Policy briefPolicy briefTechnical plan for marine protected areas to support fisheries management in Fisheries Management Area 714 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Fisheries Management Area (FMA) 714 covers the Tolo Bay and Banda Sea waters and five provinces, which are East Nusa Tenggara, Southeast Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, Maluku, and North Maluku. The utilization rate of fish resources in FMA 714 has reached fully exploited for five groups of fish resources and over-exploited for four other groups of fishes. As of 2022, FMA 714 encompasses a minimum of 44 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) with varying types and management statuses, with the total area covered by the MPAs in FMA 714 approximately 7 135 383.57 hectares. The conservation targets in the designated MPAs of FMA 714 include the protection of critical ecosystem and several specific fish species. In addition, FMA 714 is also home to spawning grounds and breeding grounds for yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and is reserved as a limited fishing zone. The establishment of a conservation area has yet to show its contribution to supporting sustainable fisheries management. This is mainly due to the lack of effective management of the conservation areas in FMA 714. Several issues were identified, for example: the protection of important fish resource habitats in FMA 714 is not yet optimal because most of the conservation areas are still in reserved stage; the decline of fish stock in FMA 714, such as scads, snapper and squid, likely links to the inoptimal implementation of the closure system in FMA 714 and should be reinforced with additional management measures such as enhanced surveillance and law enforcement, stricter permit regulations, and regular monitoring and evaluation. Unsustainable fishing practices still exist in FMA 714 and there are no technical arrangements (input control and output control) at the fishing zone in the conservation area. Moreover, the Conservation Area (MPA) Network is not yet operational and the protection of yellowfin tuna spawning grounds in FMA 714 has not been effectively monitored. The policy brief offers some recommendations to address the above issues.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -
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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookDairy developments' impact on poverty reduction 2018
Also available in:
No results found.In 2015 the 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim to end poverty (SDG1) and hunger (SDG2) while restoring and sustainably managing natural resources. Given the importance of livestock in poor people’s livelihoods, livestock sector development, and particularly the development of the dairy sector, is regarded as a promising avenue for supporting the achievement of SDG1. To underpin the case for dairy development as an avenue for poverty reduction, this study assessed the evidence for a causal relationship between dairy development and poverty reduction / improved household welfare. This study found that dairy cow ownership and/or improvement of dairy cow production consistently had a substantial positive and nearly always statistically significant impact on a wide range of indicators. The research sampled in this study was consistent in it’s agreement that engagement in dairying was the cause rather than the result of higher household welfare.
