No results found.Fiji is a small island state, which is vulnerable to the effect of climate change, natural disasters and consequently, economic shocks As Fiji’s large rural population is highly dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods, it is crucial that the government has detailed information on the composition and structure of the agriculture sector to assist with planning and responding to these events Prior, little and irregular information is collected or disseminated to agriculture sector stakeholders, limiting the capacity to develop evidence based policies and strategies Low resource availability for follow up agriculture surveys, in addition to staff changes, has meant a loss of knowledge of the census methodology and databases, and data for monitoring progress in the agriculture sector and against the SDGs is also lacking or not always reliable As such, the government has committed to an ambitious programme of agricultural development under the Fiji 2020 Agriculture Sector Policy Agenda. -

No results found.Around one quarter of the population of Pakistan lives below the national poverty line and 3.9 percent below the international poverty line of USD 1.90/day. Approximately one tenth of the population is undernourished, 15.9 percent of households are moderately or severely food insecure, and 2.4 percent of households are severely food insecure. Pakistan is also faced by a very high level of malnutrition among children and women of reproductive age. The agriculture sector accounts for 19.3 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, with contributions from livestock (60.6 percent), crops (35.2 percent), fisheries (2.1 percent) and forestry (2.1 percent). Besides its significance to the economy, the agriculture sector is pivotal for domestic food availability and self-sufficiency. However, the sector is endangered by such natural disasters as floods, droughts, earthquakes and landslides; a recent locust outbreak was another threat to agriculture production and food security in the country.

Journal, magazine, bulletinBulletinAfrica's inland aquatic ecosystems: how they can increase food security and nutrition
Nature & Faune journal, Volume 32, Issue no.2.
2019Also available in:
This special issue which aims to enrich knowledge of the sector all over the African continent, covers the value and contributions of diverse aquatic systems to food security, nutrition and livelihoods. The editorial quantifies the significance of the potential of Africa inland fisheries for food and nutrition and goes significantly beyond food security as narrowly perceived to view it also beyond direct provision of food to include through income and employment. The core issues relevant to successful management of Africa's inland aquatic ecosystems resources include the biological realities of water insufficiency and invasion by water weeds but are also about community participation. -
