Book (stand-alone)GuidelineReport of the FAO/CRFM/WECAFC Caribbean Regional Consultation on the Development of International Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries, Kingston, Jamaica, 6 - 8 December 2012 2013
Also available in:
No results found.In 2011 the FAO Committee on Fisheries recommended the development of international guidelines for small - scale fisheries. As part of its strategic development process, the FAO Secretariat engaged in an extensive consultative process with governments, regional organizations, civil society organizations, and small - scale fishers, fish workers and their communities. In this context, the FAO, the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) and the Western and Central Atlantic Fisheries Commissi on (WECAFC) jointly convened the Caribbean Regional Consultation on the Development of International Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in Kingston, Jamaica, on 6 - 8 December 2012. The workshop brought together more than 60 experts from government, regional organizations, civil society and academia to further discuss the structure, overall considerations and thematic coverage of the future SSF Guidelines and to consolidate ideas put forth in other regional and national co nsultations. Advice was given concerning next steps and additional activities in the guidelines development process. The workshop confirmed the existence of a number of relevant regional initiatives which support the harmonization of national policies, including fisheries policies. Recognizing the particular situation of small island developing countries participants stressed the need to build on these institutions and mechanisms for the future implementation of the SSF Guidelines. The SSF Guide lines should be a set of ideals to empower the sector and it will be important to create awareness of the potential of small-scale fisheries - if these are to be supported and not marginalized - and to build political will at all levels. The workshop agreed that the SSF Guidelines can become a powerful tool in achieving sustainable governance and development of the sector. Support for their implementation will be important, requiring concerted efforts and organizational development and strengthe ning of capacities at all levels. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
Book (stand-alone)GuidelineVoluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security 2012The guidelines are the first comprehensive, global instrument on tenure and its administration to be prepared through intergovernmental negotiations. The guidelines set out principles and internationally accepted standards of responsible practices for the use and control of land, fisheries and forests. They provide guidance for improving the policy, legal and organizational frameworks that regulate tenure rights; for enhancing the transparency and administration of tenure systems; and for strengthening the capacities and operations of public bodies, private sector enterprises, civil society organizations and people concerned with tenure and its governance. The guidelines place the governance of tenure within the context of national food security, and are intended to contribute to the progressive realization of the right to adequate food, poverty eradication, environmental protection and sustainable social and economic development.
