No results found.The twentieth session of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic fish off Northwest Africa was postponed until 2021 due to the global pandemic situation in 2020. The 2021 meeting was divided into two digital sessions, and updated the assessments to 2020 (or 2019, if no 2020 data were available). A separate digital meeting was convened to discuss 2019 surveys for the region from the R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen and review the progress of research using the data collected from these surveys. La vingtième session du Groupe de travail de la FAO sur l'évaluation des petits pélagiques au large de l'Afrique du Nord-Ouest a été reportée à 2021 en raison de la situation pandémique mondiale en 2020. La réunion de 2021 a été divisée en deux sessions numériques et a mis à jour les évaluations jusqu'en 2020 (ou 2019, si aucune donnée 2020 n'était disponible). Une réunion numérique distincte a été convoquée pour discuter les campagnes effectuées en 2019 par N/R Dr Fridtjof Nansen dans la région et examiner les progrès de recherches à l'aide des données collectées à partir de ces campagnes. -

No results found.The eighteenth meeting of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa was held in Banjul, the Gambia, 26 June–1 July 2018. The first day of the meeting was dedicated to reviewing the outcomes of a two-day meeting to discuss the relevance of 2017 survey data from the R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen to the Working Group. During the remaining days, the Group assessed the status of the small pelagic resources in Northwest Africa and made projections on the development of the status of the stocks and on future effort and catch levels. The advice for the stocks is in general given in relation to the agreed target and limit reference points (F0.1, B0.1, FMSY, and BMSY)and on the basis of the projections for the next four or five years. The structure of the report is in general the same as that of the previous Working Group reports (FAO, 2002–2017), and includes information on the small pelagic fisheries in the Canary Islands. A separate section is devoted to each of the main groups of species (sardine, sardinella, horse mackerel, chub mackerel, anchovy, and bonga). For each of these, standardized information is given on stock identity, fisheries, abundance indices, sampling intensity, biological data, assessment, projections, management recommendations and future research. Additional information on the different analysis and choices made by the Working Group has been included, when this was deemed necessary. The Working Group continued the exploration of alternative assessment methods as CMSY for poor data to be used together with the assessment methods traditionally used as well as the work on documenting options and information used in the assessment, thus following up on recommendations from a technical review and the CECAF Expert Group meeting on assessment methods (FAO, 2015) and on recommendations from the Scientific sub-committee. La dix-huitième réunion du groupe de travail de la FAO sur l'évaluation des espèces de petits pélagiques au large de l’Afrique nord-occidentale s'est tenue à Banjul, en Gambie, du 26 juin au 1er juillet 2018. Le 26 juin a été consacré à l'examen des résultats d'une réunion de deux jours tenue à l'IMR à Bergen pour discuter de la pertinence des données de la campagne de 2017 du N/R Dr Fridtjof Nansen pour le groupe de travail. M. Erling Kaare Stenevik (IMR, Norvège) a présenté le document de travail et a dirigé les discussions avec le groupe de travail. Entre le 27 juin et le 1er juillet, le Groupe a évalué l'état des ressources en petits pélagiques au large de l’Afrique nord-occidentaleet a fait des projections sur l'évolution de l'état des stocks ainsi que sur l'effort futur et les niveaux de capture. Les avis concernant les stocks sont généralement donnés par rapport aux points de référence cibles et limites convenus (F0.1, B0.1, FMSY et BMSY) et sur la base des projections pour les quatre ou cinq prochaines années. La structure du rapport est généralement la même que celle des rapports précédents du Groupe de travail (FAO, 2002-2017) mais inclue des informations supplémentaires sur les pêcheries de petits pélagiques dans les îles Canaries. Une section distincte est consacrée à chacun des principaux groupes d’espèces (sardine, sardinelles, chinchards, maquereau, anchois et bonga). Pour chacune des espèces, des informations standardisées sont fournies sur l'identité du stock, les pêcheries, les indices d'abondance, l'intensité de l'échantillonnage, les données biologiques, l'évaluation, les projections, les recommandations de gestion et les recherches futures. Des informations supplémentaires sur les différentes analyses et choix effectués par le groupe de travail ont été incluses, lorsque cela a été jugé nécessaire. Les captures totales des principales espèces de petits pélagiques dans la sous-région ont connu une augmentation minime, passant de 2,7 millions de tonnes en 2016 à 2,71 millions de tonnes en 2017. Les captures totales de petits poissons pélagiques ont fluctué entre 1990 et 2017, avec une moyenne d'environ 1,9 millions de tonnes alors que la moyenne des cinq dernières années est de 2,5 millions de tonnes. Des campagnes de prospection couvrant l'ensemble de l'aire de répartition de l'espèce ont été effectués en 2017 par le N/R Dr Fridtjof Nansen. Le groupe de travail a poursuivi l'exploration de méthodes d'évaluation alternatives comme CMSY, afin de remédier aux problèmes de données à utiliser (poor data), en plus dedes méthodes d'évaluation utiliséestraditionnellement par le groupe, ainsi que la documentation des options et des informations utilisées dans l'évaluation, suite aux recommandations issues de la réunion du groupe d’experts du COPACE sur les méthodes d’évaluation des stocks (FAO, 2015) et les recommandations du sous-comité scientifique du COPACE. -

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.
