    Détermination des zones prioritaires pour la lutte contre la trypanosomiase au moyen de données satellite et de la logique floue - Étude pilote réalisée au Togo
    Série Télédétection pour décideurs
    2001
    Also available in:
    Cette série, produite par le Service de l’environnement et des ressources naturelles de la FAO s’adresse aux décideurs que sont les chefs de service et directeurs de division d’administrations nationales et internationales, les directeurs de projet, les planificateurs et les responsables d’organismes de développement. Elle a pour objet de présenter les diverses possibilités d’appliquer les nouvelles techniques de télédétection et d’utilisation de systèmes d’informations géographiques pour faciliter la planification et la gestion des ressources naturelles renouvelables dans les secteurs de l’agriculture, de la foresterie et des pêches. Le présent numéro est plus spécialement destiné aux décideurs chargés d’appliquer les mesures de lutte contre les maladies à transmission vectorielle, et d’assurer la gestion des parcours.

    Technical study
    Mapping coastal aquaculture and fisheries structures by satellite imaging radar
    Case study of the Lingayen Gulf, the Philippines
    2004

    Inventory and monitoring of coastal aquaculture and fisheries structures provide important baseline data for decision-making in planning and development, including regulatory laws, environmental protection and revenue collection. Mapping these structures can be performed with good accuracy and at regular intervals by satellite remote sensing, which allows observation of vast areas, often of difficult accessibility, at a fraction of the cost of traditional surveys. Satellite imaging r adar (SAR) data are unique for this task not only for their inherent all-weather capabilities, very important as aquaculture activities mainly occur in tropical and subtropical areas, but essentially because the backscatter from the structure components allows for their identification and separation from other features. The area selected and object of the study has been Lingayen Gulf, sited in Northwestern Luzon Island, the Philippines, where all these structures of interest occur. F ield verification of the methodology resulted in the following accuracy: fishponds 95 percent, fish pens 100 percent. Mapping accuracy for fish cages was estimated at 90 percent and for fish traps at 70 percent. The study is based on interpretation of SAR satellite data and a detailed image analysis procedure is described. The report aims at the necessary technology transfer for an operational use of the approach indicated in other similar environments.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.

    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.

    Ethiopia: Report on feed inventory and feed balance
    2018
    2018
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Available evidence indicates that pastoral destitution in Ethiopia is principally driven by feed and water scarcity. Feed resources ought to be considered in the broader perspective and not predominantly during emergency as is the case now. Feed inventory and balance is therefore requisite such that the country is aware of its needs, resource availability, gaps, implications and how the gap can be filled within the country. This will make feed interventions in the country effective in the immediate, medium and long term as well as provide solutions for replication in the region. This document presents feed inventory and balance for Ethiopia.
