No Thumbnail AvailableProjectDevelopment of Marine and Inland Aquaculture, Greece. Draft National Aquaculture Plan 1988
Also available in:
No results found.The Government of Greece has recently recognized the possibility of maintaining, and perhaps increasing the level of fish production, and reducing reliance on imports, through the promotion of aquaculture. Project GRE/85/002 produced a series of sectorial studies reviewing the industry and, after extensive discussions with national authorities, prepared a draft National Aquaculture Plan, which is presented in this report. This short narrative document gives a synoptic overview of the current s ituation in the country, analyses possible future developments, describes priorities for action and states the Government's intention to establish coordination mechanisms to promote aquaculture development. One of the functions of the draft National Aquaculture Plan is to serve as a basis for further discussions between government and private sector bodies and individuals: for this reason, the plan proposes a framework for coordinating public and private sector activities in aquaculture in Greec e. The Food and Agriculture Organization is greatly indebted to all those who assisted in the implementation of the project by providing information, advice and facilities -
Book (stand-alone)Assessment of the integration of fisheries and aquaculture in policy development
Framework and application in Africa
2020Also available in:
No results found.This document was prepared within the framework of the FAO’s Strategic Objective 1 (SO1): Help eliminate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition. This document served as a background paper to present the status of policy mainstreaming and policy research for the improvement of policy development in aquaculture in support of food security, nutrition and poverty eradication. The document was presented in various African fora and received the validation of the stakeholders for its publication as part of policy research. Specifically, the paper was presented and included the inputs from the Consultative Meeting on Aquaculture Policy Development in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 3 to 4 December 2018, 37th SADC Fisheries and Aquaculture technical meeting in Windhoek and the Consultative meeting on “improving policy development in aquaculture in support of food security, nutrition and poverty eradication” held in Kigali, Rwanda, from 10 to 14 June 2019. This research report includes recommendations by the stakholders to guide the mainstreaming of fisheries and aquaculture within wider policy frameworks, for the formulation and implementation of technical programmes for enhanced food security and nutrition at country and regional level in Africa. -
Book (series)Global aquaculture outlook in the next decades: an analysis of national aquaculture production forecasts to 2030 2004
Also available in:
Aquaculture production is expected to play a crucial role in forthcoming decades in compensating for stagnant capture fisheries and in meeting increased demand for aquatic products. Designed to ascertain the compatibility of national aquaculture production forecasts with the global prevision of the sector's growth to 2020 and beyond, the report attempts to answer three questions: 1) Do individual countries have the ambition to expand their aquaculture sector to meet global demand forecasts, an d are their projections realistic, 2) Is the “sum” of national production forecasts compatible with global projections of anticipated requirements from the aquaculture sector? 3) What planning lessons can be learnt from examining individual country plans, and how could the process of aquaculture planning be improved? Three global forecasts (Delgado, et al., 2003; Wijkstrom, 2003; Ye, 1999) were used as a benchmark against which countries’ ambitions were assessed through an analysis of t he contents of their national aquaculture development plans. Results showed that the countries studied do wish to expand their aquaculture output and, with some exceptions, their assumptions were realistic as most governments appeared to endorse the sector’s growth. Aggregation quantitative production targets from the national plans indicated that global forecasts may have underestimated the future supply of fish food coming from aquaculture. The future expansion of Chinese aquaculture remain s critical but using a modest 2 per cent annual growth rate and without increases in food fish output from capture fisheries, results suggested that most of the demand projections for fish would be met in three forthcoming decades. Thus, aggregated country productions from aquaculture are expected to grow at an average annual growth rate of 4.5 per cent over the period 2010-2030. In terms of planning, appraisal of plans and strategies revealed a generally weak planning process as methodologies a nd procedures tended to be sketchily reported. A planning framework with issues to address is suggested with the back-up of a consensus-building technique such as the Delphi method to improve the quality of future plans and enable an evaluation of their likelihood of success, as transparency, legitimacy and agreement are key to the success of a plan.
