DocumentOther documentNegotiating Fisheries co-Management in Aceh Province, Indonesia - Notes on Process 2010
Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) with the financial assistance of the American Red Cross implemented a fisheries and aquaculture project in Aceh Province of Indonesia between 2007 and 2010. The focus of this project was on capacity building initiatives for a wide range of stakeholders involved in the sector. The aim was to facilitate the creation of a mind set which would be conducive for moving towards sustainable and responsible marine fishery and aqu aculture practices. One of the components of this project aimed at instituting co-management arrangements in the coastal fisheries of four districts of Aceh which were the worst affected by the tsunami. Conventional project reports most often focus on the tangible outputs of the project. These outputs are normally measured on a continuous basis through the life of the project using various monitoring and evaluation methods. These reports tell us what has been achieved during the li fe of the project. However, the process by which these outputs were achieved is not always clearly articulated. Detailing the process by which certain outputs are achieved can be a challenge as it requires a diachronic description of events. This is time and space consuming and often not relished by the readers. As a consequence, this usually gets left out by those who write project reports. What we provide below is a compilation of notes about the process of negotiating fisheries co -management arrangements. These notes are unlikely to be included in the formal reports of the project. These notes are an attempt to reflect on ¿how we did it¿ and what were the approaches taken in doing so. The final output of the fisheries co-management component of the project was the formation of five co-management centres along four districts of west coast of Aceh covering about a third of that coast line. These notes will provide a brief understanding of the process by which thi s was achieved. The first note (FAO/ARC/Co-Mgt/1/2010) provides a brief summary of the strategy adopted and how it was implemented with respect to the three primary stakeholders involved in the co-management initiative ¿ the coastal community; the fisher organisation and the officials of the fisheries department. The next three notes (FAO/ARC/Co-Mgt 2-4/2010) are a more detailed elaboration of the way we went about getting each of the three stakeholder groups engaged into the pro cess of negotiating the co-management arrangements. The final note (FAO/ARC/ Co-Mgt/5/2010) discusses briefly the role of women. As these notes are about the same process, some repetition in their contents is inevitable. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe fishing fleet in Aceh Province, Indonesia 2009
Also available in:
No results found.The fishing fleet of Aceh Province in Indonesia has been subject to much scrutiny over the last five years. In response to the impact of the tsunami in 2004, considerable national and international efforts have been directed at restoring the fishing fleet to pre-tsunami levels through a variety of fishing vessel building schemes. Complementary activities to assess the success of the fleet rehabilitation and development activities have also been carried out. This document provides an overview of the status of the fishing fleet in Aceh Province at the end of 2006 based on a fishing vessel census carried out in the province. It is hoped that this can be used as a reference in the sustainable restoration of the small-scale fisheries subsector in the province of Aceh, Indonesia.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -
Book (stand-alone)Corporate general interestPulses: nutritious seeds for a sustainable future 2016
The aim of raising global awareness on the multitude of benefits of pulses was integral to the International Year of Pulses. This coffee table book is part guide and part cookbook— informative without being technical. The book begins by giving an overview of pulses, and explains why they are an important food for the future.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition.
