Synopsis (short abstract) Public policies can support private initiatives aiming at activating the quality virtuous circle. This support can be supplied in all the phases of the circle, either directly through financial support, or indirectly by boosting the capacity of the stakeholders or by establishing efficient rules. The stakeholders who may benefit from such support should organize themselves in such a way that all potential beneficiaries will be included in this public support.

    Sheets Trainer. Training on Origin-Linked Products: Tools for a Participatory Approach 2013
    Also available in:
    This small introductory module is intended to present the way origin-linked products can be preserved and promoted, following the pathway of the origin-linked quality virtuous circle as exposed in the Guide “Linking People, Places and Products”. The origin-linked quality virtuous circle can indeed be used as a methodology with the aim of supporting local stakeholders in their management of activities in the GI system and optimizing its potential for sustainable development.

    Sheets Exercise. Training on Origin-Linked Products: Tools for a Participatory Approach 2013
    Also available in:
    Each training module is based on the combination of trainer sheet(s) to the related “content” (C) and exercice (E) sheets. The “exercise” sheets (marked with the letter E) contain all the materials the participants need to carry out the participatory activities, i.e. the questions they must answer or the scenarios and roles for role-playing. These materials, which may be adapted by the trainer (but always acknowledging the source), can be made available to participants according to needs.

    Quality & Origin Programme. Training on Origin-Linked Products: Tools for a Participatory Approach 2013
    Also available in:
    The promotion of links among local stakeholders, their territories and their food products is a pathway for sustainable development in rural communities throughout the world. The success of such process, especially through a geographical indication (GI), is based on a series of factors described along the origin-linked virtuous circle: identification of potentials, qualification of the product, remuneration through marketing, reproduction of local resources and the roles of public policies. The Quality & Origin Programme of FAO and REDD have jointly developed this training material for the promotion of origin-linked quality and sustainable geographical indications in a participatory process. Based on the guide “Linking People, Places and Products”, the “Content” sheets provide with the concepts, while the “Exercise” sheets provide with participative activities. The “Trainer” sheets together with the “introduction” will guide the trainer in the preparation of a tailored training in rel ation with the 5 steps of the virtuous circle.

    Meeting the sustainable development goals

    Also available in:
    The 2018 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture emphasizes the sector’s role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and measurement of progress towards these goals. It notes the particular contributions of inland and small-scale fisheries, and highlights the importance of rights-based governance for equitable and inclusive development. As in past editions, the publication begins with a global analysis of trends in fisheries and aquaculture production, stocks, processing and use, trade and consumption, based on the latest official statistics, along with a review of the status of the world’s fishing fleets and human engagement and governance in the sector. Topics explored in Parts 2 to 4 include aquatic biodiversity; the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture; climate change impacts and responses; the sector’s contribution to food security and human nutrition; and issues related to international trade, consumer protection and sustainable value chains. Global developments in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, selected ocean pollution concerns and FAO’s efforts to improve capture fishery data are also discussed. The issue concludes with the outlook for the sector, including projections to 2030. As always, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience, including policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.

    Food wastage footprint & Climate Change 2015
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The 2011 FAO assessment of global food losses and waste estimated that each year, one-third of all food produced in the world for human consumption never reached the consumer’s table. This not only means a missed opportunity for the economy and food security, but also a waste of all the natural resources used for growing, processing, packaging, transporting and marketing food. Through an extensive literature search, the 2011 assessment of food wastage volumes gathered weight ratios of food losse s and waste for different regions of the world, different commodity groups and different steps of the supply chain. These ratios were applied to regional food mass flows of FAO’s Food Balance Sheets for the year 2007. Food wastage arises at all stages of the food supply chains for a variety of reasons that are very much dependent on the local conditions within each country. At a global level, a pattern is clearly visible; in high income regions, volumes of wasted food are higher in the processin g, distribution and consumption stages, whereas in low-income countries, food losses occur in the production and postharvesting phases.
