Book (stand-alone)FAO strategy / plan / policy / roadmapДЕСЯТИЛЕТИЕ СЕМЕЙНЫХ ФЕРМЕРСКИХ ХОЗЯЙСТВ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ ОБЪЕДИНЕННЫХ НАЦИЙ 2019-2028 Глобальный план действий 2019Сельское хозяйство сегодня на распутье. Оно сталкивается с растущим давлением необходимости обеспечения растущего населения доступным и питательным продовольствием в достаточных объемах, одновременно преодолевая проблемы, связанные с изменением климата и деградацией природных ресурсов, включая нехватку воды, истощение почвы и потерю биоразнообразия. Широко распространенное и устойчивое социальное и экономическое неравенство между сельскими и городскими районами привело к беспрецедентному росту городского населения, а ограниченные адаптационные возможности городов приводят к социальной маргинализации и порой - к конфликтам. Начиная Десятилетие семейных фермерских хозяйств Организации Объединенных Наций (2019–2028 годы) мы вновь подтверждаем нашу решимость и приверженность поддержке согласованных действий для реализации целей Повестки дня в области устойчивого развития на период до 2030 года и активизации мер по обеспечению здоровых, жизнеспособных и устойчивых продовольственных систем. Давайте разместим семейные фермерские хозяйства в центре, чтобы они возглавили трансформацию в течение этого Десятилетия и после него.

Book (series)General interest bookMandate, structures and practices of Africa’s regional and subregional organizations in the development and implementation of normative food and agriculture instruments 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The African Union (AU) declared 2022 as the "Year of Nutrition" to address persistent food insecurity and malnutrition in Africa. Despite progress, challenges remain due to policy failures, conflict, climate issues, and global economic imbalances. In 2021, 322 million Africans faced severe food insecurity, with sub-Saharan Africa being the most affected. To tackle these issues, the AU and regional economic communities (RECs) prioritize food security and agriculture. Key frameworks like Agenda 2063 aim for a continent with stable, nutritious food sources. The AU and RECs have developed various instruments to support their Member States in these efforts.FAO commissioned CEFROHT to study the governance of the AU and RECs in sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on food and agriculture policies, implementation challenges, and collaboration opportunities. CEFROHT analyzed the activities of key organizations, including EAC, IGAD, SADC, CEMAC, CEN–SAD, CILSS, ECOWAS, ECCAS, and COMESA. The report highlights their governance structures, normative frameworks, and potential areas for collaboration with FAO. -
Book (series)Technical studyPacific oyster farming
A practical manual
2024Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of this manual is to give the reader a foundation of practical knowledge regarding all aspects of Pacific oyster cultivation. It is targeted at new entrants to the market wishing to establish a farm, and existing operators who wish to develop their farms and explore new cultivation techniques. The methodologies described can be applied both to low-tech, low budget, small-scale farming operations and to high-tech, big budget, industrial-scale aquaculture production enterprises. This guide focuses on the functional expertise and technical equipment required to construct and manage an operational farm in the diverse environmental and physical locations in which they can be situated, from the initial stages of finding and selecting a suitable site, to the conclusion of the first production cycle and harvesting the crop. The manual contains a brief introduction which describes the relevance of the species with regards to global aquaculture production figures and how it can form an important part of future food production strategies. Chapter 2 describes the anatomy and biology of Crassostrea gigas and gives an indication as to the environmental conditions in which the species thrives as well as the pathologies and predators that can result in poor health leading to potential mortalities. Chapter 3 deals with all aspects of undertaking a survey of potential oyster farming sites and what data should be collected and examined to assess a site’s suitability, but also which areas are best suited to different cultivation techniques. After this, Chapter 4 introduces the main farming techniques that will be described in detail in the following chapters, which includes off-bottom cultivation, on-bottom cultivation, and suspended cultivation, and gives details of some of the most common cultivation equipment necessary to undertake these operations. The techniques and strategies necessary to procure seed oysters and how to develop them through the nursery stage are also introduced. This includes the basic principles of upwelling, which then leads into Chapter 5, which provides a detailed description of how to build and operate one particular example of a Floating Upwelling System (Flupsy) which is suitable for use in remote but sheltered conditions. Chapters 6, 7 and 8 constitute the main body of the manual and provide an in-depth look into the three major cultivation techniques that this guide concentrates on: “Farming with trestles and bags in the intertidal zone”, “On-bottom cultivation in the intertidal or subtidal zone” and “Offshore longline cultivation”.
