Book (series)Technical studyCage aquaculture - Regional reviews and global overview. 2007This document contains nine papers on cage aquaculture including a global overview, one country review for China, and seven regional reviews for Asia (excluding China), northern Europe, the Mediterranean, sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America and Oceania, all of which were presented during the FAO Special Session on Cage Aquaculture – Regional Reviews and Global Overview at the Asian Fisheries Society Second International Symposium on Cage Aquaculture in As ia (CAA2), held in Hangzhou, China, from 3 to 8 July 2006. Each review, by geographic region, gives information about the history and origin of cage aquaculture; provides detailed information on the current situation; outlines the major regional issues and challenges; and highlights specific technical, environmental, socio-economic and marketing issues that cage aquaculture faces and/or needs to address in the future. The review recognizes the tremendous importance of cage aquaculture today and its key role for the future growth of the aquaculture sector. The global overview discusses the available data on cage aquaculture received by FAO from member countries; summarizes the information on cultured species, culture systems and culture environments; and explores the way forward for cage aquaculture, which offers especially promising options for multitrophic integration of current coastal aquaculture systems as well as expansion and further intensification at incre asingly offshore sites.

Book (series)Technical studyAssemblage et installation de cages hexagonales en bois pour l'élevage de poissons
Un manuel technique
2012Also available in:
Ce document est un guide pratique qui fournit la liste et les détails techniques des matériaux à utiliser pour assembler une cage hexagonale en bois pour l'élevage de poissons, ainsi que son système d'amarrage, dans le cadre d'une aquaculture artisanale. Les instructions pour l'assemblage des différents composants sont illustrés en détail et les directives techniques pour l'installation sur le site d'élevage sont aussi décrites. Cet ouvrage propose également des indications pour s'orienter dans le choix du modèle de cage et des composants utilisés en fonction des caractéristiques du site (environnementales, logistiques et sociales). Les exigences physiologiques des espèces d'elevage sur incidence sur les performances d'élevage ont été également évaluées dans le but de fournir le maximum d'informations nécessaires à la planification et à la mise en place d'une telle activité. Ce manuel explique également qu'il est possible, à travers le modèle de cage illustrée, d'exploiter des mili eux plus turbulents que ceux de l'aquaculture artisanale opérée traditionnellement. En fin de volume des annexes donnent des renseignements complémentaires sur les thèmes traités dans le texte.

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.

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.
