Book (stand-alone)Technical bookCulture of Fish in Rice Fields 2004Rice is presently grown in 113 countries. Rice farming also offers a suitable environment for the culture of fish and other aquatic organisms. This publication synthesizes the available information on the role that aquaculture can play in rice-based farming systems towards food security and poverty alleviation. The review describes the history behind integrating aquaculture with different rice ecosystems, the various production systems in operation such as concurrent, rotational and alternate, t he modifications needed to the fields in order to integrate fish with rice farming, and the agronomic and aquaculture management that is necessary. The benefits of integration to communities - economic and environmental - are also described with reviews of the experiences from various countries. The real impacts of rice-fish farming and its future potential in terms of improved income and nutrition are significant but generally underestimated and undervalued. Notable changes have taken place in pest management in rice farming, and in fish seed production and availability making this a particularly relevant moment for emphasizing the importance of rice-fish farming. There is considerable potential for rice-fish farming to expand further in many countries and to contribute substantially towards global food and nutritional security.

Book (series)Flagship2022年粮食及农业状况
运用农业自动化推动农业粮食体系转型
2022自二十世纪初以来，自动化便一直与全球农业相生相伴。机动机械化成 效斐然 — 提高生产力，减轻繁重负担，提升劳动力配置效率，但同时也带来了一些不利的环境影响。近年来，数字农业自动化技术方兴未艾，一方面有望进一步提高生产力，增强韧性，另一方面也能兼顾以往机械化作业带来的环境可持续性挑战。《2022年粮食及农业状况》探究农业自动化的驱动因素，包括新兴的数字技术。本报告基于27个案例研究，分析了全球各类农业生产体系采纳数字自动化技术的商业逻辑。报告指出了阻碍此类技术得以包容性采纳的各种障碍，尤其是小规模生产者面临的障碍。主要障碍包括数字技能不高，缺少有利的基础设施，如通网和通电，此外还有资金限制。本出版物基于分析提出，相关政策要确保发展中区域的弱势群体能够从农业自动化进程中受益，且自动化进程要有利于建设可持续、有韧性的农业粮食体系。
