Book (series)Technical studyاستخدام نظم المعلومات الجغرافية، الاستشعار من بعد والتخريط في تنمية وإدارة الاستزراع البحري 2010الغرض من هذه الوثيقة هو إيضاح الوسائل التي يمكن أن تلعب من خلالها نظم المعلومات الجغرافية، الاستشعار من بعد والتخريط دورا في تنمية وإدارة الاستزراع البحري، من منظور عالمي. والتوجه هنا هو عرض أمثلة للتطبيقات التي استهدفت لحل العديد من المشاكل في مجال الاستزراع البحري. أما الهدف المعلن فهو تحفيز الأفراد في الحكومة، الصناعة، والقطاعات التعليمية في مجال الاستزراع البحري على استخدام هذه الأدوات بشكل أكبر. وقد سبق أمثلة التطبيقات مقدمة مختصرة عن الأدوات الفراغية واستخدامها في قطاع المصايد البحرية. كما تم اختيار أحدث التطبيقات بما يسمح للقراء بوضع تقييمهم الخاص حول فوائد ومحددات استخدام هذه الأدوات في مجالات أنشطتهم. وقد تم تنظيم التطبيقات طبقا لموضوعات الاستزراع البحري كما يلي: استزراع الأسماك في الأقفاص، استزراع الأسماك الصدفية، واستزراع النباتات البحرية. كما عرضت دراسة حالة توضح كيفية استخدام البيانات التي يتم إنزالها مجانا من شبكة الإنترنت لتحديد إمكانية الاستزراع البحري. ونظرا لأن الهدف الأسمى من نظم المعلومات الجغرافية هو المساعدة في اتخاذ القرار، فقد تضمنت الوثيقة جزءا عن الأدوات المدعمة للقرار.

Book (series)Technical reportRegional Review on Status and Trends in Aquaculture Development in North America - 2010 2011
Also available in:
No results found.The aquaculture industry in North America produced 644 213 metric tonnes of product in 2008 with an estimated value of US$1 622 460. This represents an annual percentage increase over the previous decade of 1.8 percent by volume and 4.5 percent in value. The finfish industry is at the forefront of the aquaculture sector led by production of Atlantic salmon in Canada and channel catfish in the United States of America. There is potential for significant increases in North American production a nd both the Canadian and American governments have projections for expansion of their aquaculture industries. Canada estimates that by 2020 production could exceed 308 000 tonnes with farm-gate value of US$1.6 billion. The United States Department of Commerce estimates that domestic aquaculture production has the potential to increase in value from US$1 billion to more than US$3 billion by 2025. Future significant growth in the North American aquaculture industry will require policies and regula tions that protect the environment while insuring the economic viability of the sector in an increasingly competitive international arena. -
Book (series)Technical studyGeographic information systems, remote sensing and mapping for the development and management of marine aquaculture 2007The objective of this document is to illustrate the ways in which Geographic Information Systems, remote sensing and mapping can play a role in the development and management of marine aquaculture. The perspective is global. The approach is to employ example applications that have been aimed at resolving many of the important issues in marine aquaculture. The underlying purpose is to stimulate the interest of individuals in the government, industry and educational sectors of marine aquacul ture to make more effective use of these tools. A brief introduction to spatial tools and their use in the marine fisheries sector precedes the example applications. The most recent applications have been selected to be indicative of the state of the art, allowing readers to make their own assessments of the benefits and limitations of use of these tools in their own disciplines. The applications are organized issue-wise along the main streams of marine aquaculture: culture of fishes in cag es, culture of shellfishes and culture of marine plants. A case study is included that illustrates how freely downloadable data can be used to estimate marine aquaculture potential. Because the ultimate purpose of GIS is to aid decision-making, a section on decision support tools is included.

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. -
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.
