Book (series)Manual / guideManual of fisheries sampling surveys: methodologies for estimations of socio-economic indicators in the Mediterranean Sea. 2004
Also available in:
No results found.This manual on the sampling methodology for use in the construction of socio-economic indicators was initiated by the Sub-Committee on Economic and Social Sciences (SCESS) of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC). It was carried out jointly by Istituto Ricerche Economiche per la Pesca e l’Acquacoltura (IREPA), Salerno, Italy, and Gabinete de Economía del Mar (GEM), Universidad de Barcelona, Spain, within the framework of the ad hoc Work ing Group on Socio-Economic Indicators of SCESS. This manual is aimed at all decision-makers who may need correct data to build socio-economic indicators. At an international level, the manual can be used to facilitate and simplify reporting under international conventions and agreements on matters relating to the sustainable development of the world’s fisheries. Regional fisheries bodies and stakeholders involved in fisheries decision-making, such as the fishing industry, other user groups, c ertification bodies, local communities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) may also draw upon this manual to assist in meeting societal goals for fisheries. This manual can be applied to fisheries at many different levels, from individual fisheries and coastal management units to a global level. It aims to encourage consistent usage of statistical methods in data collection. Governments may also wish to adapt the manual to the specific requirements of their national fisheries.

Policy briefPolicy briefAntibiotic use in horticulture and crop production in India
A review
2025Also available in:
No results found.Antibiotics have been used in agriculture since the 1950s to control bacterial diseases in high-value crops, with over 39 countries adopting this practice. In India, growing misuse and overuse of antibiotics in agriculture raise concerns due to potential public health risks, particularly antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This technical brief explores antibiotic use in India's agriculture, examining types used, regulatory gaps, and impacts on health and the environment. It also compares usage across agriculture sectors and offers recommendations to curb misuse and mitigate AMR. The aim is to inform policy and promote responsible antibiotic use in Indian agriculture. -

Also available in:
No results found.The Country Programming Framework (CPF) 2023–2027 sets out four priority areas to facilitate FAO’s partnership with and support to, the Government of India for transforming agrifood systems by applying innovative international best practices and global standards, along with national and regional expertise, and providing the required technical assistance. These are: 1. sustainable agricultural production,2. food and nutrition security,3. climate resilience and sustainable natural resource management and4. inclusive, gender-responsive agrifood systems governance. The CPF will support the Government of India’s efforts to double farmers’ income and make agriculture more productive, sustainable, remunerative and climate resilient. Additionally, it will support the government’s efforts to make India malnutrition-free. The CPF 2023–2027 has been developed taking into account major identified challenges in transforming India’s agrifood systems, government policies and priorities. This has been done through extensive consultations with national stakeholders, particularly government line ministries, civil society, the private sector and development partners as well as relevant UN agencies, including the Rome-based Agencies. The CPF is also aligned with the FAO Strategic Framework 2022–31, as well as the Organization’s regional priorities for the Asia and the Pacific region and its corporate initiatives such as the Digital Village Initiative (DVI), Hand-in-Hand Initiative (HIHI) and One Country One Priority Product (OCOP). The CPF 2023–2027 is designed as a living document and can be updated to respond to changes in government priorities and unfolding situations. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureSDG Indicator 2.4.1
Proportion of agricultural area under productive and sustainable agriculture
2019Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture plays an essential role in ensuring a better future for all. As a fundamental connection between people and the planet, it can help achieve multiple SDGs. Yet, to ensure enough food is produced for a population of nearly 10 billion by 2050 without critically degrading natural resources, we need a transition to sustainable agricultural systems. By tracking the proportion of agricultural land area by its suitability status, SDG Indicator 2.4.1 provides an assessment of progress towards sustainable agriculture. In doing so, it supplies decision-makers with strategic information for evidence-based policies and action.
