No results found.This paper delves into the rationale of the Food Loss Index, presenting the various elements of its methodology. It contains a set of definitional framework and scope of the index, it illustrates the rationale for estimating losses as the percentage of food quantities removed from the supply chain.

Book (series)Indicators for sustainable aquaculture in Mediterranean and Black Sea countries. Guide for the use of indicators to monitor sustainable development of aquaculture
Guide for the use of indicators to monitor sustainable development of aquaculture
2013Also available in:
No results found.This publication provides guidance for the use of indicators to monitor the sustainable development of aquaculture in Mediterranean and Black Sea countries. It mainly draws upon the outcomes of the activities carried out within the InDAM project on “Indicators for Sustainable Development of Aquaculture and Guidelines for their use in the Mediterranean”, funded by the European Commission Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE), as well as the outputs of other projects and initiatives dealing with European/Mediterranean aquaculture sustainability. InDAM has been carried out in support to the Working Group on Sustainability in Aquaculture (WGSA) of the GFCM Committee on Aquaculture (CAQ). The publication was prepared by the GFCM Secretariat in close collaboration with coordinators and experts of the WGSA, the Working Group on Marketing on Aquaculture (WGMA), the Working Group on Site Selection and Carrying Capacity (WGSC), the Information System for the Promotion of Aquaculture (SIPAM), as well as other experts involved in projects and research activities on indicators for sustainable aquaculture and key stakeholders. -
ArticleThe geographical indication pathway to sustainability: A framework to assess and monitor the contributions of geographical indications to sustainability through a participatory process 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Geographical Indications (GIs) are widely considered as tools to contribute to sustainability (The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations—FAO, 2009; 2017), if established and well managed. While the literature may not always agree on the positive effects of GIs in all sustainability dimensions (e.g., economic, social, and environmental), there is evidence that engaging GI producers in a sustainability strategy can maximize their contribution to different components of sustainable development. FAO and oriGIn developed the sustainability strategy for GI (SSGI) to support GI producers and their associations so that they could engage in a place-based and participative approach in order to generate concrete progress and results. This paper presents original research for building both a framework and database for the selection and use of relevant sustainability indicators for GIs. A number of SSGI principles have guided the work throughout an iterative process for reviewing, selecting, and improving relevant indicators, while the Sustainability Assessment of Food and Agriculture (SAFA) has provided the structure to align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other widely used and recognized sustainability frameworks. As a result of this work, a database of 372 robust sustainability indicators that are relevant to GIs have been characterized to facilitate their use by practitioners. The discussion highlights the importance of the place-based approach and the participative, inclusive process that represents the key to empowerment and the ability to develop alliances. It also focuses on action, and the need to strengthen both internal and external communication.
