ProjectProgramme / project reportThe Effect of Artificial Reef Installation on the Biosocioeconomics of Small-Scale Fisheries in Ranong Province, Thailand-BOBP/WP/97 1994
Also available in:
No results found.The Government of Thailand felt that installation of suitable Artificial Reefs (ARs) in the coastal waters around the country would contribute towards management of coastal fisheries resources, restrict operation of such efficient methods as trawling in the coastal waters, reduce conflicts among fishermen, and increase opportunities for small-scale fisherfolk to improve their income from fishing. In 1989, ARs were installed in three locations in Ranong Province. The three Ars covered an area o f 50.8 km2, about 9-11 km from the shoreline and at depths ranging from 12 to 17m. The Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP), within the framework of its project RAS/9J/006, Biosocioeconomics of Small-scale Fisheries, agreed to support the implementation of a subproject that would take up as a case study and assess the impact of the ARs by applying biosocioeconomic analytic methods. The investigations between 1991 and 1993 were done under BOBP’s ‘Small-scale Fisherfolk Communities’ project funded by DANIDA and SIDA and the reporting under ‘Bioeconomics of Small-scale Fisheries’ funded by UNDP. This document is a compilation of working documents describing the separate but simultaneously carried out investigations into the suitability of the locations, the environmental conditions around the ARs, colonization of the ARs, enhancement of the resources, the influence of the ARs on the fisheries, and the impact of income changes, if any, on the socioeconomic conditions of the small-scale fish erfolk fishing at the ARs.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
