ProjectProgramme / project reportCOPEMED - Artisanal fishery communities in the Mediterranean: two case studies
Pêche artisanale dans la lagune de Nador, Maroc: exploitation et aspects socio-économiquesEvolution of the artisanal fishery in cilento, Italy
2003Also available in:
No results found.Artisanal fishery in the Mediterranean region is a very attractive and interesting tradition. Because of its unpredictable operational pattern and its constant adaptation to internal and external phenomena it is difficult to really assess its status over time. The need to improve our knowledge of artisanal fishery and how it is conducted in the Mediterranean has been highlighted on many occasions and, in a way, still remains an ongoing issue. The FAO-COPEMED Project took up the opportu nity to initiate a sub-regional project activity to assess the situation of artisanal fisheries in the eight countries involved in the project (Algeria, France, Italy, Libya, Malta, Morocco, Spain and Tunisia) in order to contribute regionally to an issue which, to our knowledge, is usually treated in a very superficial way and only at national level. The present work illustrates two case studies dealing with small scale fisheries systems in two different and significant areas of the M editerranean sea: the area of Cilento in Italy and Nador Lagoon in Morocco. Even though the offshore industrial or semi-industrial fisheries are the most productive, smallscale coastal fisheries have a much greater social and cultural significance. Mediterranean artisanal fishing is a very variable activity. It encompasses many types of fishing gears and methods. Its resources, shared among various parties, move from one region to another, and the size of the fish catch varies from c ountry to country, as does its economical value. Catches are highly multi-specific and fishing intensities and strategies show very rapid fluctuations in space and over time. The variation of active fishermen and boats by area, sometimes over very short periods of time, is also a significant characteristic of the artisanal fishery sector. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportInteractive mechanisms for small-scale fisheries management: Report of the regional consultation 2002
Also available in:
No results found.This document is a report of the proceedings and compilation of the papers presented at the regional consultation on interactive mechanisms for small-scale fisheries management, which was held in Bangkok, Thailand in November 2001. The meeting identifies constraints and responsibilities in decentralized small-scale fisheries management and offers practical solutions to the social, economic, environmental and legal constraints to local fisheries management. The fisheries sector has grown dramatic ally in Asia over the past three decades and the region is now a main supplier to the global fish market. However, the impressive growth has been accompanied by serious challenges in the form of over-exploitation of coastal resources. Country papers included in the publication examine national experiences in small-scale fisheries management in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. Separate papers provide regional perspectives on the issue while ex perience papers report on the working of small-scale fisheries management projects in the region.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -
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.
