BookletTechnical reportHow does the Dairy Modernization and Market Access (DiMMA) programme in Georgia contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and food security? 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Dairy Modernization and Market Access (DiMMA) programme in Georgia aims to improve the productivity of smallholder dairy farming systems through better nutrition and feeding, veterinary care leading to better animal health, and breed improvements. In addition, it aims to strengthen the resilience of farmers to cope with the adverse effects of climate change via improved pasture management practices, capacity development measures, and facilitating stakeholder engagement and policy dialogues. The aim of this study is to report the impact of DiMMA programme on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for both total emissions and emissions intensity (i.e. emissions produced per unit of product), food security (shown in protein production) and resource use (shown in feed intake) for two scenarios: without project (WOP) representing the case without any improvements to herd, feed and manure parameters; and with project (WP) representing the situation with project improvements on herd structure, feeding and manure management over the project timeline. The scenarios with which the impact of WP were evaluated cover a combination of interventions including improved breeding via artificial insemination (AI), improved feeding and nutrition via pasture improvement, training and value chain improvements, and improved manure management via trainings and value chain improvements. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookOptions for low emission development in the Bangladesh dairy sector 2017
Also available in:
No results found.This publication is intended to contribute to the implementation of the livestock and climate change development agenda. The study evaluates the potential for improving productivity while reducing enteric methane emission intensity from dairy production systems in Bangladesh. The overall objective of this study is to support Bangladesh in identifying low-cost strategies to reduce enteric CH4 emissions while contributing to Bangladesh’s short-and long-term social and economic development and incr easing resilience to climate change. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical book(Draft) Methodology for Quantification of GHG Emission Reductions from Improved Management in Smallholder Dairy Production Systems using a Standardized Baseline 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This methodology presents requirements for development and assessment of a standardized baseline for quantification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions in smallholder dairy systems. It also includes guidance for quantification of baseline GHG emissions from dairy production in a defined geographical area within a country, for quantification of with-project GHG emissions, leakage, and net emission reductions due to project implementation. The general approach outlined in the methodology i s based on the following key elements. A standardized baseline for the project region is set on the basis of a baseline survey, which establishes a statistically robust relationship between milk yields and the GHG intensity of milk production measured as kg CO2 eq. per kg fat and protein corrected milk (FPCM).

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018 (SOFIA)
Meeting the sustainable development goals
2018The 2018 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture emphasizes the sector’s role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and measurement of progress towards these goals. It notes the particular contributions of inland and small-scale fisheries, and highlights the importance of rights-based governance for equitable and inclusive development. As in past editions, the publication begins with a global analysis of trends in fisheries and aquaculture production, stocks, processing and use, trade and consumption, based on the latest official statistics, along with a review of the status of the world’s fishing fleets and human engagement and governance in the sector. Topics explored in Parts 2 to 4 include aquatic biodiversity; the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture; climate change impacts and responses; the sector’s contribution to food security and human nutrition; and issues related to international trade, consumer protection and sustainable value chains. Global developments in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, selected ocean pollution concerns and FAO’s efforts to improve capture fishery data are also discussed. The issue concludes with the outlook for the sector, including projections to 2030. As always, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience, including policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture - 2016 (SOFIA)
Contributing to food security and nutrition for all
2016This issue of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date data and information to a wide range of readers – policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. As always, the scope is global and the topics many and varied. This edition uses the latest official statistics on fisheries and aquaculture to present a global analysis of trends in fish stocks, production, p rocessing, utilization, trade and consumption. It also reports on the status of the world’s fishing fleets and analyses the make-up of human engagement in the sector.
