Book (stand-alone)General interest bookNouvelles possibilités d’application des chaînes de blocs dans l’industrie agroalimentaire 2020La technologie des grands livres distribués (DLT) et les contrats intelligents sont une occasion unique d’accroître l’efficacité, la transparence et la traçabilité des échanges de valeur et d’informations dans le secteur agricole. Les DLT, qui s’appuient sur l’enregistrement numérique, la cryptographie et la désintermédiation du traitement des transactions et du stockage des données, peuvent améliorer de plusieurs façons les filières agricoles et les interventions en faveur du développement rural. Ils peuvent simplifier et intégrer les filières agricoles, améliorer la sécurité sanitaire des aliments, accroître l’accès au financement du commerce et à d’autres types de services financiers agricoles, améliorer la transparence des marchés, offrir une plus grande sécurité juridique aux systèmes de régime foncier et renforcer les responsabilités ayant trait au respect des accords internationaux relatifs à l’agriculture. Le présent document vise à mieux faire comprendre les possibilités, les avantages et les applications des DLT dans le secteur agroalimentaire. Il analyse le potentiel de cette technologie qui lui permettrait de relever un grand nombre des défis auxquels sont confrontés les acteurs défavorisés du marché en leur permettant de participer à des circuits intégrés. Il recense également les contraintes techniques et institutionnelles qui pourraient entraver leur adoption, ainsi que les perspectives du secteur public. Dans l’ensemble, il montre comment les DLT peuvent donner l’impulsion nécessaire pour réaliser les objectifs de développement durable (ODD).

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTracking Adaptation in Agricultural Sectors 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Tracking adaptation processes and outcomes is a continuous process which also encompasses monitoring and evaluation – one of the important elements of the climate change adaptation. A detailed review of existing literature on adaptation tracking tools showed a number of challenges and limitations related to their application in agricultural sectors. Though some of the tools are technically sound, practical use is constrained by non-availability of adequate baseline data and information. In addit ion, several of these frameworks are individual project specific, complex and thus seldom contribute to better informed policy level decisions and adaptation planning. This paper outlines the importance of tracking adaptation in the context of the implementation of the Paris Agreement and provides a flexible and consistent indicator framework for tracking adaptation in agricultural sectors (includes agriculture, forestry and fisheries and aquaculture) at national level. The framework is based on the recognition that adaptation should be tracked by analyzing a number of different indicators across agricultural sub-sectors. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest bookGender and ICTs - Mainstreaming gender in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for agriculture and rural development 2018
Also available in:
No results found.While the digital revolution is reaching rural areas in many developing countries, the rural digital divide continues to present considerable challenges. The problem is even more acute for women, who face a triple divide: digital, rural and gender. This publication looks at the benefits of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) when placed in the hands of men and women working in agriculture and in rural areas. It examines the challenges to be overcome and makes recommendations so that rural communities can take full and equal advantage of the technologies. FAO’s E-agriculture 10 Year Review Report on implementation of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) of the Action Line C7. ICT Applications: e-agriculture concludes that while substantial progress has been made in making ICTs available and accessible for rural communities, challenges remain with respect to the following seven critical factors for success: content, capacity development, gender and diversity, access and participation, partnerships, technologies, and finally, economic, social, and environmental sustainability. This publication analyses with the gender lens the seven factors of success, followed by an overview of the general existing barriers to women’s access to, control and use of ICTs. Finally, it offers a series of recommendations for better integration of gender in ICT initiatives, based on gender mainstreaming throughout the seven critical factors of success, illustrated with concrete examples -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRegional overview of aquaculture trends in the Asia-Pacific region 2014 2014
Also available in:
No results found.The Asia-Pacific region is the world’s leader in total aquaculture production. In 2012 the region produced 58.5 million tones of aquaculture products, accounting for 89 percent of global aquaculture production and compromising more than 225 species and species groups. The region contributed 79 percent of the global aquaculture value for 2012, with an average annual growth rate of 6.4 percent per year from 2002 to 2012. The purpose of this document is to inform member countries of the current st atus of aquaculture production by species, commodity group, group, country and subregion, and of important trends in aquaculture development in Asia and the Pacific. Data tables are included as annexes to the report.
