Book (stand-alone)General interest bookAchieving Blue Growth. Building vibrant fisheries and aquaculture communities
Building vibrant fisheries and aquaculture communities
2018Also available in:
No results found.Fisheries and aquaculture support the livelihoods of millions of people around the world. In rural and coastal communities they often play a key role for a society’s culture and identity. As these communities know well, fish is also a healthy and nutritious food, with the potential to feed our growing planet. But as the population grows, the demand for fish increases, and our natural resources are increasingly stressed. Sustainable management and development is crucial to preserving these resources for future generations. Like the Green Economy principles that preceded it, FAO’s Blue Growth Initiative emphasizes the three pillars of sustainable development – social, economic, and environmental– so that fisheries and aquaculture contribute to the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Blue Growth Initiative is a strategic approach to improving the use of aquatic resources resulting in better social, economic and environmental outcomes. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSMALL-SCALE SEED ENTERPRISE
Start-up and Management
2007Also available in:
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) gives a particular attention to seed industry development in developing countries as part of its mission of freeing the world from hunger. Since 1982, FAO has had a continuous history of involvement in the seed sector of Afghanistan, which has resulted in the implementation of several seed projects in close partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and funding from countries including The European Union, Germany , Japan, The Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland. This handbook is developed as a guide for the much needed training required by the new small-scale seed enterprises. It focuses on developing entrepreneurial skills and attitudes among farmer groups in Afghanistan who are or will be interested in establishing private seed businesses.
