Book (series)ProceedingsAquaculture in desert and arid lands: development constraints and opportunities. FAO Technical Workshop. 6-9 July 2010, Hermosillo, Mexico 2011
Also available in:
No results found.Aquaculture in desert and arid lands has been growing steadily over the last decade thanks to the modern technologies and alternative energy sources that have allowed water in these places of extremes to be exploited more effectively and more efficiently, using it for both crop irrigation and production of fish. This publication presents the evolution of desert and arid lands aquaculture in the past few decades in seven countries and regions (Australia, Egypt, Israel, Mexico, Southern Africa, the United States of America and Central Asia) describing the achievements of a number of farming operations, which demonstrate the significant potential for farming commercial aquatic organisms using geothermal, fresh and brackish waters. The global overview on desert aquaculture development shows, through the use of maps and tables, those countries with vast extensions of arid territories that should be better investigated for potential aquaculture development. Limiting f actors were extensively discussed during the workshop, and several measures were identified and proposed. Desert conditions are characterized by high day temperatures, cold winter nights, high solar radiation, scarce precipitation and very low relative humidity. The experts reached consensus on the definition of aquaculture in the desert and arid lands, which was defined as follows: “Aquaculture activities practised in desert and arid lands characterized by low precipitation (<250 mm/y ear), high solar radiation, high rate of evaporation, using subsurface and surface water”. At the end of the workshop, a series of recommendations were elaborated by the experts to assist FAO Member countries wishing to generate a favourable national environment to promote sustainable aquaculture development. Limited water supply remains the single largest constraint for aquaculture development in arid and semi-arid regions; however, where the resource is available, the development of integrated aqua-agriculture systems may certainly provide economic output opportunities from such resource-limited regions. Such farming systems may also enable the production of highly priced fish, vegetables and fruits all year round.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileПоложение женщин в агропродовольственных системах 2024В этом отчете представлен подробный обзор положения женщин, работающих не только в сельском хозяйстве, но и во всех секторах агропродовольственной системы. В нем показано, что в рамках агропродовольственных систем создание рабочих мест для женщин, особенно женщин в сельской местности, улучшает их благосостояние и создает условия, способствующие экономическому росту, повышению доходов и производительности, а также повышению устойчивости.Отчет вышел более чем через десять лет после публикации доклада "Состояние продовольствия и сельского хозяйства в 2010-2011 гг. Роль женщин в сельском хозяйстве - преодоление гендерного разрыва в целях развития", в котором содержался призыв к устранению гендерного неравенства в доступе к сельскохозяйственным товарам, средствам производства и услугам и анализировались огромные издержки гендерного неравенства не только для женщин и сельскохозяйственного сектора, но и для экономики в целом и общества в целом. Помимо центральной темы издания 2010-2011 годов, в докладе этого года подчеркивается не только ключевая роль гендерного равенства и расширения прав и возможностей женщин в переходе к устойчивым и жизнеспособным агропродовольственным системам, но и вклад, который эта трансформация агропродовольственных систем может внести в достижение этих двух целей.В нем представлен подробный анализ данных, полученных за последние десять лет по вопросу гендерного равенства и расширения прав и возможностей женщин в агропродовольственных системах. Он также предоставляет политикам и участникам процесса развития подробную картину того, что работает, и конкретные рекомендации по дальнейшим действиям.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
