Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Workshop on the Small Pelagic Resources of Angola, Congo and Gabon. Luanda, Angola, 3-7 November 1997 2000
Also available in:
No results found.The document includes the national reports by Angola, Congo and Gabon on their small pelagic resources and the fisheries utilizing them. At the workshop, a total of seven working groups were formed to look at the following topics: • methods and results of the hydroacoustic surveys used to estimate the biomasses of small pelagic resources in the three countries; • migration and distribution of Sardinella maderensis; • development of an age-structured model of the Trachurus trecae stoc k; • assessments of Sardinella spp. and Trachurus trecae stocks using surplus production approaches; • surplus production models and the environment (applications of CLIMPROD); • estimation of the growth rate of Trachurus trecae; and • Ethmalosa fimbriata. The reports from each of these working groups are presented in this document. In addition, the final conclusions and recommendations arising from the discussions and analyses undertaken at the workshop are presented here. -
DocumentProgrammingAngola: Food and Agriculture Organization Angola Country Programming Framework 2013-2017 2012
Also available in:
No results found.This Country Programming Framework (CPF) sets out priority areas to guide FAO’s partnership with and support to the Government of Angola (GoA), bringing together innovative international best practices and global standards with national and regional expertise during the five years 2013 – 2017. The CPF was prepared following extensive consultation with the government and development partners during 2012. The CPF puts an emphasis on sustainably increasing food security and nutrition by building in stitutional and smallholder capacities in production, the sustainable management of natural resources while at the same time increasing the resilience of rural livelihoods to climatic shocks and threats. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookMeasuring Sustainability in Cotton Farming Systems
Towards a Guidance Framework
2015Also available in:
As a global industry, the conditions under which cotton is grown and the issues associated with its cultivation vary enormously due to differing environmental, agroecological, climatic, socio-economic and political conditions. These varying conditions mean that the cultivation of the same crop may result in significantly different practices and impacts, and that there are significantly different options and capabilities available to address these impacts. An assessment of the impacts of cotton g rowing, and development of the best options for managing impacts, should therefore always be done with reference to the specific context. However, despite these highly variable conditions, and the site-specific nature of appropriate responses, the impacts of cotton growing are often considered globally. Both the cotton industry and cotton as a raw material are assessed either generically, or on the basis of the averaging of information from different countries without reference to the specific p roduction locations. Access to comprehensive, site-specific, robust and uniform data is necessary to ensure that this “globalization” of the impacts of cotton farming portrays the actual impacts as accurately as possible. -
Book (series)Technical studySustainable agricultural mechanization in China
A comprehensive review
2023Also available in:
Sustainable agricultural mechanization covers all levels of farming and processing technologies, and takes into consideration technological, economic, social, environmental and cultural aspects when contributing to the sustainable development of agrifood systems. This publication strives to comprehensively and systematically summarize the status and strategies of China's agricultural mechanization development, its impacts, experiences and practices, and business models. Furthermore, the publication investigates the related investment and policy recommendations to reach the goal of agricultural and rural modernization by 2035, to drive smallholder farmers to enter modern agriculture, and to achieve sustainable development. It is estimated that by 2035, agricultural production in China will predominantly be mechanized. The concept of integrating mechanization and digitalization will be applied to agricultural mechanization management and operation monitoring and services, and mechanization will comprehensively support all agricultural and rural modernization. The development of sustainable agricultural mechanization in China provides cases and examples of innovations with global value, not only for developing countries but in particular for middle-income countries and emerging countries. This publication is part of the Country Investment Highlights series under the FAO Investment Centre's Knowledge for Investment (K4I) programme. -
DocumentWorking paper林业部门对国民经济的贡献, 1990–2011 2017本报告是粮农组织关于这一主题的第二次更新。它提供了林业部门对国民经济在全球、区域和国家层面的贡献。本研究列示了林业部门贡献的趋势（总就业、经济附加值和出口）并分析了其后 的驱动力。 它更新数据和分析至2011年。本研究就区域和全球的趋势给予了适当的估计。但是，在单个国家层面，在没有数据的有些时候使用了粮农的估计值，所以建议在使用单个国家数据及分析 时要审慎。
