Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the WECAFC-FIRMS Data workshop, Christ Church, Barbados, 19-21 January 2016 2016
Also available in:
No results found.A regional workshop was held in Barbados on 19-21 January 2016 and was attended by thirteen countries (mostly Caribbean Island states), two EU overseas territories, and four regional organizations. This workshop was a cornerstome milestone of the action on “Strengthening national data collection and regional data sharing through FIRMS to support priority regional fishery management plans in the WECAFC area”, funded by EU-DG MARE. The workshop intended to be innovative, addressing the entire data value adding chain from national data collection, through data sharing and analysis at regional level, up to the dissemination of assessment results to the broader public through FIRMS reports. The chosen approach placed the question of statistical data collection (the WHAT) and regional data sharing (the HOW) in respect of the final use (the WHY). The workshop reviewed existing situation regarding current practices, issues and gaps in data collection, processing and dissemination at national l evel. Through prioritization sessions, recommendations were made for achieving the RDB in support to stock assessment and fishery management plans. Practical follow-up actions and road map building as much as possible on existing frameworks and collaborations were endorsed by the participants, with proper identification of responsibilities, resources and time frames. As part of these, recommendations were formulated to ventilate statistics/data/IT related ToRs across existing Species WECAFC-CRF M-OSPESCA working groups and the need for an ad’hoc transversal working group was endorsed by the workshop. -
BookletCorporate general interestMeasuring SDG indicator 5.a.1: Individual’s land ownership over agricultural land using data from the Rural Livelihoods Information System (RuLIS)
RuLIS brief
2021Also available in:
No results found.RuLIS is a tool to support policies for reducing rural poverty, jointly developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Statistics Division, the World Bank and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). RuLIS brings together harmonized indicators and comparable data across countries and over time on rural incomes, livelihoods and rural development and allows monitoring the status and progressr of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) indicators. SDG 5.a1 measures women’s ownership rights and control over agricultural land. Through this indicator it is possible to assess the extent of women’s disadvantages in ownership and tenure rights over agricultural land, providing a basis for policy measures aimed at securing women equal opportunities and access to economic resources. This brief is the first analysis that employs a harmonized methodology for measuring tenure rights over agricultural land based on RuLIS data. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Expert Consultation on Data Formats and Procedures for Monitoring, Control and Surveillance. Bergen, Norway, 25 - 27 October 2004 2005
Also available in:
No results found.The Expert Consultation on Data Formats and Procedures for Monitoring, Control and Surveillance, held in Bergen (Norway) in October 2004, made a number of recommendations for more effective harmonization and exchange of fishing vessel information. The experts emphasized that an efficient path to standardized data formats would be the use of existing and developing data sets from the Coordinating Working Party on Fishery Statistics (CWP). Topics covered at this meeting included: fishing vessel mo nitoring system reporting procedures; licences and fishing authorizations; exchange of catch certificates and trade documents; electronic fishing logbooks; progress made by the CWP; the use of Customs Tariff Codes; and linkages with traceability and ecolabelling.

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 (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 (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge.
