MeetingMeeting documentAn assessment of cetacean mortality in the gillnet fishery of the Northern Arabian Sea 2013
Also available in:
No results found.Gillnet is the main fishing gear being used for catching tu and other large pelagic in the Northern Arabian Sea. A large gillnet fleet is based in India, Pakistan, Iran, Oman and Somalia (IOTC, 2013). Gillnet being an indiscrimite fishing gear enmeshes not only target species but also a large number of non-target species (Tregenza and Collett, 1998; Tregenza et al., 1997) Entanglement of some threatened and protected animals including dolphins and whales in gillnets is consider to be a point of concern for fisheries scientists and magers. Gillnet being used in Pakistan, Iran and some countries have length more than 2.5 km, therefore, non-compliant to United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 46/215 and IOTC Resolution 12/12 which prohibit the use of large- scale driftnets on the high seas. These large scale gillnetting is more harmful to non target species especially cetaceans. In comparison to other countries of the area, tu fishing in Pakistan and Iran is based on large scale gillnets, therefore, as expected cetacean’s interaction with gillnet is comparatively very high in these two countries. It is estimated that more than 7,000 gillnetters are operating in these two countries. Some of the vessels in both the countries have double registration both in Iran and Pakistan.In Pakistan, about 500 vessels are dedicatedly engaged in catching tu (Moazzam, 2012) whereas in Iran about 6,500 are involved in this fishery (Naderi, 2012) -

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. -
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. -
