ProjectProgramme / project reportCosts and earnings in artisanal fisheries: methodology and lessons learned from case studies 1997
Also available in:
Development strategy during the 1960 and 1970s was based on the philosophy that developing countries lacked improved technology and capital for speeding up their development. Industrialization was promoted in order to capitalize on the abundant fish resources. However, the anticipated expansion of the economy did not happen and the development approach shifted towards an integrated rural strategy where emphasis is put on the community as a whole to upgrade incomes and the quality of li fe through technical assistance and the active participation of fisher folk and the community. -

Also available in:
No results found.With financial assistance from Denmark and in collaboration with the Republic of Benin, the Fisheries Department of FAO is implementing in West Africa a programme of small scale fisheries development, commonly called the IDAF Project. This programme is based upon an integrated approach involving production,processing arid marketing of fish,and related activities;it also involves an active participation of the target fishing communities.This report is a working paper and the conclusions and rec ommendations are those considered appropriate at the time of preparation. The working papers have not necessarily been cleared for publication by the government(s)concerned nor by FAO. They may be modified in the light of further knowledge gained at subsequent stages of the Project arid issued later in other series. The designations employed and the presentation of material do not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of FAO or a financing agency concerning the legal status of any co untry or territory, city or area, or concerning the determination of its frontiers or boundaries. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyTonle sap fisheries: a case study on floodplain gillnet fisheries in Siem Reap, Cambodia 2001
Also available in:
No results found.Located in the central plains of Cambodia, the Tonle Sap lake is one of the richest inland fisheries waters in the world. Linked to the Mekong river by a 100 km-long channel, the lake is flushed and swollen to more than four times its normal size by the annual monsoon flooding in the Mekong. The lake and the channel yield two-thirds of Cambodia's annual inland fisheries catch, which accounts for nearly 90 percent of the country's total fisheries production. The study describes different fisherie s habitats and assesses catches by the popular Tonle Sap fishing gear in two communes in the northwestern Siem Reap province bordering the lake.

EX-ACT VC – Guidelines
2023Also available in:
No results found.The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool for value chains (EX-ACT VC) is a quantitative multi-appraisal tool that evaluates the sustainability of agrifood value chains simultaneously along several environmental, economic, and social dimensions. It analyses greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions along an agrifood value chain, from farm gate to shelf, including GHG fluxes from processing and storage, to packaging and transportation; calculates a set of value-added indicators including gross production value, value-added, and net income; and estimates the number and nature of jobs created along the value chain. It also includes an estimation of food loss at each stage of the value chain; an assessment of gender and youth participation and an SDG tracker.The EX-ACT VC methodological guidelines aim to: 1) provide a comprehensive overview of the tool and help users assess the sustainability of agrifood value chains across environmental, economic, and social dimensions using the tool; 2) describe the various methodological concepts underlying the tool to perform a value chain assessment and calculating several indicators of sustainability; 3) illustrate the structural layout of the tool, explaining data requirements, and providing step-by-step data entry guidance to perform a value chain assessment using EX-ACT VC; 4) discuss the different indicators the tool calculates and how they can be for project and policy evaluation and design. These guidelines are intended to assist potential users of EX-ACT VC including policymakers, project managers, analysts, and researchers. -

Also available in:
No results found.The study was undertaken to serve as a basis for the international congress Save Food!, taking place from 16 to 17 May 2011, at the international packaging industry fair Interpack2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Save Food! has been co organized by Interpack2011 and FAO, aiming to raise awareness on global food losses and waste. In addition, Save Food! brings to the attention of the international packaging industry the constraints faced by the small- and medium-scale food processing industries in dev eloping countries to obtain access to adequate packaging materials which are economically feasible.
