    Catalogue of small-scale fishing gear of Ghana 1984
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The small-scale fishing industry of Ghana is well developed and produces approximately 70 percent of the total fish production of the country. The small-scale fishery is practised essentially with dugout canoes and utilizes various types of fishing gear well adapted to this type of craft and the local fishing conditions. The presence of the Ghanaian fishermen with their canoes and gear all along the west coast of Africa shows the influence the Ghanaian canoe fisheries have had on the fisheries of other West African countries. This catalogue has been prepared on the basis of the available information from previous fishing gear and craft surveys carried out by P.P. Dinglasan, fisheries technologist, UNDP/FAO project GHA/65/508, 1972, and the Research Branch of the Fisheries Department of Ghana in 1978. It gives details and illustrations of most types of canoes and fishing gear used in the small-scale fisheries. Fishing gear designs differ often from village to village and from fish erman to fisherman, so this catalogue presents only the most representative fishing gear used in Ghana. The range is sufficient for users to select gear appropriate to local fishing conditions. Figure 1 is a coastal map of Ghana, showing the 200 m contour line and the most important lagoons and rivers. The main purpose of this work is to make available basic information from which improvements or innovations in design and construction of small-scale fishing gear can evolve. This catalogue is intended for masterfishermen, fishing technologists, fisheries officers, training instructors and extension workers and to be used for reference in Ghana and in other neighbouring countries.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

    Also available in:

    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.
