Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetSMS Gateway: Improving animal health through ICTs 2017
Also available in:
No results found.This information fact sheet sets out to show how an SMS Gateway system developed by FAO has been used to improve rural communication, support animal disease crisis management and contribute to livelihood resilience for small-scale farmers. Focusing on the case study of avian influenza in Bangladesh, the information factsheet explores how the SMS alert system has bolstered disease prevention, surveillance and reporting among poultry farmers. This resilienceinformation factsheet is designed for pr actitioners who are interested in using an SMS Gateway system, or other cellular or web-based technologies, to improve reporting of animal disease outbreaks and exchange other types of information. It is expected to be of particular interest to farmers and producers’ organizations, animal health workers, government ministry officials and institutions involved in carrying out or supporting development projects. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetImproved livelihoods through fish farming in blocked peatland drainage canals 2023
Also available in:
No results found.This brief summarizes a pilot aquaculture practice promoted by Tanjungpura University and financed by the Ministry of Research and Technology. The practice introduced fish farming within a pilot drainage canal in collaboration with the landowner. For now considered an “Innovation, experience”, if scaled-up, this practice could encourage local settlers to maintain high levels of groundwater level, having a big potential to benefit the surrounding peatland landscape. However, important recommendations are provided in the brief to guarantee the sustainability of the practice if scaled-up. For example, the FAO highly recommends farming only native species and the domestication of native fish on peatlands could avoid overfishing for fish seeds. Careful waste management and regular water quality monitoring, including closing the connection of the practice area to connected water bodies, are mandatory to ensure no reversal effect caused by the practice on the sustainability of the management and biodiversity of peatlands. Also, an economic breakdown and carbon balance analysis will be crucial to determine the feasibility of the practice.
