Asian farming households make up nearly one-third of the world's population and most of them are small farmers who combine cropping with livestock raising to spread their risks. The region is home to more than 1300 livestock species, accounting for about 30 percent of the wo rld's known breeds. APHCA was set up as an inter-governmental organization to promote livestock development in the region in ways that will increase food security and living standards of small farmers and rural communities.

Book (series)Technical studyWorld Surimi Market 2007
Also available in:
No results found.Surimi industrial technology developed by Japan in the early 1960s promoted the growth of the surimi industry. The successful growth of the industry was based on the Alaska pollock and walleye pollock. Subsequently, production of Alaska pollock surimi declined and was supplemented by surimi production using species other than Alaska pollock. Currently, 2-3 million metric tonnes of fish from around the world, amounting to 2-3 percent of the world fisheries supply, are used for the production of s urimi and surimi-based products. Given the diversity of available information, significant uncertainty remains about global output of surimi and surimi-based products. However this study attempts to fill the gaps in information and to propose an estimate of output. Overall, it aims to provide an up-to-date and general overview rather than a detailed rundown on all aspects of the global surimi sector. It provides a general description of the production and trade of both surimi and surimi-based pr oducts by the main producer countries, as well as the main companies within each producer country. It summarizes current and future developments in the industry. The potential global growth for surimi and surimi products in huge! -
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. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe Seafood Market in Italy 2008
Also available in:
No results found.Fish consumption in Italy grew from 11.8 kg/pc in 1961 to 25.1 kg/pc in 2003. The main group of products purchased by Italian families is fresh seafood, with 50 percent of purchases, followed by frozen seafood (23 percent) and canned seafood (20 percent). Due to the increasing consumption and declining domestic supply, Italy is a net importer of seafood. Italian seafood imports increased from 353 300 tonnes in 1976 to 970 100 tonnes in 2006, molluscs being the main commodity imported and Spain b eing the main country of origin. Like in many other developed countries, the seafood processing sector in Italy is gradually being restricted to the niche of quality preparations.
