    Thanks to the 2010 bumper crop, cereal prices remained relatively low, though slightly increasing due to seasonal patterns. Food security is generally stable, but pockets of food insecurity exist particularly in pastoral areas due to lean season and water shortages. Agencies classify the food security situation as stressed (IPC Phase 2). Conflict in Libya has posed a threat to internal security due to the return of armed groups fighting for Ghedafi. The Government is supporting the 2011-20 12 agricultural season with its input subsidy program.

    International Year of Forests 2011 – Celebrate forests every day 2011
    Also available in:
    2011 is a special year for forests and for all who care about them. To inaugurate it, FAO has created a special issue of Unasylva. More than 100 international days are celebrated throughout the year, in recognition of a vast range of issues, occupations, activities and cultural values important to humanity. What better way to demonstrate the myriad functions of forests than to show that forests have a link to almost all of them? The Unasylva Editor, Andrea Perlis, has compiled a collec tion of images that illustrate these links. With only photos and the briefest of stories, the issue expresses the theme of the international year – “Forests for people” – by showing how forests are important to nearly all kinds of human activity. So when you celebrate Peace Day in 2011 – or International Women’s Day, or Human Rights Day, or World Health Day– even International Civil Aviation Day – you can celebrate forests.

    Développement de l’aquaculture. 4. Une approche écosystémique de l’aquaculture. 2011
    Also available in:
    Les dimensions sociales et biophysiques des écosystèmes sont inextricablement liées de telle manière qu’un changement dans une seule dimension est très susceptible de générer un changement dans une autre. Bien que le changement est une conséquence naturelle des interactions complexes, il doit être surveillé et même géré si le taux et la direction du changement risquent de compromettre la résilience du système. “Une approche écosystémique de l’aquaculture (AEA) est une stratégie pou r l’intégration de l’activité dans l’écosystème élargi de telle sorte qu’elle favorise le développement durable, l’équité et la résilience de l’interconnexion des systèmes socio-écologiques.” Etant une stratégie, l’approche écosystémique de l’aquaculture (AEA) n’est pas ce qu’on a fait, mais plutôt comment on l’a fait. La participation des parties intéressées est à la base de la stratégie. L’AEA exige un cadre politique approprié dans lequel la stratégie se développe en plusieurs é tapes: (i) la portée et la définition des limites des écosystèmes et l’identification de la partie intéressée; (ii) l’identification des problèmes principaux; (iii) la hiérarchisation des problèmes; (iv) la définition des objectifs opérationnels; (v) l’élaboration d’un plan de mise en oeuvre; (vi) le processus de mise en oeuvre correspondant qui comprend le renforcement, le suivi et l’évaluation, et (vii) un critique des politiques à long terme. Toutes ces étapes sont informées par les meilleures connaissances disponibles. La mise en oeuvre de l’AEA exigera le renforcement des institutions et des systèmes de gestion associés de sorte qu’une approche intégrée du développement de l’aquaculture peut être mise en oeuvre et compte entièrement des besoins et des impacts d’autres secteurs. La clé sera de développer des institutions capables d’intégration, notamment en fonction des objectifs et des normes convenus. L’adoption généralisée d’une AEA exigera un couplag e plus étroit de la science, la politique et la gestion. Elle exige aussi que les gouvernements incluent l’AEA dans leurs politiques de développement de l’aquaculture, stratégies et plans de développement.
