ProjectProgramme / project reportReport of the bio-economic modelling workshop on the small pelagic fisheries of the west coast of peninsular Malaysia
Vistana hotel, Penang, Malaysia. 12-16 February 2001
2001Also available in:
No results found.A bio-economic modelling workshop was organized in order to improve the information base for the preparation of a fisheries management plan of the small pelagic fisheries of the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Plan preparation by the Department of Fisheries is supported by the FAO/Norway FishCode Project (see Field Reports F-13 and F-17). Two different modelling approaches have been applied to these fisheries. The surplus production bioeconomic model of the Gordon-Schaefer type sugg ests that effort at MSY is about 387,000 standard purse seine days producing a MSY of about 109,000 tonnes of small pelagics. At the MSY effort level, however, resource rent is completed dissipated and the fishery incurs an estimated loss of MR 25.6 million. As current effort level (data of 1997) is about 380,000 standardized fishing days, the analysis suggests that fishing effort and capacity are excessive. A resource rent of about MR 77 million might be attainable through the reducti on of fishing effort to 180,000 standardized fishing days, i.e. less than half of the current level. This result should be interpreted as providing an order of magnitude only because of the application of a single species model to an assemblage of small pelagic species. One species group, namely Rastrelliger, contributes 73 percent to the ex-vessel value of these fisheries. This result should also be interpreted cautiously because the shoaling nature of small pelagic species was not expl icitly taken into account in the modelling exercise.... -
ProjectProgramme / project reportReport on a consultation with stakeholders on the fisheries management plan for small-pelagic fisheries on the west coast of peninsular Malaysia
Penang, Malaysia, 19-20 February 2001
2001Also available in:
No results found.The report contains the proceedings and results of a consultation with stakeholders in the fishery for small-pelagic fish of the west coast of peninsular Malaysia of a Fisheries Management Plan for that fishery, that was drafted in August 2000 by staff of the Department of Fisheries of Malaysia with assistance of the FISHCODE Project (see FISHCODE Field Report No. F-13). The comments of the stakeholders were laid down in a table with agreed resolutions and in detail per working group in Appendix 8. These comments will be incorporated into a second draft of the Fisheries Management Plan that will be presented to representatives of the fishing industry before it is finalised and implemented. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportSupplement to the Report of a Workshop on the Fishery and Management of Short Mackerel (Rastrelliger spp.) on the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia 2000
Also available in:
No results found.The Workshop on the Fishery and Management of Short mackerel (Rastrelliger spp.) on the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia held in Penang (Malaysia), 4-6 May 1999, had a produced a Workshop Report of the FISHCODE Project (GCP/INT/648/NOR) as Field Report F-4. The present report is a supplement to this report and it contains a compilation of papers presented during the Workshop. The papers include the Status of the Kembong Fishery by Chee Phaik-Ean, Management of the Kembong Fishery by R aja M. Noordin Raja Omar, Socio-economic Aspects of the Kembong Fishery by Kamaruzaman and Lim Chai-Fong and four papers presented by fishermen representatives and fishing boat associations from various states in the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. A paper on the Process of Developing Fishery Management Plan presented by B. Pollock is also included, although the same paper had already been incorporated in the Workshop Report.

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. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also 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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The 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.
