NewsletterNewsletterFAO Türkiye Newsletter, January 2024 – Issue #16 2024
Also available in:
In the last issue of FAOTURN 2023, we have prepared a panorama of all the activities and events we have carried out as the Türkiye office in one year. We have implemented hundreds of events and dozens of projects in three different portfolio and Regular Programmes all over Türkiye. In this issue, we have prepared an informative compilation about our partnership programs in our cover file. 2023 was a very difficult year for Türkiye. The earthquakes on 6 February, which killed more than 50 000 people, were particularly challenging for everyone. FAO has been on the ground with producers from the first moment to ensure food security and reproduction in these regions, which are also important agricultural and food production basins of Türkiye. In this issue, our efforts to empower women in the sector and protect their rights also took an important place. -
NewsletterNewsletterFAO Türkiye Newsletter, November 2023 – Issue #15 2023
Also available in:
FAO is actively leading the global fight against the escalating impacts of the climate crisis, with Türkiye hosting several projects addressing climate effects, biodiversity, and environmental concerns. Collaborating with the Global Environment Facility, seven new projects exemplify Türkiye's commitment, serving as models for both the country and Central Asia. Currently, four projects are underway through the FAO-Türkiye-GEF program, focusing on issues such as land degradation, water resources management, agro-ecological systems, and biodiversity conservation. Conceptual notes for seven projects under the new GEF 8 period are prepared, emphasizing Türkiye's strategic response to the climate crisis and dedication to global cooperation. This issue also features success stories of women in agriculture, details of earthquake programs, and highlights from the FAO Türkiye Partnership Programme. -

FAO distribution efforts have strategically targeted key locations impacted by the recent earthquakes
2023Also available in:
One of the sectors that suffered the most serious economic damage in the two major earthquakes Türkiye experienced on February 6 was the agriculture and food sector. In the earthquake zone, called the Fertile Crescent, there was a risk that producers would not be able to produce. What FAO, which rushed to help from the first moment of the earthquake, has done so far has continued to be the main topic of this issue. In addition, a project implemented in Türkiye on land degradation was presented as an example at an international meeting in Ecuador. In addition, a joint project of UN agencies was successfully finalized.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideThe Living Marine Resources of the Eastern Central Atlantic. Volume 2: Bivalves, gastropods, hagfishes, sharks, batoid fishes, and chimaeras 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This multivolume field guide covers the species of interest to fisheries of the major marine resource groups exploited in the Eastern Central Atlantic. The area of coverage includes FAO fishing area 34 and part of 47. The marine resource groups included are bivalves, gastropods, chitons, cephalopods, stomatopods, shrimps, lobsters, crabs, hagfishes, sharks, batoid fishes, chimaeras, bony fishes and sea turtles. The introductory chapter outlines the environmental, ecological, and biogeographical factors influencing the marine biota, and the basic components of the fisheries in the Eastern Central Atlantic. Within the field guide, the sections on the re source groups are arranged phylogenetically according to higher taxonomic levels such as class, order, and family. Each resource group is introduced by general re marks on the group, an illustrated section on technical terms and measurements, and a key or guide to orders or families. Each family generally has an account summarizing family diagnostic characters, bi o logical and fisheries in formation, notes on similar families occur ring in the area, a key to species, a check list of species, and a short list of relevant literature. Families that are less important to fisheries include an abbreviated family ac count and no de tailed species in formation. Species in the important families are treated in detail (arranged alphabetically by genus and species) and include the species name, frequent synonyms and names of similar speci es, an illustration, FAO common name(s), diagnostic characters, biology and fisheries in formation, notes on geo graphical distribution, and a distribution map. For less important species, abbreviated accounts are used. Generally, this includes the species name, FAO common name(s), an illustration, a distribution map, and notes on biology, fisheries, and distribution. Each volume concludes with its own index of scientific and common names. -
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.
