MeetingMeeting documentAn updated overview of the swordfish catches by the Portuguese pelagic longline fishery in the Indian Ocean between 1998-2012: catch, effort, CPUE and catch-at-size 2013

No results found.The Portuguese longline fishery targeting swordfish in the Indian Ocean started in the late 1990’s, targeting mainly swordfish. A recent effort by Portuguese Marine and Atmosphere Institute (IPMA) has been made aiming the collection of historical catch data on this fishery since the late 1990’s to the present date. This working document reports an updated overview of the Portuguese swordfish fishery, including alyses on the catches, effort, catch-at-size and CPUE trends for the period 1998-2012. The trends in the swordfish catch-at-size were alyzed annually, and compared between months and regions of operation of the fishery. Nomil annual CPUEs were calculated as kg/1000 hooks, and were standardized with Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) using year, quarter, location and swordfish/blue shark ratio as explatory variables. Three different modeling approaches were used and compared, including tweedie, gamma and lognormal models, and model validation was carried out with a residual alysis. A sensitivity alysis to the influence of the ratio factor in the models was carried out. The results presented in this paper update a previous alysis on the trends of swordfish catches available from the Portuguese longline fishery operating in the Indian Ocean. -

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. -
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.

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.
