Synopsis (short abstract) The Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia and the Pacific Region (NACA) was established under the auspices of UNDP/FAO with the specific function to develop and organize training courses for developing a core group of senior aquaculturists needed for planning and implementing aquaculture research and development programmes in the countries of the region. NACA has four regional lead centres in Asia, namely: China, India, Thailand and the Philippines. The Aquaculture Department of Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) in Tigbauan, Iloilo, Philippines has been identified as the lead centre for NACA in the Philippines (RLCP) which also serves as the headquarters for training of senior aquaculturists of the region. RLCP began its operation in October, 1980 and the first training session for senior aquaculturists began on 6 April 1981 and was completed on 31 March 1982. On the completion of the one year training course the participants who satisfied all examinations and o ther requirements of the programme were awarded a diploma in Aquaculture jointly by NACA and the SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department. Besides, under the Memorandum of Agreement between NACA and the University of the Philippines in the Visayas signed on 23 April 1981, the course participants of NACA can enroll as post-graduate students of the University and the registered students who passed the training course and the comprehensive examination organized by UPV were awarded a Master's degree in Aquacu lture by the University of the Philippines in the Visayas.

Emissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021

Also available in:

No results found.

The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.

The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
