BookletCorporate general interestThe contribution of small-scale fisheries to healthy food systems and sustainable livelihoods in the United Republic of Tanzania 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This Small-scale Fisheries Brief is tailored to provide insight into the contribution of small-scale fisheries to healthy food systems and sustainable livelihoods in the United Republic of Tanzania. Small-scale fisheries are the largest source of fish supply (96%) in the country and will continue to be so for decades to come. Fish from small-scale fisheries are one of the most affordable nutritious, affordable and accessible food sources. Over 34.8 million people are nourished from fish supplied from small-scale fisheries in the United Republic of Tanzania, contributing to the fight against malnutrition and hunger. In addition, small-scale fisheries provide immense economic benefits, particularly in rural environments. At least 4.5 million people depend at least partially on small-scale fisheries livelihoods in the United Republic of Tanzania, with one in four people employed being women. The sector has an essential role in transforming the United Republic of Tanzania’s future food system and securing the Sustainable Development Goals by contributing to healthy and sustainable diets, equitable livelihoods and leaving no one behind in the fight against hunger and poverty. However, small-scale fisheries face multiple threats and challenges, such as shocks (due for example to climate change or COVID-19), poor governance and post-harvest waste and loss which undermine the potential benefits to society. Strengthening the commitment and implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) can help safeguard and enhance small-scale fisheries’ contributions to sustainable development and food systems in the United Republic of Tanzania. Strategies are needed to reduce fish waste and loss and the inequalities across value-chains, as well as to promote equitable trade, governance and utilization of fish as food. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookA diagnostic on social protection needs and opportunities for forest-dependent communities in the United Republic of Tanzania 2018
Also available in:
No results found.This study is aimed at gaining an understanding of the poverty and vulnerability situation of forest-dependent communities in the United Republic of Tanzania and generating information on the availability of social protection interventions, with a view to identifying pathways for establishing sustainable social protection for these communities. Social protection is taken to include “all initiatives, both formal and informal, that provide social assistance to extremely poor individuals and households; social services to groups who need special care or would otherwise be denied access to basic services; social insurance to protect people against the risks and consequences of livelihood shocks; and social equity to protect people against social risks such as discrimination and abuse” (Devereux and Sabates-Wheeler, 2008).

Book (series)FAO journal恢复地球—未来十年
Unasylva 252 - 2020年1月第71卷
2022本期Unasylva杂志旨在展示森林景观恢复（FLR）的机会和进展，这些机会和进展能扩大恢复的规模，以实现"波恩挑战"及其他国家和国际承诺（可持续发展目标（SDGs），《生物多样性公约》(CBD）2020年后议程、《联合国防治荒漠化公约》（UNCCD）土地退化零增长、《联合国气候变化框架公约》（UNFCCC）下的《巴黎协定》），并满足2021-2030年联合国生态系统恢复十年的需求。 杂志涉及与各受众相关的主题：i) 与所谓的 "一切照旧 "做法不同的旗舰恢复倡议，这些旗舰倡议能输送更多的资金，更好地赋予当地利益相关者权力，并通过合作伙伴联盟提供更多的技术援助；ii) 可以扩展森林景观恢复的技术进步，由于不同的原因（低成本、适应性、与许多生态系统和环境的相关性、易于实施等），这些技术进步很有可能成为主流。iii) 利于恢复的因素，即协调、政策环境、资源、知识和能力，这些因素都为在当地采取行动创造了有利条件。 -

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.
