No results found.Between 29 November and 3 December, 2017, Cyclone Ockhi devastated hundreds of lives and livelihoods of coastal fishing communities in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, India. This study assesses the impacts of the cyclone on fishing communities and the mechanisms in place at the local, national and international levels to address disaster risks and sea safety in small-scale fisheries, using a human rights-based approach.In line with the Sendai Framework 2015-2030 and the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries, the study recommends applying “relief-development continuum” and “build back better” concepts to the management of disaster risks in order to save lives and to reduce damage to fisheries assets and livelihoods. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookInternational Year of the Potato 2008 - New light on a hidden treasure
An end-of-year review
2009The International Year of the Potato (IYP) in 2008 was a celebration of one of humanity’s most important and universally loved staple foods. This end-of-year review records IYP’s achievements and underscores its essential message: that the potato is a vital part of the global food system, and will play an ever greater role in strengthening world food security and alleviating poverty. The review describes the rationale for the International Year, its objectives and implementation. It introduces our guest-of-honour, Solanum tuberosum, the “humble tuber” that spread from the Andes across six continents and changed the course of world history. Specialists from FAO and the International Potato Center deepen our knowledge of the potato in 10 factsheets on key issues in potato development. The review also provides the most recent FAO statistics on world potato production and consumption, and profiles of 52 major potato producing countries.
