Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018 (SOFIA)
Meeting the sustainable development goals
2018The 2018 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture emphasizes the sector’s role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and measurement of progress towards these goals. It notes the particular contributions of inland and small-scale fisheries, and highlights the importance of rights-based governance for equitable and inclusive development. As in past editions, the publication begins with a global analysis of trends in fisheries and aquaculture production, stocks, processing and use, trade and consumption, based on the latest official statistics, along with a review of the status of the world’s fishing fleets and human engagement and governance in the sector. Topics explored in Parts 2 to 4 include aquatic biodiversity; the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture; climate change impacts and responses; the sector’s contribution to food security and human nutrition; and issues related to international trade, consumer protection and sustainable value chains. Global developments in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, selected ocean pollution concerns and FAO’s efforts to improve capture fishery data are also discussed. The issue concludes with the outlook for the sector, including projections to 2030. As always, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience, including policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries 2020 2020
Also available in:
No results found.This third edition of the State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries provides a comprehensive overview of the status of fisheries in the region, looking at their main features and trends, in order to better inform their management and better examine current and future challenges that they will face in the near future. The aim of this report is to produce a document that could provide useful analysis and direction for decision-making and future action. In this respect, this publication also represents a convenient source of information for the FAO Committee on Fisheries and offers a practical complement to the data provided in the State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture published by the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department. This volume includes seven chapters divided into two sections: a first part on the status and trends of different aspects of Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries, including fleet, catches, socio-economic variables and bycatch, and a second part that focuses on the management of Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries, including an overview on small-scale fisheries. This report is based to a large extent on the most up-to-date data available submitted by GFCM contracting and cooperating non-contracting parties, including information on stock status, national catches, fleet and socio-economic information up to 2018. It is also complemented with information from other sources. -
Book (series)FlagshipLa situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture 2019
Aller plus loin dans la réduction des pertes et gaspillages de denrées alimentaires
2019Réduire les pertes et les gaspillages de denrées alimentaires est un impératif qui fait partie intégrante du Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030. De l’avis général, la réduction des pertes et gaspillages alimentaires peut contribuer de manière décisive à l’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition, à la promotion de la durabilité environnementale et à la baisse des coûts de production. Toutefois, dans ce domaine, les efforts n’aboutiront que s’ils reposent sur une connaissance approfondie du problème. Le présent rapport fournit de nouvelles estimations sur le pourcentage des denrées alimentaires qui sont perdues au niveau mondial, depuis le stade de la production jusqu’à la vente au détail. Il constate par ailleurs une grande hétérogénéité dans les estimations relatives aux pertes alimentaires, souvent pour un même produit ou un même stade de la chaîne d’approvisionnement. Le fait de pouvoir déterminer et comprendre clairement les points critiques où se produisent les pertes dans les différentes chaînes d’approvisionnement – là où le potentiel de réduction des pertes alimentaires est élevé – est une condition essentielle si l’on veut prendre des mesures adéquates. Le rapport fournit des principes directeurs susceptibles de guider les interventions de réduction des pertes et gaspillages alimentaires en fonction des résultats escomptés, que ce soit sur le plan de l’efficacité économique, de la sécurité alimentaire, de la nutrition ou de la durabilité environnementale.
