Book (series)Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) Deep-Sea project, part of the “Sustainable fisheries management and biodiversity conservation of deep-sea living marine resources and ecosystems in ABNJ”
Project code: GCP/GLO/366/GFF GEF ID: 4660

No results found.The marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) comprises 40 percent of the earth’s surface, it covers 64 percent of the surface of the ocean and 95 percent of its volume. The Common Oceans ABNJ Program (2014-2019) was implemented by FAO as a concerted effort to bring various stakeholders to work together to manage and conserve the world’s common oceans. The ABNJ Deep-Sea project, one component of the Common Oceans ABNJ Program, was of great assistance to newly-formed regional fisheries management organization and arrangements (RFMO/As), as well as some long-standing regional fisheries. The project showed positive results in safeguarding vulnerable marine ecosystems, strengthening monitoring, control and surveillance to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, mitigating bycatch mortality trends, and building awareness of cross-sectoral aspects in effective governance of ABNJ. Through its cooperation with RFMOs, the project has, to some extent, contributed to minimize the negative impacts of bycatch. Results achieved should be capitalized on and upscaled in a second phase. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLooking at edible insects from a food safety perspective
Challenges and opportunities for the sector
2021Also available in:
No results found.While insect consumption by humans or entomophagy has been traditionally practiced in various countries over generations and represents a common dietary component of various animal species (birds, fish, mammals), farming of insects for human food and animal feed is relatively recent. Production of this ‘mini-livestock’ brings with it several potential benefits and challenges. The objective of this document is to provide the reader with an overview of the various food safety issues that could be associated with edible insects. The intended audiences of this publication are food safety professionals, policymakers, researchers, insect producers as well as consumers. The regulatory frameworks that govern production, trade and consumption of insects in various regions are discussed. The document ends with elucidating some other major challenges, such as consumer acceptance and scaling up production, that the edible insect industry would need to overcome to have a more global reach. -
BookletManual / guideManuel de biosécurité dans les exploitations avicoles 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Le manuel de biosécurité dans les exploitations avicoles vise à apporter un soutien essentiel à la république du Togo dans son effort résolu de maîtriser et de combattre la grippe aviaire. Ce document, d'une nature à la fois technique et pratique, s'adresse principalement aux éleveurs, aux Auxiliaires Villageois d'Élevage (AVE) et aux agents d’encadrement technique des éleveurs. Il a pour objet de définir un ensemble minimal de normes en matière de biosécurité, applicables à tous les producteurs de volaille. La biosécurité, concept intrinsèquement défini comme un ensemble de bonnes pratiques mises en œuvre dans le but de prévenir l'introduction et la propagation des maladies au sein des exploitations avicoles, se révèle être le moyen de prévention et de lutte le plus efficace contre la grippe aviaire et autres maladies contagieuses. Ce manuel s'enrichisse notamment par l'incorporation d'illustrations éloquentes, mettant en lumière aussi bien les bonnes et mauvaises pratiques en matière de biosécurité au sein des exploitations avicoles.
