The Commission for Artisanal Fisheries and Small-Scale Aquaculture for Latin America and the Caribbean (COPPESAALC) promotes the responsible use of continental fishery resources, advises member country governments on fisheries management measures, and supports the development of aquaculture. The XIX Session of the Commission for Artisanal Fisheries and Small-Scale Aquaculture of Latin America and the Caribbean complies with the provisions of the Commission's statutes regarding the biennial convening of regular sessions. Its objectives are to report on measures implemented to agreements from the previous meeting; to collectively reflect on issues affecting the sustainability and contribution of fisheries and aquaculture to food security, rural poverty reduction, and the responsible and harmonious management of natural resources—aligned with the needs of the Commission's member countries, FAO's regional priorities, and the objectives of the UN Sustainable Development Agenda. -

The workshop discussed the constraints encountered when applying the CCRF in the Caribbean region and identified solutions that would enable stakeholders to further mainstream their policies, strategies and mana gement plans with the CCRF. The workshop focused on increasing awareness and capacity in the region on the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF), the International Plan of Action for the conservation and management of Sharks (IPOA-Sharks) and on the ongoing work on the Voluntary Guidelines on securing sustainable Small-scale fisheries. The Conclusions and Recommendations of the workshop have been endorsed formally, for the Wider Caribbean Region, by the Fourteenth Session of WECAFC, which was he ld in Panama City, Panama, 6-9 February 2012.

Book (stand-alone)FlagshipThe State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture 2007The wise management of the world’s agricultural biodiversity is becoming an ever greater challenge for the international community. The livestock sector in particular is undergoing dramatic changes as large-scale production expands in response to surging demand for meat, milk and eggs. A wide portfolio of animal genetic resources is crucial to adapting and developing our agricultural production systems. Climate change and the emergence of new and virulent animal diseases underline the need to re tain this adaptive capacity. For hundreds of millions of poor rural households, livestock remain a key asset, often meeting multiple needs, and enabling livelihoods to be built in some of the world’s harshest environments. Livestock production makes a vital contribution to food and livelihood security, and to meeting the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. It will be of increasing significance in the coming decades. And yet, genetic diversity is under threat. The reported rate of breed extinctions is of great concern, but it is even more worrying that unrecorded genetic resources are being lost before their characteristics can be studied and their potential evaluated. Strenuous efforts to understand, prioritize and protect the world’s animal genetic resources for food and agriculture are required. Sustainable patterns of utilization must be established. Traditional livestock keepers – often poor and in marginal environments – have been the stewards of much of our animal geneti c diversity. We should not ignore their role or neglect their needs. Equitable arrangements for benefit-sharing are needed, and broad access to genetic resources must be ensured. An agreed international framework for the management of these resources is crucial.

Book (series)Technical reportCoping with water scarcity
An action framework for agriculture and food security
2012This report aims to provide a conceptual framework to address food security under conditions of water scarcity in agriculture. It has been prepared by a team of FAO staff and consultants in the framework of the project `Coping with water scarcity: the role of agriculture?, and has been discussed at an Expert Consultation meeting organized in FAO, Rome in December 2009 on the same subject. It was subsequently edited and revised, taking account of discussions in the Expert Consultation and materia ls presented to the meeting. The document offers views on the conceptual framework on which FAO's water scarcity programme should be based, proposes a set of definitions associated with the concept of water scarcity, and indicates the main principles on which FAO should base its action in support to its member countries.
