No results found.Marine finfish netcage culture is practiced throughout the Asian region, however some countries have not yet fully mastered the technique. In some countries there are some technological gaps in the existing practices. Seafarming of marine fish species in increasing in importance due to several factors which include the high market demand and the availability of a vast area that can be exploited. Consequently the interest in marine finfish culture is rapidly growing throughout the region. In re cognition of the need of countries to develop their marine finfish netcage culture industries, a regional marine finfish netcage training course was organized in Singapore. The course, held in Singapore on 4–24 September 1988, was sponsored by the FAO/UNDP Regional Seafarming Development and Demonstration Project (RAS/86/024) and organized by the Primary Production Department. Twenty-five participants were trained from eight countries in the region, namely China, DPRK, Indonesia, ROK, Malaysia , Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Eleven of the participants were sponsored by the Seafarming Project; nine by the ASEAN Regional Small-Scale Fisheries Development Project (RAS/84/014); one by the Indonesian Seafarming Development Project (INS/81/008); and four from the private sector in Singapore. The main objective of this course was to teach the participants techniques for successful netcage construction and culture of marine finfish species. The lecture topics and laboratories were on the principles and construction of netcages, operation and maintenance of netcages, principles of site selection, species selection, seed production and supply, fish nutrition, feeds, fish diseases and sanitation. -

No results found.Among the Asian countries, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand are all producers of oysters. The status of oyster culture in each of these countries varies considerably although most of them share the same rich pool of suitable species and environments for seafarming. Among these countries oyster culture is more developed in China, Philippines and Thailand, while still at an early stage of development in Indonesia and Malaysia. In 1985 the production of oyster in the above cou ntries totalled some 75,868 MT (Fig. 1). This value represents over 2.6 % of the world's production of molluses in 1985, which was 2.80 million MT (FAO, 1987). Taking the Asian region, as defined by FAO, this was 3.6 % of the region's mollusc production which was 2.09 million MT. Compared to the total production output of the same countries in 1983, which amounted to 56,821 MT, there was a 15.5 % increase in production in 1984 and about 25.1 % in 1985. The production of oysters by each of the As ian countries for the period 1980–1986 is shown in Table 1. Most species of oysters under cultivation belong to the genus Crassostrea. The species cultured among the above countries are shown in Table 2. One significant trend in shellfish mariculture in the region has been the establishment of bivalve hatcheries of varying sizes to meet the growing requirement for oyster seed. Since the early 1980's, pilot hatcheries have been set up in Thailand (Prachuab Khiri Khan Brackishwater Fisheries S tation), Malaysia (Bivalve Hatchery Project of the Universiti Sains Malaysia), and in the Philippines (Aquaculture Department of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Centre or SEAFDEC, and at the Mariculture Centre of the Philippine Human Resources Development Centre, PHRDC). Although these hatcheries have been in operation for several years, oyster seed production is still minimal.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -

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.
