Book (stand-alone)Technical bookOntology-based navigation of bibliographic metadata: example of the Food, Nutrition and Agriculture Journal 2007
Also available in:
No results found.This paper describes the work done within the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on providing an ontology-based navigation to the Food, Nutrition and Agriculture (FNA) Journal. The aim of the revised navigation was to provide more efficient and effective browsing of the Food and Nutrition Publications using a knowledge model to guide the user with concepts and relationships relevant to a specific subject area. With this approach, data from two different bibliographica l databases were reused, by merging and unifying them and make them better accessible to users. A preliminary metadata merge was needed to combine all the information into one system in order to produce a metadata-ontology. Resource Description Framework Schema (RDFS) has been chosen to exploit semantic relationships e.g. the possibilities of browsing the data in different ways (by keywords, categories, authors, etc.), and the creation of a multilingual concept-based advanced search. -
Book (series)Technical studyIntégration agriculture-aquaculture. Principes de base et exemples. 2003Ce document est une version corrigée et légèrement révisée d’un dossier d’informations technologiques précédemment publié sur l’intégration agriculture–aquaculture. Il contient 38 articles en sept sections comprenant des considérations socioculturelles, économiques et environnementales relatives à l’introduction des techniques IAA, des vues d’ensemble et plusieurs exemples de systèmes de culture intégrée, y compris l’intégration élevage de bétail–poisson et l’intégration riz–poisson, ainsi qu’un e sélection d’aspects relatifs à l’alimentation et la gestion des poissons, et à la reproduction des poissons et l’alevinage en IAA. Le but de cette publication est de donner aux décideurs des organisations gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, ainsi que d’autres organisations engagées dans l’agriculture et le développement rural, une vue d’ensemble et une base pour comprendre les principes du système IAA et les aider ainsi à décider s’ils souhaitent s’engager dans de telles activités et les inclure dans leurs programmes. Pour ceux qui travaillent directement avec les agriculteurs, cette publication vise à fournir de bons exemples du système IAA, mais elle n’est pas conçue comme une compilation de procédures à suivre à la lettre. Elle devrait plutôt contribuer à convaincre les lecteurs/usagers que les agriculteurs peuvent effectivement améliorer leurs conditions de vie, soit en introduisant des systèmes IAA, soit en les développant davantage ou en améliorant les nombreuses possibil ités d’IAA dans leurs fermes actuelles.

Working together to reduce abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear
2024In 2021, the GFCM adopted Resolution GFCM/44/2021/14 on abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear, also known as ghost gear. Ghost gear transcends borders and poses environmental and economic risks, including navigational hazards, harm to marine life, and the introduction of non-indigenous species into the marine food web. This factsheet aims at promoting clarity by providing definitions, noting key regulatory aspects and providing context on the phenomenom. Properly addressing this topic will help mitigate wildlife entanglement, protect marine habitats, promote sustainable fisheries management, introduce economic benefits, reduce plastic pollution, and enhance navigation safety.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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.
