Institutional Strengthening in the Fisheries Sector, Bangladesh
1992Also available in:
No results found.Massive stocking of the open waters with nursery raised fingerlings and large-scale expansion of fish culture are two important strategies currently adopted in Bangladesh for increasing fish production. As a matter of policy, large size fingerling is being used for both open water stocking as well as pond aquaculture. Implementation of Asian Development Bank and World Bank sponsored Second and Third Fisheries Projects which has started stocking of fingerling in flood plains for rearing of mark et size fish has created a new demand for carp seed. These new projects stipulate that the number of 1012 cm size fingerling to be released in open waters every year about 400500 million. To achieve this target, private sector should significantly increase its fingerling production for supply to these projects. Moreover, technology of fingerling rearing as used now, in private sector, should be changed because for stocking in the natural waters, the fingerling should be reared at least up to 101 2 cm size. In some areas of the country (particularly in Jessore) private farmers are using effective methods and getting excellent results in producing of small size fingerling in multicrop system, but multicycle production of large size fingerling is not carried out at any part of the country. Moreover, in general, the present fry/fingerling production technology is characterized by inadequate pond preparation, improper manuring and supply of poor quality feed. (Production data of fish seed producers of the country are given in Table 1.) Further, the presently used management methods are not suitable for full utilization of production capacity of broodfish. With the improvement of broodfish preparation methodology the breeding season may be prolonged, facilitating multicycle production of fish seed.

Global, regional and country trends, 2000–2020
2022Also available in:
No results found.Agrifood systems account for one-third of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. They are generated in various ways: within the farm gate, through crop and livestock production; through land-use change; and in pre- and post-production processes, including food manufacturing, retail, household consumption and food disposal. According to the latest data, global agrifood systems emissions reached 16 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Gt CO2eq) in 2020, an increase of 9 percent since 2000. -
DocumentOther documentThe Future of food and agriculture: Trends and challenges—Overview 2017
This is a brief executive summary of the report of the same name, The future of food and agriculture
The purpose of this report is to increase understanding of the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and will face into the 21st century. Its analysis of 15 global trends provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. Most of the trends a re strongly interdependent and, combined, inform a set of 10 challenges to achieving food security and nutrition for all and making agriculture sustainable. ‘Business-as-usual’ is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies and natural resource management will be needed if we are to realize the full potential of food and agriculture to ensure a secure and healthy future for all people and the entire planet.

No results found.Although there is global consensus that women’s land rights are fundamental for the realization of food security and rural development, accurate and reliable statistics to monitor the attainment and realisation of these rights are still lacking. However, landownership and management statistics are becoming increasingly available as multiple international efforts are underway, including the ‘52 Minimum Set of Gender Indicators’ approved by the UN Statistical Commission, methodological work under the UN EDGE (Evidence for Data and Gender Equality) project on collecting sex disaggregated landownership data, and FAO World Programme of Agricultural Census 2000, all which encourage countries to compile and report key sex-disaggregated indicators, including those related to land rights. This document summarizes these current efforts to streamline and compile international statistics on gender and land in a unified framework, providing an entry point for the statistical work in the Gender and Land Rights Database (GLRD) The document also summarizes current available statistics in the database (and at global level) and future FAO's work to increase their availability, particularly to monitor targets of the SDGs.
