Book (series)ProceedingsProceedings of the EIFAAC workshop on the problems and challenges of climate change, and its impact on inland aquatic resources and fisheries of Europe
Rome, Italy, 8 April 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.The EIFAAC workshop on the problems and challenges of climate change, and its impact on inland aquatic resources and fisheries of Europe was held virtually on 8 April 2025. It was organized by the EIFAAC Secretariat and Inland Fisheries Ireland. The workshop was attended by 119 participants from 23 countries.The workshop brought together leading researchers with the aim to examine how climate change is impacting inland aquatic systems and fisheries. Across three thematic sessions, experts explored the ecological impacts, monitoring tools, and adaptation strategies for freshwater systems. Session 1 (From rivers to lakes) highlighted how hydrological extremes and shifting lake thermal regimes disrupt habitats and fish ecology. Session 2 (Climate change and conservation) focused on emerging tools like acoustic telemetry and thermal habitat models to track fish responses at individual and ecosystem levels. Session 3 (Region specific fisheries adaptation) showcased evidence-based approaches, including Ireland’s national warm water protocol. Collectively, the sessions outlined that adaptation must go beyond ecological vulnerability to include socio-economic resilience. Futureproofing of inland fisheries will require coordinated monitoring, cross-sector collaboration, and inclusive policy design. A core message emerged: climate adaptation must extend beyond vulnerability assessments to include ecological functions, socio-economic values, and adaptive capacity across multiple scales. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Pilot Workshop on the Application of Biotelemetry to Fish Studies for the Management of Inland Fisheries in West Africa. Sélingué, Mali, 29 January - 10 February 2001. 2002The Pilot Workshop on the Application of Biotelemetry to Fish Studies for the Management of Inland Fisheries in West Africa was held on the premises of the Office for Rural Development of Slingu (ODRS) in Slingu, Mali, from 29 January to 10 February 2001. The workshop was organized by the Institute of Research for Development (IRD, France), and in particular by its Bamako-based centre, in cooperation with the Institute of Rural Economy of Mali (IER) and the Office for Rural Development of Slingu , with the support of the University of Lige (Belgium) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The participants came from Benin, Burkina Faso, Cte d'Ivoire, Guinea and Mali. The aim of the workshop was to improve understanding of, and disseminate, biotelemetry, which is a very useful tool for the collection of the more precise information essential for improved sustainable management of aquatic resources.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
