Book (stand-alone)Technical bookExpert consultation on statistics in support of policies to empower small farmers 2009
Also available in:
No results found.Small farmers play a key role in agricultural development in Asia and the Pacific region. Lack of adequate data on small farmers who comprise the bulk of farm households and food-insecure people in the region is a constraint to devising effective policies to empower them. This is especially true in the context of trade liberalization and globalisation and soaring food prices which have adversely affected small farmers in Asia and the Pacific. The Asia and Pacific Commission on Agricultural Sta tistics (APCAS), at its June 2008 session in Kuching, Malaysia, emphasized the need to review data collection methods and types of information collected to keep information systems attuned to data needs for early warning signals of price and market fluctuations in order to support the setting up of mitigating measures against negative impacts of rising prices. This expert consultation was therefore organized to shed light on the role of statisticians in assisting policy-makers formulate timel y corrective measures when confronted with food market crises. Experts from Australia, Bhutan, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Thailand and concerned FAO technical officers from headquarters and the regional office contributed to discussions on these issues and developed recommendations. It is hoped the summary account contained in this report will be useful to both decision-makers and information practitioners in meeting the Millennium Development Goal of halving the number of the region's malnourished by 2015.

At that time the first small volume of fishes was produced by the Marine Research Section of the then Ministry of Fisheries . Subsequently a further 3 volumes were produced, each being released on Fishermen’s Day. This day, December 10th, celebrates the vital and long-standing role of fishermen in the life of the Maldives. It is therefore a ppropriate that this combined, enlarged and revised edition should also he released on Fishermen’s Day. 1997. The previous four issues of the Catalogue each covered about 70 species, with 285 species being covered in all. This volume details a total of 370 species. Different species of one family were sometimes included in more than one edition of the earlier Catalogues. All fishes of the same family are now listed together. In addition, the order of presentation has been changed to fo llow the latest scientific findings (Nelson, 1 994). As a result the snappers and fusiliers, which had been treated as separate families in earlier editions, are here treated as a single family (Lutjanidae) with the fusiliers being relegated to subfamily status (Caesioninae). Another family for which it is useful to know the subfamilies is the enormous grouper family (Serranidae). which includes the fairy hasslets (Anthiinae). the groupers themselves (Epinephelinae, tribe Epinephelini) , and the soapfislies (tribes Diploprionini and Grammistini). Within families, species are listed alphabetically. irrespective of subfamilies. -
