No results found.The Technical Consultation on the Precautionary Approach to Capture Fisheries (including species introductions), organized at the initiative of the Government of Sweden and in cooperation with FAO, was held from 6 to 13 June 1995, in the Institute of Marine Research (Lysekil, Sweden), under the aegis of the Swedish National Board of Fisheries. The meeting, opened by the Swedish Ministry of Agriculture, Mrs Margareta Winberg, was chaired by Mr Per Wramner, assisted by Messrs Serge Gar cia (FAO, Vice Chairman) and Armin Lindquist and was attended by 34 participants from 15 countries and FAO. The meeting considered seven scientific papers produced in advance of the meeting, by some of the participants, as a basis for the discussions. It produced a set of guidelines for the practical implementation of the precautionary approach to fisheries (published in the FAO Fisheries Technical Papers Series). -

ProjectFactsheetProjet pilote d’introduction et de multiplication de boutures de manioc ameliorées et résistantes à la mosaïque africaine et la striure brune - TCP/CAF/3804 2024

No results found.La République centrafricaine dispose d’un immense potentiel agricole avec 15 millions d’hectares de terres arables, 16 millions d’hectares de pâturages, et un réseau hydrographique dense, ce qui pourrait garantir son autosuffisance alimentaire. Cependant, malgré ces ressources naturelles considérables, les performances agricoles restent faibles en raison du manque de ressources adaptées et de technologies pour leur valorisation. Le manioc est la principale culture vivrière du pays, avec une production de 2 900 000 tonnes de tubercules frais en 2017, ce qui équivaut à 725 000 tonnes de cossettes. Il est suivi par l’igname, avec une production de 476 000 tonnes, et le maïs, avec 90 000 tonnes. Cependant, la culture du manioc est confrontée à plusieurs défis: des baisses de rendement et de production lors de la récolte, un manque crucial de matériel végétal performant et sain à haut rendement, ainsi que des menaces provenant des ravageurs et des maladies phytosanitaires telles que la mosaïque et la striure brune, qui affectent le pays avec une incidence moyenne de 84 pour cent. Cette contamination est principalement due à l’utilisation de boutures virosées (79 pour cent) lors de la replantation des parcelles.

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”. -
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.
