DocumentOther documentThe trawl Fisheries of the western Bay of Bengal 2013
Also available in:
No results found.The Western Bay of Bengal (WBoB) trawl fishery is typically a tropical multispecies mixed fishery with a history of commercial exploitation since early 1960s. The nature of fishing changed dramatically with the introduction of trawlers. In the last 50 years, trawlers have become immensely popular and have emerged as the most important fishing craft in the region. The trawl fishery extends from 8oN (off Kanyakumari on the south) to 22oN (off Sunderbans in the north), accessing fishing grounds bet ween 10 m and 150 m depth, but often restricted to a maximum depth of about 70 m. Thus trawling by Indian fishermen has remained exclusively a coastal activity and deep-‐sea trawling is occasional. The main gear is the bottom otter trawl, with two variants, namely the shrimp trawl and fish trawl. The difference between the two variants is that the shrimp trawl scrapes through the bottom with more sinkers, and the fish trawl is hauled slightly off bottom with more floats. The fishery is complex with operation from craft varying in length and efficiency. All trawlers are mechanized, with the engine placed inboard. Being multispecies, the fishery exploits species that widely vary in their life history traits and habitats. Approximately 800 species of elasmobranchs, teleosts, crustaceans, molluscs and echinoderms are taken by the trawls, and at least 300 species contribute to the fishery. -

Also available in:
No results found.Trawl fisheries are an important component of the capture fisheries sector in Malaysia. Although small in terms of percentage of licenses issued (11.79%), their significance is underlined by their contribution to the overall landings (48.19%), as shown in the table below for the year 2011. -
DocumentOther documentA brief introduction to trawl fishery and management issues in Vietnam 2013
Also available in:
No results found.Trawl fisheries play an important role in Vietnam marine capture fishery, not only in terms of total number of fishing effort, but also in catch volume. According to DECAFIREP1 (2013), currently, there are about 19,700 trawlers which were categorized by different fishing fleets based on engine capacity (HP), namely below 20 CV, 20-‐ ˂50CV, 50-‐ ˂90CV, 90-‐ ˂ 150CV, 150-‐ ˂ 250CV, 250-‐ ˂ 400CV and above 400CV. Trawlers occur in all 28 coastal provinces but dominant in the certain provinces, such as the northern cluster: Quang Ninh (1,257 units), Thanh Hoa (1,296 units); the southern cluster including Binh Thuan (1,227 units), Ba Ria – Vung Tau (1,980 units), Ben Tre (2,878 units) and Kien Giang (3,156 units). The small trawlers (bellow 90 CV) normally fish shrimp, prawn while big trawlers focus on fish including small pelagic fishes (anchovy, sardine, scads…) and others. Mainly, shrimp trawlers concentrate in Kien Giang, Ben Tre, Ca Mau and Bac Lieu provinces. Below 90 CV trawlers account for about 46 % total number of trawlers in the country.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
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.
