Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureSave the Date - RESULT Asia-Pacific Restoring and Sustaining Landscapes Together. Launch and Investment Forum
Bangkok, Thailand, 11-12 December 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.Asia and the Pacific, home to 4.3 billion people, is undergoing rapid economic growth with rising demand for food and natural resources. An estimated 500+ million hectares (~23%) of the region's land and resource base are degraded (Minnemayer et al.). These degraded landscapes yield reduced ecosystem services, food security, livelihood opportunities, and climate resilience.
In 2017, the Asia Pacific Forestry Commission (APFC) endorsed an Asia-Pacific Regional Strategy and Action Plan (RSAP) for FLR. While many countries have set restoration targets aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Rio Conventions, and other international commitments, current efforts remain insufficient to address the scale of degradation or meet national and global aspirations related to sustainable development, food security, health, biodiversity, and climate change.
This Regional Programmatic Framework for FLR supports to advance the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-30 in Asia Pacific in line with the strategic priorities of the RSAP. It aims scaled-up high-quality FLR on the ground through a common overarching vision, innovative partnerships and financing, context based multi-disciplinary approaches, and a joint monitoring protocol. RESULT Asia-Pacific aims to realize a consolidated regional restoration target of at least 100 million hectares of degraded forests, forestland, agriculture, urban and other lands across Asia and the Pacific by 2030.

No results found.The ARRSP will help to achieve the long-term objective of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) within the World Bank’s Country Assistance Strategy (CAS). The project’s objective is to increase agricultural productivity and improve marketing of crops and animal products by smallholder farmers in targeted areas. Project activities will contribute to this objective by providing seed, planting materials and advisory services, improving rice production, ani mal production capacity and marketing infrastructure and supporting the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Rural Development in the DRC.

MeetingMeeting documentRegional consultation promoting responsible production and use of feed and feed ingredients for sustainable growth of aquaculture in Asia-Pacific. Thirty-fifth session of the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC)
Cebu, the Philippines, 11-13 May 2018
2018Also available in:
No results found.Asia-Pacific accounts for more than 90% of the world aquaculture output (FAO, 2016) and the region will have to responsible for sustaining the supply of food fish to increasing population. Feed input in aquaculture represents the major production cost and the most important factor affecting farming profitability and ecological efficiency. Issues and challenges have been rising with the questionable use of fish meal and fish oil, mounting pressure on and competition for ingredient supply, increasing feed costs, variation of feed quality and availability, and feed ingredient related food safety concerns. The region needs to adjust the development strategies and devote more efforts in research, development and capacity building for sustainable production and use of aquaculture feeds. A -
Book (series)Technical studyBy-products of tuna processing 2013
Also available in:
No results found.The global catch of the principal tuna market species (albacore, bigeye, bluefin (three species), skipjack and yellowfin) in 2010 was 4.3 million tonnes and they contributed to about 8 percent of global fish exports. Tuna is mainly marketed in fresh, chilled, frozen or canned form. However, the tuna loin and canning industry generates a considerable amount of by-products and the practice of utilization of these by-products varies in different geographical regions. In this publication, there are case studies of utilization from Asia, Europe and Latin America. Thailand is one of the largest producers of canned tuna and the by-products are mainly utilized as tuna meal, tuna oil and tuna soluble concentrate. In the Philippines, most of the canning industry by-products are converted to tuna meal, but black meat is also canned and exported to neighboring countries. Edible tuna by-products from the fresh/chilled tuna sector, like heads and fins, are used for making soup locally and visceral o rgans are utilized to make a local delicacy or for fish sauce production. Scrape meat and trimmings are also used for human consumption. In Spain and Ecuador, by-products go to the fish and oil industry and the increasing demand for these commodities, due to the growth of the aquaculture industry, drives the fishmeal and fish oil industry. However, since these are used mainly as animal feeds, they indirectly contribute to food production. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAppropriate food packaging solutions for developing countries 2014The study was undertaken to serve as a basis for the international congress Save Food!, taking place from 16 to 17 May 2011, at the international packaging industry fair Interpack2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Save Food! has been co organized by Interpack2011 and FAO, aiming to raise awareness on global food losses and waste. In addition, Save Food! brings to the attention of the international packaging industry the constraints faced by the small- and medium-scale food processing industries in dev eloping countries to obtain access to adequate packaging materials which are economically feasible. This revised edition, dated 2014, contains a new section on investment opportunities in developing countries (paragraph 3.7).
