Book (stand-alone)Technical studyMarine protected areas: Interactions with fisheries livelihoods and food security 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Building on work presented at the IUCN World Parks Congress (WPC) held in Sydney, Australia, on 12–19 November 2014, this document explores experiences with aquatic protected areas (PAs), marine protected areas (MPAs) and protected areas in inland waters in the context of livelihoods and food security. It includes: (i) ten papers reporting on the interface of MPA/protected areas with livelihoods and food security, based on case studies in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania; (ii) an eleventh contribution providing a more general overview of MPAs and food security and how to assess their impact; and (iii) a final paper synthesizing the conclusions of the papers and discussing the observed outcomes of aquatic PAs, together with problems and solutions. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the FAO Workshop on Impacts of Marine Protected Areas on Fisheries Yield, Fishing Communities and Ecosystems, Rome, Italy, 16-18 June 2015 2016
Also available in:
No results found.The workshop, which was organised by FAO in was organised in close collaboration with the University of Washington and the Environmental Defence Fund (EDF), took place in FAO, Rome, on 16-18 June 2015. In addition to FAO staff and consultants, 26 researchers and MPA practitioners from Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin and North America, and South Asia participated in a mix of plenary presentations, working-group discussions and feedback with plenary-based syntheses and future dire ctions. This report is the output of this workshop which was convened to bring together experts from different disciplines and parts of the world for an initial discussion that would lay the foundation for one or more future working groups that would examine how MPAs affect fisheries and fish and fishing communities, and provide guidance on how to optimise biodiversity, fisheries and livelihoods benefits. The workshop agreed on some tentative elements that could form the basis for further globa l and regional analyses including fisheries, environmental, social, economic and governance dimensions. The workshop outcomes provide a basis for further collaboration through multidisciplinary including experts from around the world. -

2012Also available in:
No results found.This document provides a summary of the workshop presentations, discussions, conclusions and recommendations of the workshop on Putting into practice the FAO Technical Guidelines on Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and Fisheries: MPAs as a potential management tool for sustainable fisheries in South and South East Asia which took place in Bangkok, Thailand, on 30 January – 1 February 2012. It was jointly organised by FAO, SEAFDEC and the BOBLME project. The workshop was organised in response to the recent publication of the FAO Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries on MPAs and Fisheries with the purpose of disseminating these Guidelines, supporting existing initiatives promoting effective MPA management and promoting cross-sectoral coordination and collaboration. Accordingly, the workshop objectives included: (i) to introduce the recently published FAO MPA and fisheries guidelines, (ii) to contribute to successful MPA management in the countries of South and South Eas t Asia, and (iii) to identify issues, best practices and critical processes and institutional/planning/ implementation elements for implementing MPAs in the context of fisheries.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
