ProjectFactsheetMejorar la gobernanza del sector pesquero y acuícola para la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional en El Salvador - TCP/ELS/3703 2020
Also available in:
No results found.El Salvador es el país más densamente poblado de Centroamérica y aunque solamente cuenta con una línea de costa de 321 km, tiene una zona económica exclusiva de más de 90 000 km cuadrados Es el país con más pescadores en relación con el área de su zona costera, y los recursos acuáticos, marinos y continentales son intensamente explotados y juegan un papel importante en la economía nacional y local, siendo imprescindibles para la Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional ( de la población La actividad pesquera genera 34 919 puestos de trabajo en el país El problema que se plantea, y por el que se ha llevado a cabo este proyecto, es que la franja costera ha sido sobreexplotada intensamente, sin control y sin la implementación adecuada de planes de ordenamiento debido al bajo conocimiento y a la falta de organización de las/los pescadores, generando una baja rentabilidad, pocas inversiones en tecnología, innovación e investigación y desarrollo A todo ello hay que sumar los fenómenos climáticos experimentados en la Región El objetivo del presente proyecto era fortalecer la capacidad técnica de los funcionarios técnicos y operativos del Centro de Desarrollo de la Pesca y Acuicultura ( para gestionar de manera más efectiva los recursos pesqueros. -

ProjectFactsheetManejo y gobernanza de áreas protegidas fortaleciendo capacidades de pescadores y trabajadores hondureños en el sector pesquero - UNFA/HON/047/UND 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Las pesquerías son un recurso muy valioso en Honduras. Generan divisas, empleos, contribuyen con las aportaciones totales del sector pesquero y acuícola del país. Además, representan una contribución a la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, al empleo rural y en general, al alivio a la pobreza en Honduras, particularmente en zonas aledañas a ecosistemas costeros. Es por esto que el proyecto tiene como objetivo contribuir a mejorar la eficacia en el manejo de las áreas protegidas nuevas, existentes y, al mismo tiempo, ofrecer mayor cobertura de áreas de ecosistemas que actualmente no tienen protección.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideProcessing of fresh-cut tropical fruits and vegetables: A technical guide 2010
Also available in:
No results found.There has been a marked upward trend in production and consumption of fruits and vegetables in Asia and the Pacific in recent years. Along with rising consumer demand has come greater awareness of food safety issues and increased need for convenience and quality. Selection of high quality horticultural produce for processing and implementation of good practices during processing operations are required to assure both the quality of the produce and the safety of the final product. This technical guide reviews, from a theoretical and practical perspective, the critical issues that must be addressed for fresh-cut produce to meet consumer demand for convenience, quality and safety. A case study on fresh-cut processing in Thailand is included. The guide should be of practical value to small processors, trainers and extension workers who provide support to individuals engaged in production of fresh-cut tropical produce for sale. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideRecarbonizing global soils – A technical manual of recommended management practices
Volume 5 - Forestry, wetlands, urban soils – Practices overview
2021Also available in:
No results found.During the last decades, soil organic carbon (SOC) attracted the attention of a much wider array of specialists beyond agriculture and soil science, as it was proven to be one of the most crucial components of the earth’s climate system, which has a great potential to be managed by humans. Soils as a carbon pool are one of the key factors in several Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 15, “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss” with the SOC stock being explicitly cited in Indicator 15.3.1. This technical manual is the first attempt to gather, in a standardized format, the existing data on the impacts of the main soil management practices on SOC content in a wide array of environments, including the advantages, drawbacks and constraints. This manual presents different sustainable soil management (SSM) practices at different scales and in different contexts, supported by case studies that have been shown with quantitative data to have a positive effect on SOC stocks and successful experiences of SOC sequestration in practical field applications. Volume 5 includes 24 practices that have a direct impact on SOC sequestration and maintenance in forestry, wetlands and urban soils.
