Book (stand-alone)Technical studyFAO-Thiaroye processing technique: towards adopting improved fish smoking systems in the context of benefits, trade-offs and policy implications from selected developing countries 2019
Also available in:
No results found.More than 60 percent of global production of smoked fishery products occurs in Africa and Asia, highlighting their tremendous significance in food and nutrition security and as a vehicle for livelihood support in these regions. However, prevailing processing technologies entail significant deleterious health implications for both processors and consumers. The main hazard relates to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are known to have carcinogenic potential. In response to the PAH challenge and leveraging on the Codex Alimentarius Code of Practice guidelines for preventing their occurrence in smoked and dried products, the FAO-Thiaroye fish processing technique (FTT) was developed under a collaborative research approach between FAO and a fisheries institution in Senegal. To date, the FTT has been introduced in 16 countries. The technique addresses the PAH problem, and yields products that comply with international limits on the hazard, while fostering many social, economic and environmental benefits. However, experience from some African and Asian countries points to the need for a context-driven balance that ensures that the gains associated with its use can be realized without making expensive compromises, especially in terms of fisheries resources status and trade dynamics. Policy and regulatory frameworks need to be informed by a risk-based approach and supportive of consistent benchmarking and differentiation of FTT products. This document reviews the lessons from those countries, and makes the case for a hard, evidence-based, policy backbone to safeguard the sustainable, eco-friendly supply of safe smoked (and dried) fishery products to support food security, particularly in the developing world. -

Book (series)FAO journal恢复地球—未来十年
Unasylva 252 - 2020年1月第71卷
2022本期Unasylva杂志旨在展示森林景观恢复(FLR)的机会和进展,这些机会和进展能扩大恢复的规模,以实现"波恩挑战"及其他国家和国际承诺(可持续发展目标(SDGs),《生物多样性公约》(CBD)2020年后议程、《联合国防治荒漠化公约》(UNCCD)土地退化零增长、《联合国气候变化框架公约》(UNFCCC)下的《巴黎协定》),并满足2021-2030年联合国生态系统恢复十年的需求。 杂志涉及与各受众相关的主题:i) 与所谓的 "一切照旧 "做法不同的旗舰恢复倡议,这些旗舰倡议能输送更多的资金,更好地赋予当地利益相关者权力,并通过合作伙伴联盟提供更多的技术援助;ii) 可以扩展森林景观恢复的技术进步,由于不同的原因(低成本、适应性、与许多生态系统和环境的相关性、易于实施等),这些技术进步很有可能成为主流。iii) 利于恢复的因素,即协调、政策环境、资源、知识和能力,这些因素都为在当地采取行动创造了有利条件。 -

Book (series)Flagship2022年世界渔业和水产养殖状况
努力实现蓝色转型
20222022年版《世界渔业和水产养殖状况》的发布适逢联合国实现全球目标行动十年、联合国海洋科学促进可持续发展十年和联合国生态系统恢复十年的启动。本报告介绍了如何通过蓝色转型整合和支持这些活动及其他具有同等重要性的联合国活动,如2022国际手工渔业和水产养殖年。蓝色转型是新版联合国粮农组织《2022–2031年战略框架》的一个重点领域,旨在加快实现《2030年可持续发展议程》在粮食和农业领域的目标。蓝色转型的概念产生于2021年2月召开的粮农组织渔业委员会(渔委)第三十四届会议,特别是经粮农组织所有成员商定和批准的《可持续渔业和水产养殖宣言》。该《宣言》呼吁支持“21世纪渔业和水产养殖不断变化的积极愿景,使该部门对消除贫困、饥饿和营养不良的贡献得到充分认可”。在此背景下,此版《世界渔业和水产养殖状况》的第1部分回顾了全世界渔业和水产养殖的状况,而第2部分和第3部分则专门讨论蓝色转型及其关于水产养殖的集约化和扩大、改进渔业管理、创新渔业和水产养殖价值链的支柱。蓝色转型强调需要在未来几年启动或加快前瞻性的果敢行动,以实现《宣言》的目标并支持《2030年可持续发展议程》。第4部分涉及当前影响较大的新问题(新冠疫情、气候变化和性别平等),这些问题要求充分考虑转型步骤和预备措施,以确保可持续、高效和公平的渔业和水产养殖。
