Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Subregional Workshop to Promote Sustainable Aquaculture Development in the Small Island Developing States of the Lesser Antilles. Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia, 4-7 November 2002. 2003
Also available in:
No results found.The workshop was organized by the FAO Subregional Office for the Caribbean in collaboration with the Development Planning and Inland Water Resources and Aquaculture Services of the FAO Fisheries Department, Rome. It was hosted by the Government of Saint Lucia, and attended by 15 participants from seven countries, four regional institutions and the FAO Fisheries Department. The syntheses of the national experiences and status of aquaculture development in the Lesser Antilles reflected a signifi cant level of diversity in the scale of activities among the island nations; they also revealed many similarities in the results and present status of aquaculture development in the subregion. The case studies elicited very positive comments and enquiries from the country representatives. In the plenary deliberations, to identify the constraints to and opportunities for developing aquaculture sustainably in the subregion, participants recognized the need to rank the aquaculture development act ivities based on individual country-priorities and stage of development. The workshop agreed that participants would consult with the decision-makers in their respective countries and communicate a priority-list of needs for possible technical assistance to the technical secretary of the workshop. It was also agreed that such a list would be used to identify common themes that could form the basis for a possible subregional Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) project proposal. -

Results of twenty national surveys using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES)
2022Also available in:
No results found.This report presents the results of assessments based on the food insecurity experience scale (FIES), data collected by FAO in twenty least developed countries (LDCs), landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) between November 2021 and February 2022. For nine of the countries (including eight SIDS), it was the first time FIES data had been collected. The surveys described in the report were conducted to provide accurate and timely food insecurity assessments of the 20 countries for which food security data are scarce. The detailed results, presented at the subnational level, can support country-level decision-making and will also inform the monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets, specifically SDG Target 2.1.

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAnalysis of the agricultural insurance system in Serbia and recommendations for better effectiveness 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The main purpose of this document is to provide recommendations of changes needed to ensure the effectiveness of the agricultural insurance system, including identification of international best practices that could be applicable to Serbia. Prior to compiling this report, a desktop review of the current status of agricultural insurance and related legislative and normative documents in Serbia was conducted. The main legislative documents regulating agricultural insurance, including the Insurance Law, Obligations Law, Hail Protection Law, the Law on Agricultural and Rural Development Subsidies, and the Law on Reconstruction Following Natural and Other Hazards, were analysed. The key regulatory and normative documents have been reviewed, including the rulebook on the conditions, manner and form of application for exercising the right to subsidies for the insurance premium for crops, fruits, perennial crops, nurseries and animals; the regulation on the distribution of incentives in agriculture and rural development in 2020; and the guidelines on minimal standards of conduct and good practice of insurance market participants. The project team reviewed the regulations on the distribution of incentives in agriculture and rural development from the previous years (2016–2019) and made a comparative analysis of the changes and modifications per each year as related to agricultural insurance. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookUrban stakeholder analysis for food waste prevention and reduction in Sri Lanka 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Mapping stakeholders and their potential roles for prevention and reduction of food waste (FW) supports a coherent, coordinated and complementary approach to quantification, causes identification, and scaling up of feasible solutions for significant returns on investment. State and non-state stakeholders were mapped in selected municipalities: Colombo metropolitan area (Colombo, Sri Jayewardenepura-Kotte, Negombo, Kaduwela, and Moratuwa Municipal council areas), Jaffna, Kandy, Batticoloa, Kurunegala, and Galle. Stakeholders were grouped into four clusters: producers, enterprises/food business operators, private/public/civil society organizations, and households. The stakeholders’ maps guided sensitization and capacity-building sessions whose conclusions fed into the preparation of the National Roadmap on Urban Food Waste Prevention and Reduction for Households, Food services, Retailers, and Wholesalers launched on 17 August 2021. According to the analysis, the institutions working on food and/or (bio-)waste can be divided into governmental, semi-governmental, private, and non-governmental. Food safety, quality control, and waste management in Sri Lanka is under the umbrella of the Central Government, Provincial Council (PC), and Local Authorities (LAs) that cover governance (e.g. policies and regulations), production, trade, input supply, services, welfare support, and research. However, duties and responsibilities are, sometimes, crosscutting and interrelated with overlaps that can lead to poor coordination. An array of institutions at central and provincial levels are engaged to strengthen the food production sector in Sri Lanka. The existing inter-institutional coordination mechanism could be improved. The coordination for knowledge generation and dissemination between national and provincial systems should be strengthened. The report was produced for the project "Innovative approaches to reduce, recycle, and reuse FW in urban Sri Lanka", implemented under the oversight of the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) from June 2019 to August 2021.
