Report of a mission, 13 August - 10 October 1989
1992Also available in:
No results found.A three-member ALCOM mission visited Zambia during August-October 1989, to study and promote the integration of fish farming into the traditional farm household system in Luapula province. The mission spent six weeks in Luapula province and two weeks in Lusaka. Information was gathered on household resources and production systems. Political, economic and socio-economic data were also collected. Besides studying available and published information, the mission met key officials from governme nt, private institutions, development agencies, and the church, besides individuals with long experience in Luapula. Several field visits were made, in the course of which 34 individual fish farmers were interviewed. Representatives from three schools and a training institute that had ponds, a fish farming project for handicapped people, two farmers without fish ponds, and several fishermen and fisherwomen were also interviewed. Three group interviews were conducted. The mission focused on fou r of the five districts of Luapula province: Mansa, Mwense, Kawambwa and Samfya. Farm household systems in the province generally encompass five productions systems: crop, livestock and poultry, fishing, fish farming and utilization. The crop production system is composed of three sub-systems:-chitemene : shifting cultivation system producing mainly food crops; farm : permanent or semi-permanent dry land agriculture productions systems producing both cash and food crops; garden : irrigat ed crop production system mainly producing food crops. The livestock system is of minor relevance in the Province. However, poultry are found in every household. Fishing activities are important in areas along the Luapula River, Lake Mweru and Lake Bangweulu. The fishermen of the Bangweulu Lake and swamps spend an important part of their time in fishing camps on the islands or in the swamps. For them any other kind of activity is secondary. -

Also available in:
No results found.In 1988, ALCOM carried out a fish farmer survey in Luapula Province of Zambia in cooperation with the Department of Fisheries. Field work was done during June-August 1988. The purposes of the survey were: to describe the current situation of fish farmers and to find out how it can be improved; to identify the farmer who is likely to successfully raise fish in ponds; to describe how the farmers do that; and, to identify the constraints which farmers face. Agriculture in Luapula Provin ce is carried out at a subsistence level. Farmers spread their risks and assure their own sustenance by culturing several crops and by engaging in off-farm activities. A relatively small part of their total incomes is in the form of cash. About half of the adult male population in the province engage in capture fisheries or ancillary activities. In 1985 the production was estimated at about 23 000 tons. The conditions for fish farming are good. Land and water are available, and the population eat fish. About 280 farmers in the province engaged in fish farming in 1988. The survey was intended to cover about 25% of the practising farmers plus intending farmers. This meant a goal of 100 interviews. The survey was preceded by a Department of Fisheries census to identify existing (and past) farmers with fish ponds. The interviews were carried out during two visits in the course of June and August 1988. The survey team consisted of an aquaculturist and a social science graduate. Altogeth er 94 interviews were carried out of which 51 were with practising fish farmers, 20 with former fish farmers and 23 with potential fish farmers. The survey questionnaires were designed by ALCOM and slightly modified after their use in the North-Western Province.

Unasylva 252 - 2020年1月第71卷
2022本期Unasylva杂志旨在展示森林景观恢复（FLR）的机会和进展，这些机会和进展能扩大恢复的规模，以实现"波恩挑战"及其他国家和国际承诺（可持续发展目标（SDGs），《生物多样性公约》(CBD）2020年后议程、《联合国防治荒漠化公约》（UNCCD）土地退化零增长、《联合国气候变化框架公约》（UNFCCC）下的《巴黎协定》），并满足2021-2030年联合国生态系统恢复十年的需求。 杂志涉及与各受众相关的主题：i) 与所谓的 "一切照旧 "做法不同的旗舰恢复倡议，这些旗舰倡议能输送更多的资金，更好地赋予当地利益相关者权力，并通过合作伙伴联盟提供更多的技术援助；ii) 可以扩展森林景观恢复的技术进步，由于不同的原因（低成本、适应性、与许多生态系统和环境的相关性、易于实施等），这些技术进步很有可能成为主流。iii) 利于恢复的因素，即协调、政策环境、资源、知识和能力，这些因素都为在当地采取行动创造了有利条件。 -
