No results found.By Ordinance No XLV of 1984, entitled The Fisheries Research Institute Ordinance, 1984, the President of the People's Republic of Bangladesh created the Fisheries Research Institute on 11 July, 1984. Analysis of the present fisheries situation revealed that main emphasis should be given to research in riverine fisheries (to maintain present production levels), brackishwater aquaculture, and fisheries in ponds and other freshwater bodies (Chapter 2). Priority research projects have been iden tified and allocated to the research stations procedures for starting up research work have been developed. elated projects are combined to research programmes, of which a limited number are taken up in each station. This will strongly improve motivation of researchers, as well as efficiency of guidance. Sources of project funding have been identified, including the Contract Research scheme of the Agricultural Research II Project (Chapter 4.4). It is argumented that the original set-up of FR I (5 stations, HQ in Chandpur) hampers progress because of problems in management, research guidance, and in efficient use of available budgets. It is proposed to limit the number of stations to 3 (for freshwater, brackishwater and marine research) and to house the headquarters in one of them, preferably in Mymensingh (freshwater) (Chapter 4.1). Organogrammes and staffing lists are presented; concentration of facilities makes the organization smaller and better, and FRI can function with less personnel than originally foreseen (Chapter 4.2/3). Technical Assistance to FRI is available from different sources; for the various specialists responsabilities and their place in the organization have been specified (Chapter 4.5). Proposals for regular monitoring of research projects have been worked out in detail (Chapter 5.2/3). -

No results found.he FAO Expert Consultation on Strategies for Sustainable Animal Agriculture in Developing Countries was held at the FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy, from 10 to 14 December 1990.Animal agriculture is a complex, multi-component, interactive process that is dependant on land, human resources and capital investment. Throughout the developing world it is practised in many different forms, in different environments and with differing degrees of intensity and biological efficiency. As a result any meaningful discussion of the subject must draw on a broad spectrum of the biological and earth sciences as well as the social, economic and political dimensions that bear so heavily on the advancement of animal agriculture. There is a growing consensus among politicians, planners and scientists alike that livestock production in the third world is not developing as it should, or at a sufficient pace to meet the high quality protein needs of a rapidly expanding human population. The sobering reality is, despite the many development projects implemented over the years by national, bilateral and multinational agencies and often substantial capital investment, there has been little or no change in the efficiency of animal production in the developing world. Livestock numbers have increased substantially in many countries and while the growth in output is welcome, it does not necessarily equate with sustainable productive growth. On the contrary it can, as it has done in the drought prone arid regions, lead to a lowering of productivity and degradation of the rangelands.The purpose of the Expert Consultation was to discuss and formulate specific criteria and questions relating to the planning and implementation of sustainable livestock production programmes in the developing world. There is increasing concern regarding the conservation of the natural resource base and protection of the global environment and FAO attaches highest priority to the sustainable development of plant and animal agriculture. This Expert Consultation is one of a number of initiatives being undertaken by FAO to ensure the sustainability of it's agricultural development programme. The discussion and recommendations arising from this Expert Consultation have been used to help to focus and guide global, regional and national policies and action programmes on the sustainable development of agriculture and have provided an important contribution to the FAO/Government of the Netherlands International Conference on Agriculture and the Environment held in the hague, 15–19 April, 1991.
