Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRural aquaculture in the Philipines 1999
Also available in:
No results found.As a follow-up of the publication on Rural Aquaculture: Overview and framework for country reviews - RAP Publication 1997/36, efforts have been made to review rural aquaculture in some of the major aquacultural countries in Asia and the Pacific Region. Rural Aquaculture in the Philippines is the first publication under this series, and it is expected that similar publications on other countries such as China, India, etc. would follow. In 1997, aquaculture production in the Philippines was 9 57,546 mt representing 34.6% of the total fisheries production. During the last ten years, aquaculture production has been growing at the average annual rate of 5.4%, with a negative growth only in 1997 mainly because of problems related to shrimp disease and pollution of mussel beds. In 1997, production from aquaculture was valued at PHP 27,400 million, representing 34% of the value of total fisheries production. Export earning from aquaculture products in 1997 was USD224 million, mainly from s hrimps and seaweeds. It is estimated that the total employment generated by aquaculture is over 300,000, in which women have a big share. It is important to note that, in the opinion of the author, the definition of rural aquaculture by Edwards and Demaine does not fit in the context of small-scale aquaculture in the rural Philippines. However, aquaculture in the Philippines is mostly small-scale and household/community based operations and it contributes to food security, employment, house hold income and foreign exchange earnings in no small way. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
