No results found.Farms 25/77 NQ and 27/77N0, located in North East District, were acquired by the Government from the freeholder, Mr Blackbeard in 1990. The purchase followed the recommendations of the consultants appointed to conduct the feasibility study of the Lower Shashe dam (SMEC, 1990), and had the objective of providing compensatory land for Matopi villagers who need to be relocated before flooding of the reservoir. During the latter part of 1990, the Tati Land Board proposed compensating Matop i residents by relocating them within the bounds of farms 25/77 and 27/77NQ. As a portion of the farm had been developed for irrigated agriculture, however, the Ministry of Agriculture was concerned that this resource should not be wasted, and that any potential for expansion of the irrigated area be investigated prior to land allocation. A study was therefore initiated in late 1990 by the Ministry of Agriculture to evaluate the farm for alternative land use options including resettlem ent of Matopi people. This study concluded that the potential for expanding the present irrigated area was limited. -

Key findings
2020This publication contains the main findings of the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 (FRA 2020). The data in FRA 2020 have been obtained through a transparent, traceable, reporting process and a well- established network of officially nominated national correspondents. The information provided by FRA presents a comprehensive picture of the world's forests and the ways the resource is changing. Such a clear global picture supports the development of sound policies, practices and investements affecting forests and forestry. -
Book (series)Technical bookMediterranean coastal lagoons: sustainable management and interactions among aquaculture, capture fisheries and the environment 2015
Also available in:
No results found.The Mediterranean region hosts around 400 coastal lagoons, covering a surface of over 641 000 ha differing in both their typology and use. Fisheries and various forms of aquaculture have been traditionally carried out in Mediterranean coastal lagoons since ancient times and are part of the cultural heritage of the region. Traditional lagoon management linked to extensive aquaculture and fish harvesting has certainly contributed, over time, to preserve these peculiar ecosystems, although much of the coastal lagoon areas have progressively disappeared due to land reclamation and other uses. Recently, coastal lagoons have become a relevant environmental concern: land claiming, pollution and the lack of management, among other factors, have strongly modified both the structure and functioning of these sensitive coastal ecosystems. In particular, the management of traditional aquaculture and capture fisheries activities has been identified as the main instrument to maintain lagoons’ ecolog ical features and to prevent the degradation of their sensitive habitats, both from an environmental and socioeconomic point of view. To guarantee the sustainability of aquaculture and capture fisheries in lagoons, proper management plans should be established so as to ensure the preservation of both biodiversity and local knowledge. This should also be considered as a fundamental pillar for any programme aiming at the preservation and restoration of lagoons’ environment. -
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.
