No results found.During the year of the author's assignment at the Bhairawa Fishery Development Centre about 1 117 000 fingerlings were produced; this is the highest figure obtained. Unfortunately, the water supply was insufficient; otherwise the production of fish fingerlings would have been higher. With regard to integrated fish culture farming, demonstrations of fish-cum-pig and fish-cum-duck culture were set up at the Government fish farm. The results were good, the fish production ranging from 1 845.56 to 2 443.34 kg/ha/yr. At present farmers show great interest in these activities. Previously, integrated fish farming was not accepted by them due to high capital investment and lack of experience. However, guidance in this respect was given to the farmers during in-service training conducted by the project. After participating in the training courses many have started farming fish integrated with livestock. In Pokhara, the work mainly involved cage fish culture; the number of cage owners increase d from 13 in 1978 to 63 in 1979. The boatbuilding activities have also progressed well. The number of boats built increased from 51 in 1978 to 63 in 1979. Through in-service training, cage owners from various lakes were instructed in cage fish culture, and 16 US volunteers and 61 farmers from the villages around Bhairawa were trained in various aspects of fish culture. -

No results found.FAO assigned a master boatbuilder to a project in Nepal for one year from November 1976 to October 1977 in order to set up and operate a boatbuilding training programme for the three lakes in the Pokhara region with the facilities on Lake Phewa. The purpose was to replace the existing dugout canoes with boats more suitable for fishing. The expert designed and constructed four different types of subsistence boats. A total of 21 boats was build during the expert's stay. Practical training was c arried on from the beginning relying upon people from near the lakes for trainees. Of the boats built by the project six were kept for the Fisheries Project and one was allocated to the Department of Tourism. The remaining boats were sold to the local people. The chief recommendation is that training should continue for people from around the lakes and possibly future recruitment can include trainees from other areas of Nepal. Arrangements should also be made for local people to get low co st loans to finance the purchase of these boats. -

Also available in:
No results found.Duck raising and fish-cum-duck farming are part of the Integrated Fishery and Fish Culture Development Project in Nepal. Improved strains of ducks have been introduced into the country and their production commercially and by the rural population is increasing rapidly, in turn increasing the demand for ducklings from the Government Fisheries Development Centres. Observations were made at the three centres and recommendations were made for improvements to present practices to increase productio n of duck eggs and ducklings. Training in duck husbandry was also given to technicians currently involved in this field. This report contains detailed information, with illustrations, of improved types of duck housing facilities, using mostly local materials, and procedures for selection, care and management of eggs, ducklings and breeding ducks and their distribution. Advantages and comparative costs of different breeds of ducks are analysed and introduction of an additional breed of duck i s suggested. Centralized locations for breeding and distribution of ducklings is recommended and the facilities needed are described. Financial and technical assistance is recommended to encourage the private sector to enter into duckling or meat-duck production on a small commercial scale. Other schemes for commercial duck raising are described and costs are given for buildings, feeding and other requirements. The appendixes list feeding requirements and costs of egg, duckling and meat-duck pro duction, as well as cost of facilities.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
