Book (series)Technical reportFuture prospects for fish and fishery products. 4. Fish consumption in the European Union in 2015 and 2030. Part 2. Country projections [Available on the Web only] 2008
Also available in:
No results found.This report presents the major results by country for fish consumption (consumption per capita and apparent consumption), production (captures and aquaculture and commodities) and fish trade (exports and imports) estimations and projections for 28 countries in Europe from 1989 to 2030. The increasing demand of ready-to-eat products are projected for everywhere in Europe in 2030 but with a more marked trend in the western countries because of high purchasing power in the region. Changes in consumption are mainly changes in commodities rather than species: the same species will be consumed in 2030 but in a different form. Eastern European countries will progressively catch up and conform to the consumption pattern of the Western countries. The improvement of their economies and changing consumption habits will slowly allow Eastern countries to develop a demand-driven market rather than the current supply-driven one. But, behind the apparent standardisation of consumption, regional differences will still exist: a Spanish consumer will not have the same consumption pattern as a Swedish or a Romanian one. National preferences will be conditioned through the net supply of commodities that respect historical tastes and habits but also integrate modern living conditions. -
Book (series)Technical reportFuture prospects for fish and fishery products. 4. Fish consumption in the European Union in 2015 and 2030. Part 1. European Overview 2006
Also available in:
No results found.This report presents the major results for fish consumption (consumption per capita and apparent consumption), production (captures and aquaculture and commodities) and fish trade (exports and imports) estimations and projections for 28 countries in Europe from 1989 to 2030. The projections show an increase in the demand for seafood products to 2030. The average per capita consumption by the 28 countries will move form 22 kg/caput/year in 1998 to 24 kg/caput/year in 2030. The two additiona l kilograms per capita signify that the net supply will have to increase by 1.6 million tonnes (MT) (respectively 1.1 Mt for the 2 extra kg per person and 550 000 tonnes due to the 22 million population growth over the period). Aquaculture growth will not be able to meet the increasing demand; therefore, imports are projected to rise to 11 Mt (+15 percent from 1998), increasing the dependency of Europe on the rest of the world for its fish and fish products.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookIntegrated management of the Fall Armyworm on maize
A guide for Farmer Field Schools in Afica
2018Also available in:
Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) – FAW, a dangerous transboundary pest native to the Americas, has been spreading rapidly to all sub-regions of Africa since 2016, causing significant yield losses to crops. Farmer education and community action are critical elements in the strategy to best manage FAW populations, using an integrated and ecological pest management approach. Farmer Field School (FFS), a holistic farmer education approach used in over 90 countries, will be a key component of the response effort. This guide seeks to provide guidance on how to conduct FFS on the integrated and sustainable management of the FAW in Africa, with emphasis on maize as FAW’s preferred host plant. It provides information on the biology and ecology of FAW; field studies and exercises for use in season-long FFS; and suggestions on how to build a training programme for rural advisory services/extension on FAW and FFS refresher courses of Master Trainers and Facilitators.
