Book (series)Technical studyHistorical trends of tuna catches in the world 2004
Also available in:
No results found.This paper reviews historical trends of the catches of the major commercial species (albacore, bigeye, bluefin, skipjack, and yellowfin) of tunas. The total world catch of these species has increased during the last 50 years (from 0.4 to 3.9 million MT), but the pattern of increase has varied among species, oceans and fishing gears. The causes of those variations are analyzed in this paper. In the world catch, the Pacific Ocean has been predominant throughout. In recent years catches from of the Indian Ocean have exceeded those of the Atlantic. Skipjack and yellowfin catches have shown a rapid increase. Bigeye catches also showed a constant increase, but at a lower level. The catches of albacore, bluefin and southern bluefin tunas have been stable or have decreased in recent years. The baitboat fishery took the greatest proportion of the total catches during the 1950s. However, the catch of the purse-seine fishery, became significant in the late 1950s, and became dominant by 1990. Lon gline catches started picking up in the late 1950s, increased until the 1990s and thereafter declined. -

23 and 24 November 2016 Loka Penelitian Perikanan Tuna Bali, Indonesia
2016Also available in:
No results found.Aims of the workshop The broad outcome of the National Awareness Workshop is that the use of best practice seabird bycatch mitigation measures is enhanced and accelerated by fleets operating in critical fishing areas of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (Project Output 3.2.1a). The workshop aims to build the capacity of the national observer programme and industry representatives from Indonesia through a 2 day training on Effective Seabird Conservation in Tuna Fisheries.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAnalyse des pertes alimentaires: causes et solutions
Études de cas sur le sorgho, le maïs, le niébé au Burkina Faso
2019Also available in:
No results found.Deux études ont été conduites au Burkina Faso pour une analyse approfondie des pertes après-récolte et de leurs causes le long des chaînes d’approvisionnement (CA) du sorgho, du maïs et du niébé. La première étude sur le terrain des pertes après-récolte a été conduite entre les mois d’octobre 2015 et d’avril 2016 dans trois régions du pays. Deux chaînes d’approvisionnement ont été sélectionnées par région: celle du commerce classique de céréales, et celle organisée autour des organisations faitières de producteurs. La réplication de cette étude s’est déroulée entre les mois de novembre 2016 et d’avril 2017 et a concerné les chaînes d’approvisionnement organisées autour de l’UGCPA dans la Boucle du Mouhoun pour le sorgho, de l’UPPA/Houet dans les Hauts Bassins pour le maïs, et de l’AFDR dans le Nord pour le niébé. L’objectif de l’étude est d’estimer les pertes qualitatives et quantitatives le long des chaînes d’approvisionnement du sorgho, du maïs et du niébé, de mettre en évidence les points critiques de pertes et d’identifier les principales causes des pertes. De plus, il s’agit d’identifier les solutions appropriées, réalisables et durables, les meilleures pratiques et les stratégies de réduction des pertes après-récolte. La réplication de la première étude vise à comparer les résultats obtenus sur deux années consécutives, à compléter les informations qui n’ont pas pu être collectées au cours de la première étude, et à essayer de mieux comprendre les différences éventuelles et les causes (occasionnelles et structurelles).
