ProjectFactsheetRenforcement de la sécurité alimentaire nationale et des revenus des ménages à Madagascar - GCP/MAG/087/CPR 2024
Also available in:
L’agriculture est considérée comme l’un des principaux moteurs de l’économie de Madagascar, représentant 26,4 pour cent du PIB du pays et assurant un emploi pour plus de 75 pour cent de la main-d’oeuvre. Malgré cela, la production agricole de Madagascar n’arrive pas à satisfaire les besoins alimentaires de sa population, dont une partie importante se trouve gravement touchée par l’insécurité alimentaire. En outre, le potentiel de Madagascar en termes de disponibilité de terres agricoles et de pâturages naturels, de ressources en eau, d’insularité, de biodiversité et de main-d’oeuvre jeune dans les zones rurales demeure très largement sous-exploité. Compte tenu de l’expertise chinoise dans les domaines susmentionnés, le Gouvernement de Madagascar a soumis une requête pour bénéficier du programme de Coopération Sud-Sud (CSS). -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureProgramme d’action mondial sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition dans les petits États insulaires en développement 2017La majorité des petits États insulaires en développement (PIED) sont confrontés au «triple fardeau» de la malnutrition, qui apparaît comme la coexistence de plusieurs facteurs tels que la dénutrition, les carences en micronutriments, le surpoids et l’obésité. Contribuant au Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030, le Programme d’action mondial sur la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle dans les petits États insulaires en développement offre un cadre aux PEID pour identifier et met tre en œuvre les actions prioritaires pour réaliser les objectifs relatifs à la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition. Ces actions peuvent améliorer la nutrition et le bien-être, réduire la pauvreté et les inégalités, et renforcer la croissance économique.

Book (series)Technical studyPacific oyster farming
A practical manual
2024Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of this manual is to give the reader a foundation of practical knowledge regarding all aspects of Pacific oyster cultivation. It is targeted at new entrants to the market wishing to establish a farm, and existing operators who wish to develop their farms and explore new cultivation techniques. The methodologies described can be applied both to low-tech, low budget, small-scale farming operations and to high-tech, big budget, industrial-scale aquaculture production enterprises. This guide focuses on the functional expertise and technical equipment required to construct and manage an operational farm in the diverse environmental and physical locations in which they can be situated, from the initial stages of finding and selecting a suitable site, to the conclusion of the first production cycle and harvesting the crop. The manual contains a brief introduction which describes the relevance of the species with regards to global aquaculture production figures and how it can form an important part of future food production strategies. Chapter 2 describes the anatomy and biology of Crassostrea gigas and gives an indication as to the environmental conditions in which the species thrives as well as the pathologies and predators that can result in poor health leading to potential mortalities. Chapter 3 deals with all aspects of undertaking a survey of potential oyster farming sites and what data should be collected and examined to assess a site’s suitability, but also which areas are best suited to different cultivation techniques. After this, Chapter 4 introduces the main farming techniques that will be described in detail in the following chapters, which includes off-bottom cultivation, on-bottom cultivation, and suspended cultivation, and gives details of some of the most common cultivation equipment necessary to undertake these operations. The techniques and strategies necessary to procure seed oysters and how to develop them through the nursery stage are also introduced. This includes the basic principles of upwelling, which then leads into Chapter 5, which provides a detailed description of how to build and operate one particular example of a Floating Upwelling System (Flupsy) which is suitable for use in remote but sheltered conditions. Chapters 6, 7 and 8 constitute the main body of the manual and provide an in-depth look into the three major cultivation techniques that this guide concentrates on: “Farming with trestles and bags in the intertidal zone”, “On-bottom cultivation in the intertidal or subtidal zone” and “Offshore longline cultivation”. -
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.
