Also available in:
The International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA) 2022 was a unique opportunity for collaboration, both large and small, to focus on the particular needs of small-scale fisheries and aquaculture in Africa. The challenges and solutions related artisanal fisheries and aquaculture in Africa were raised throughout the International Year, particularly at country and regional events across the continent. The message is clear: the role of fishers, fish-farmers and fish-workers is central as custodians of aquatic resources for all. Artisanal fisheries and aquaculture may be small in scale but they are big in value. This publication is a bookend to the International Year’s observance in Africa, as well as a starting point for future collaboration for and with Africa’s fishing communities. With an introduction by the FAO Assistant Director-General and Regional Representative for Africa, Abebe Haile-Gabriel, this publication sets out a timeline of major events for IYAFA in Africa, showcases examples of FAO’s fisheries and aquaculture projects in Africa, and shares recommendations to support artisanal fisheries and aquaculture in Africa into the future.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
