Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Workshop on Communicating the Guidelines for Sustainable Aquaculture. Rome, Italy, 28–29 October 2024 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The Workshop on Communicating the Guidelines for Sustainable Aquaculture (GSA) was held in Rome, Italy on 28–29 October 2024. The 33 participants comprised governmentally nominated delegates complemented by invited experts from international institutions. This activity was held under the European Union-funded project "Supporting a Blue Transformation: Implementation of the Guidelines for Sustainable Aquaculture (GSA)." The two-day workshop was convened by FAO and consisted of working sessions, presentations and facilitated discussions. The workshop concluded with a call to action and validated expert recommendations on the further communication of the GSA. Generally, the expert workshop recommended inclusive communication of the GSA to reach all stakeholders, including small-scale actors. Diverse tools were suggested, such as videos, applications, localized broadcasts, and social media designed to address language and geographic barriers. Furthermore, targeted and audience-specific messaging was advised, highlighting the GSA’s practical benefits, their alignment with SDGs and success stories through case studies. Direct community engagement, partnerships with larger businesses and youth-focused initiatives were emphasized to foster trust and inclusivity. To monitor and evaluate the impact of communication efforts, the recommendations suggested using metrics, feedback mechanisms and participatory meetings. The expert workshop provided targeted recommendations for all individual GSA sections. For example, for governance and planning, experts emphasized identifying competent authorities, building on regulatory best practices and facilitating the GSA’s adoption through workshops and policy briefs. For the sustainable resource use section of the GSA, suggested priorities included fostering academic partnerships, raising awareness about production methods and highlighting aquaculture’s low carbon footprint. Related to social responsibility, experts called for actions to attract youth, address cultural barriers in gender equality communication and encourage collaboration within farmer clusters. Recommendations for value chains, market access and trade focused on mapping stakeholders, enhancing transparency and promoting by-products as opportunities. Experts also urged capacity building among financial institutions and leveraging partnerships to support GSA implementation. Finally, it was recommended to align GSA reporting with SDG frameworks, refining monitoring tools and creating a knowledge hub for collaboration. For the upcoming GSA Regional Promotional Workshops, the expert workshop recommended identifying opportunities to integrate the GSA into regional development strategies, sharing country-specific case studies and involving regionally active partners such as transboundary authorities and development agencies.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
