ProjectProgramme / project reportPivoting Engine Installation For Beachlanding Boats - BOBP/WP/44 1986
Also available in:
No results found.This paper describes the efforts to develop an appropriate engine installation for boats designed and developed for fishermen in India and Sri Lanka operating from surf ridden beaches. These boats have to negotiate rough surf conditions for most part of the year with breaking waves up to two metres in height. The paper details the different types of pivoting engine installations tried out with air-cooled and water-cooled engines of different makes. The problems faced, the improvements made and the conclusions derived are set out. It also includes a detailed description of an installation. The detailed drawings are available with BOBP and may be obtained on request. The work on engine installations described in this paper was carried out by the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) as part of its beachcraft development project. It began in 1980. The first trials were conducted from a beach just outside Madras and were reported in BOBP/WP/7 “T echnical Trials of Beachcraft Prototypes in India.” The original concept of the pivoting engine box was conceived by 0. Gulbrandsen (Naval Architect Consultant) who also designed the first prototype. Further development described in this paper was done by the authors, assisted by BOBP Associate Professional Officers P.A. Hemminghyth (Marine Engineer) and SO. Johansen (Naval Architect), counterpart officers S.B. Sarma (Andhra Pradesh), E. Srinivasan (Tamil Nadu) and G. Patrick (Colombo). G. Gowing (Surf Crossing Consultant) from Australia also contributed several useful ideas. Trials were carried out in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa in India and Sri Lanka. Another BOBP document of direct relevance to the subject described in this paper is BOBP/WP/45 “Further Development of Beachlanding Craft in India and Sri Lanka.” -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookDeveloping and Introducing a Beachlanding Craft on the East Coast of India - BOBP/REP/54 1993
Also available in:
No results found.This report reviews and analyzes the work of the Beachlanding Craft Development subproject of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). It briefly describes the development of these craft and their introduction on the east coast of India, analyzes their present status and discusses the results. The report was prepared by a consultant with wide experience of fisheries in the Bay of Bengal region, on the basis of documentation on the subproject, published and unpublished, as well as impressions gat hered during field visits to fishing centres in Andhra Pradesh and Orissa during August 1992. Assistance received by him in carrying out the field visits from Mr. S. B. Sarma of the Andhra Pradesh Directorate of Fisheries and information provided by fisheries officials, fishermen and boatyards are gratefully acknowledged. The development of beachlanding craft was sponsored by BOBP’s “Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Bay of Bengal” (GCP/RAS/040/SWE), a project funded by SIDA (Swed ish International Development Authority) and “Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities in the Bay of Bengal”(GCP/RAS/118/MUL), a project jointly funded by SIDA and DANIDA (Danish International Development Agency), both executed by FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). -
ProjectProgramme / project reportTechnical Trials of Beachcraft Prototypes in India - BOBP/WP/7 1980
Also available in:
No results found.This is the first report of technical trials conducted in India of four beachcraft prototypes designed for India’s east coastfisheries. The trials were held in May-June 1980 in Ennore, 20 kilometres north of Madras, under the auspices of the Bay of Bengal Programme, in cooperation with the Governments of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. The report briefly discusses the limitations of traditional craft operating on India’s surf-beaten east coast and the desirability of developing new types of craft with greater carrying capacity and productivity. It discusses the additional considerations — as regards such matters as the shape of the boat, the construction material, the systems of surf-crossing and beachianding —that must weigh in the design of surfboats. It describes in words and pictures the four prototypes tested in Ennore, the conduct of the trials and the findings they yielded. The trials covered only surf-crossing and beachlanding. Of the four prototypes, two — considered the most promising — were selected for intensive fishing trials. The report sets down the relative merits of the four prototypes. The report may serve to keep governments, development agencies and boatbuilders informed about the progress of development of beachcraft. It may also be of interest to small-scale fisheries planners in general. The prototypes were built at Aquamarine (P) Limited, Madras; Indian Seacraft, Madras, and the Andhra Pradesh Fisheries Corporation Boatyard at Kakina da. Diesel engines were supplied by Greaves Lombardini Limited, Madras.

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. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also 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.
