    Case Study on Commodity Chain Analysis: Irrigated Rice Chain of the Niger’s Office (Mali): Financial and Economic Account   2005
    Also available in:
    This module illustrates a case study regarding the Commodity Chain Analysis (CCA). It belongs to a set of modules which discuss how to carry out CCA through a step–by-step procedure. The user is introduced to a real situation where he has to build and analyze a commodity chain. The case study contains five exercises based on a database provided in a spreadsheet, containing all relevant information (e.g, yields, hectares per agent etc). The first exercise allows the user to familiarize with the f unctional analysis of a commodity chain. The second exercise aims to practise the flows analysis. The third one helps experts to use the production-trading accounts which are the real foundations of the CCA. The fourth one allows us to build the analysis model based on the accounts of individual agents. Finally, the fifth one illustrates how to use this model to simulate scenarios.

    Value Chain Analysis for Policy Making: Methodological Guidelines and country cases for a Quantitative Approach 2013
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    These guidelines provide users with the key notions required to carry out analyses of policy impacts by means of a value chain approach and show how to do it by making use of relevant approaches and tools. In particular, users will find this material useful to identify the main features of a given value chain, build consistent value chain accounting frameworks, building alternative scenarios reflecting changes that given policy measures are likely to introduce in value chains, measure in monetar y terms shifts in physical production, value added, and income accruing to the various agent involved and provide relevant information to decision makers and other stakeholders involved in policy making processes. For instance, the user will be driven to identify the basic units operating in a given value chain and the activities they undertake, quantify revenue, value added and profits of every agent, build different scenarios for selected policy options, calculate value added and other margins , compute protection and competitiveness indicators.

    Classification and illustrated definition of fishing gears 2021
    Also available in:
    This document elaborates the revised International Standard Statistical Classification of Fishing Gear (ISSCFG), as endorsed and adopted for implementation by the FAO Coordinating Working Party on Fishery Statistics (CWP) at its Twenty-fifth Session in February 2016 in Rome, Italy. The classification applies to commercial, subsistence and recreational fisheries in marine and freshwater fisheries. The document provides definitions and illustrations of the configuration and mode of operation of typical fishing gears. The primary purpose is to assist FAO Members, regional fishery bodies, as well as those working on fishery statistics and management, to correctly attribute and report fisheries catches made by different gear types. The document also contributes to the prevention, deterrence and elimination of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing by providing monitoring, control and surveillance personnel with information to identify the type of fishing gear with regard to licence and authorization to carry out fishing operations. Finally, the document also provides context and references for some contemporary conservation issues related to major fishing gear types; it can therefore be used as a reference text for students and researchers in fisheries and marine conservation.

    The future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017

    What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.

    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.
