至整个经济。然而，社会保护只有在包容性经济增长的前提下才能成为脱贫的可持续途径。在多数低收入和中等收入国家，农业仍是贫困人口的主要就业领域，是人们的主要生计来源，人们通过它赚取劳动报酬，并通过自有农业生产，供家庭食用并向市场出售。贫困及其相关后果，如营养不良、疾病和教育缺失等，都会阻碍农业生产率。因此，将社会保护和农业发展相互结合有助于形成合力，对二者都能起到扩大成效的作用。

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests. -
Book (series)Technical bookMediterranean coastal lagoons: sustainable management and interactions among aquaculture, capture fisheries and the environment 2015
Also available in:
No results found.The Mediterranean region hosts around 400 coastal lagoons, covering a surface of over 641 000 ha differing in both their typology and use. Fisheries and various forms of aquaculture have been traditionally carried out in Mediterranean coastal lagoons since ancient times and are part of the cultural heritage of the region. Traditional lagoon management linked to extensive aquaculture and fish harvesting has certainly contributed, over time, to preserve these peculiar ecosystems, although much of the coastal lagoon areas have progressively disappeared due to land reclamation and other uses. Recently, coastal lagoons have become a relevant environmental concern: land claiming, pollution and the lack of management, among other factors, have strongly modified both the structure and functioning of these sensitive coastal ecosystems. In particular, the management of traditional aquaculture and capture fisheries activities has been identified as the main instrument to maintain lagoons’ ecolog ical features and to prevent the degradation of their sensitive habitats, both from an environmental and socioeconomic point of view. To guarantee the sustainability of aquaculture and capture fisheries in lagoons, proper management plans should be established so as to ensure the preservation of both biodiversity and local knowledge. This should also be considered as a fundamental pillar for any programme aiming at the preservation and restoration of lagoons’ environment.
