Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetSMS Gateway: Improving animal health through ICTs 2017
Also available in:
No results found.This case study sets out to show how an SMS Gateway system developed by FAO has been used to improve rural communication, support animal disease crisis management and contribute to livelihood resilience for small-scale farmers. Focusing on the case study of avian influenza in Bangladesh, the case study explores how the SMS alert system has bolstered disease prevention, surveillance and reporting among poultry farmers. This resilience case study is designed for practitioners who are interested in using an SMS Gateway system, or other cellular or web-based technologies, to improve reporting of animal disease outbreaks and exchange other types of information. It is expected to be of particular interest to farmers and producers’ organizations, animal health workers, government ministry officials and institutions involved in carrying out or supporting development projects. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetInnovative technology enables fish farming in arid regions 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Despite high temperatures and limited water resources, arid regions show promise for aquaculture. New innovative technologies like aquaponics and closed recirculation systems now enable fish farming in these challenging environments. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is at the forefront of supporting countries in the Near East and North Africa to harness these technologies, providing technical assistance, environmental and socio-economic assessments, and institutional capacity building. In the United Arab Emirates, FAO has facilitated the adoption of high-tech solutions for desert fish farming by advising on closed recirculating systems and energy use including the integration of solar power, to further contribute to the sector's sustainability. Production increased from 790 to 3 525 tonnes between 2015 and 2022. In Morocco, the aquaculture sector is still limited. FAO has developed a comprehensive plan to support the sustainable growth of fish farming and create new livelihoods for rural communities. FAO's initiatives include training government staff, fostering public-private partnerships, and supporting aquaculture cooperatives.
