    Introducing fisheries subsidies 2003
    Also available in:

    The first chapter explains why fishery subsidies are of concern, discusses alternative concepts of subsidies, explains why subsidies are implemented, and briefly considers the difficulties caused by the existence of subsidies. Chapter 2 sharpens the focus on fishery subsidies, discussing: first, the various types of subsidies that have been used, or are currently used, which affect fisheries; second, a selective history of fishery subsidies that have been implemented in a number of countries, mostly in the western hemisphere; third, a brief history of fishery management and overfishing; fourth, the concern with, and analysis of, fishery subsidies, both by national and intergovernmental agencies, that followed the publication of the FAO document Marine Fisheries and the Law of the Sea: A Decade of Change in 1992; fifth, problems encountered in the measurement of fishery subsidies; and sixth, the discussions of overfishing and fishery subsidies that have taken place in international fo ra from the Cancun International Conference on Responsible Fishing in May 1992 to the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development in September 2002. The third chapter considers current discussions of how the international community might be able to impose sufficient discipline to bring under control the subsidies that stimulate overfishing. The annex is a more technical discussion of the linkage between fishery subsidies and their effects on sustainability and trade.

    Literature Review of Studies on Poverty in Fishing Communities and of Lessons Learned in Using the SLA in Poverty Alleviation Strategies and Projects 2002
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This report presents the findings of a literature review on various aspects of poverty in fisheries and on lessons learned of poverty alleviation measures including the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach (SLA). The review was conducted on behalf of the DFID/FAO SFLP. The principal findings indicate that there are few studies and analyses on the extent and causes of poverty in fishing communities and on the contribution of the fisheries sector to poverty alleviation and food security. There is al so limited understanding on the impact on poverty of technological change, community and fishers’ organizations, and alternative fisheries management regimes. On the policy side, the review found that while government but especially donor-supported programmes often seek to reduce poverty in fishing communities, they are rarely targeted on the poor. While empirical evidence is still very limited, the SLA is an improvement over conventional sectoral approaches for combating poverty in fishing comm unities.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.
