No results found.This document presents the continuation of the work done in two previous workshops funded by DANIDA as reported in FAO Fisheries Report No. 619. While the first two workshops had concentrated on biological and bio-economic assessments, this Workshop, arranged by the FISHCODE project, funded by Norway, was dedicated to the creation of regional cooperation on research and management of the Caribbean spiny lobster. The Preparatory Phase of the Workshop produced four regional reports on th e status of the stocks, research and management, to serve as a basis for discussion during the meeting between scientists and decision makers, responsible for fisheries management. The first part of the report contains an up-to-date summary of information on the resources of the Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus), their fisheries and their management. The Management Workshop, after a discussion of the biology, the fisheries situation, management aspects and the benefits of reg ional cooperation, led to a number of important recommendations and proposed actions, including the intention of signing in the future an Inter- Institutional Agreement that would have the following objectives: 1) Development of research programmes in fisheries and aquaculture; 2) Capacity building through training and exchange of experts; 3) Technology transfer in fisheries and aquaculture. In addition the Management Workshop made recommendations regarding the functioning of the WEC AFC Ad Hoc Working Group on Spiny Lobster and the formulation of a Regional Strategy for research and management. It also recommended that FAO open a site on the Internet to facilitate communication and exchange of data. -

No results found.This document reports on the fifth in a series of regional workshops organized by the FAO Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) in cooperation with various regional institutions following on from those held in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2002 (refer to FAO Fisheries Reports 619, 643 and 715). The goal of each workshop was to build on the information based on the previous workshop. The fifth Regional Workshop comprised two meetings: the scientific meeting which reviewed and updated the st atus of the Caribbean spiny lobster at national, subregional and regional levels; the management meeting reviewed the conclusions and recommendations of the scientific meeting and agreed on strategies to ensure optimal and sustainable use of the resource. Amongst other important recommendations, the management meeting agreed that countries that do not have a minimum size in their regulations that is equal to or above 74 mm carapace length as the minimum size for harvest should make efforts to es tablish this size. In addition to minimum size, the management of fishing mortality was also necessary to achieve sustainable utilization of the resource. -

No results found.The meeting recommended that technical management measures be embedded in a broad regional management plan addressing ecological, social and institutional issues for adoption at the sixteenth session of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission. The meeting was in favour of standardizing available data and information for joint assessment and comparison purposes. Joint regional assessments should be made through OSPESCA, CRFM and WECAFC, and could be led by the countries who volunteered to carry out this task. The Terms of Reference for the Working Group were discussed and updated, and a Convener for the Working Group was elected. La primera reunión del Grupo de Trabajo de OSPESCA/COPACO/CRFM/CFMC sobre la langosta espinosa del Caribe tuvo lugar en la Ciudad de Panamá, Panamá, del 21 al 23 de octubre de 2014. Se recopiló y revisó los datos de captura y esfuerzo nacionales, las metodologías de evaluación de las poblaciones y las medidas de gestión para la langosta espinosa del Caribe. Las presentaciones de los países y el informe de la FAO/CRFM presentados, proporcionaron contribuciones importantes a esta discusión. La reunión notó una mejora global en la recopilación y la gestión de datos, y actualmente la mayoría de países tienen la capacidad de llevar a cabo evaluaciones de las poblaciones. El estado de las poblaciones segun parece ha mejorado en comparación con 2006Sin embargo, los tomadores de decisiones y hacedores de políticas pesqueras fueron instadas a tomar acción concreta para mejorar más las prácticas de ordenamiento a lo largo de la región.

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.

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. -

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.
