Book (stand-alone)Global science–policy interfaces related to agrifood systems: a desktop review of structures and common patterns 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This background paper to the guidance that FAO is developing on strengthening science–policy interfaces (SPIs) for agrifood systems at the national level sets provides information about the structures and patterns common to global SPIs. It aims to: 1) provide a broad overview and comparison of how international SPIs work, 2) identify a set of categories that are relevant to the work of SPIs, 3) present a systematic, comparative analysis based on publicly available data, 4) draw preliminary conclusions based on findings, and 5) suggest further avenues for study. The conceptual framework identifies three key components of SPIs that, operating together, have the potential to anticipate and respond to needs and demands for both policy and science. Governance comprises the formal and informal rules and procedures for operation and integration among the numerous actors at the interface of science and policy. Co-production specifies the mechanisms by which diverse stakeholders and knowledge types are integrated and recognized in SPI activities. Learning represents the intention and capacity of the SPI to gain insights from what works and what does not work as it carries out its tasks. The findings show that across SPIs, patterning of the three components varies. -
BookletSynthesis of literature review of the quality of water resources impacted by the agricultural sector

2022Also available in:
No results found.The condition of the water, including its chemical, physical and biological characteristics, defines water quality, which could be affected by excess inputs of chemicals or microorganisms such as nutrients, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, microplastics and pathogens. Deteriorating water quality is a global challenge. Pollution of water bodies is not only a serious risk to ecosystem health and biodiversity, but also to human health and economic development, such as food, aquaculture and energy production. -

The workshop was prepared and coordinated by the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Division with the support of the FAO representation in the Philippines.The main objectives of the workshop were to (i) enhance understanding of aquaculture co-management; (ii) identify key aquaculture co-management best practices, models and case studies; and (iii) undertake a thorough review and validation of the background document Guidebook for developing aquaculture co-management systems. During the workshop, participants were presented with the proposed content of the background document that was shared ahead of the event. They were then invited to discuss the content, validate it and provide input on a revised text. The expert input will be taken forward into the final draft of the Guidebook.
