This publication provides orientation, basic considerations and general principles for those institutions and organizations that provide credit and microfinance services to the fisheries sector, particularly the small-scale fisheries sector, and for those who want to include inland fishers and inland capture fisheries as part of their client base and lending operations. The document has three parts. Part 1 contains guidelines for meeting the credit and microfinance needs in inland capture fisher ies development and conservation in Asia. Part 2 contains reports of the proceedings and recommendations of two regional workshops held in 2004 and 2006, from which the guidelines evolved. Part 3 of the document consists of case studies and success stories on: the rehabilitation of inland fisheries and on the access to and utilization of credit and microfinance services with reference to the rehabilitation and development of inland fisheries at Lake Taihu and Lake Luoma in China; management chal lenges in riverine fisheries along River Ganga and prospects of inland fisheries development in West Bengal and Assam in India; livelihoods at Lake Inlay in Southern Shan State in Myanmar; fishery policy reform and aquaculture development in Cambodia; and community-based rehabilitation and management of fishery resources at river Kinabatangan in Sabah, Malaysia. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookInland capture fishery statistics of Southeast Asia: current status and information needs 2002
Also available in:
No results found.Inland fisheries play a key role in meeting the livelihood and food security needs of millions of rural households in Southeast Asia, yet do not receive the attention they deserve from national policy makers. A major reason is the lack of reliable information and statistics about the sector compared to marine fisheries and aquaculture. Such statistics provide the basis for opinion, policy, planning and management decisions, “even among those who recognize the weaknesses of the statistics”. This has led to a significant undervaluing of inland capture fisheries and has implications for the relative attention and investment it receives. This document provides a regional overview of statistics collection and reporting methods used, sources of error in the official statistics and other constraints to data collection, and recommends strategies for improving these. A second section reviews the current state of inland capture fisheries statistics in the eight countries that were reviewed.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
