No results found.The fourth meeting of the FAO/CECAF Working Group on the Assessment of Demersal Resources, Subgroup South met in Libreville, Gabon, from 6-15 September 2017. The overall objective of the Group is to contribute to the improvement of the management of demersal resources in Southwest Africa through assessment of the state of the stocks and the fisheries to ensure the best sustainable use of the resources for the benefit of the coastal countries. A total of around 53 stocks were analyzed and when possible assessed by the group. For each of these sections, information is provided on the fisheries, sampling scheme and intensity, biological characteristics, stock identity, trends (catch, effort, biological data and abundance indices), assessment, management recommendations and future research. As for the previous meeting of the Working Group in 2011, trends and quality of the basic data (catch, effort and length frequencies) collected by each country, were one the main topics of discussion during the 2017 Working Group meeting. The results of the assessments show that some of the stocks analyzed are fully to overexploited, and the working group thus recommended that fishing effort should be reduced for the overexploited stocks or not increased for the other stocks, to avoid further decreas. For most of the stocks assessed, the only series of stock abundance indices available were commercial CPUE data series. When possible, recommendations on catch levels are also indicated for each stock. Given that most demersal fisheries in the region are multi specific, an overall reduction in fishing effort is necessary. A summary of the assessments and management recommendations is given in Table 8. La quatrième réunion du Groupe de travail FAO/COPACE sur l'évaluation des ressources démersales, sous-groupe Sud s’est tenu à Libreville, Gabon, du 6 au 15 septembre 2017. L'objectif global du Groupe de travail est d’évaluer l’état des ressources démersales dans la zone COPACE Sud et de faire des recommandations sur les options d’aménagement et d’exploitation des pêcheries pour assurer une utilisation optimale et durable de ces ressources au profit des pays côtiers. Au total, environ 53 stocks ont été analysés, et, lorsque cela a été possible, ils ont été évalués par le groupe de travail. Pour chacun de ces groupes, des informations sont fournies sur les pêcheries, les schémas et l’intensité d’échantillonnage, les caractéristiques biologiques, l’identité du stock, les tendances des données (capture, effort, données biologiques et indices d’abondance), les évaluations, les recommandations d’aménagement et recherches futures. Comme dans la réunion précédente du Groupe de travail qui s’est tenue en 2011, parmi les principaux thèmes de discussion de la réunion de 2017, on peut citer les questions relatives à la qualité et aux tendances des données de base collectées par chaque pays (captures, effort et distribution de taille). Les résultats des évaluations montrent que de nombreux stocks analysés sont pleinement exploités ou surexploités. Le Groupe de travail a donc recommandé que l’effort de pêche soit réduit pour les stocks surexploités et n’augmente pas pour les autres afin d’éviter leur épuisement dans le futur. Pour la plupart des stocks évalués, les seuls indices disponibles de l’abondance du stock étaient les données de CPUE commerciales. Lorsque cela a été possible, des recommandations sur le niveau des captures sont aussi indiquées pour chaque stock. Étant donné que la plupart des pêcheries de la région sont multispécifiques, une réduction générale de l’effort de pêche est nécessaire. Le résumé des évaluations et des recommandations d’aménagement est fourni dans le tableau 8. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the FAO/CECAF Working Group on the Assessment of Demersal Resources - Subgroup North. Saly, Senegal, 14-23 September 2004. / Rapport du Groupe de travail FAO/COPACE sur l’évaluation des ressources démersales - Sous-groupe Nord. Saly, Sénégal, 14-23 septembre 2004. 2006

No results found.A permanent FAO/CECAF Working Group composed of scientists from the coastal countries and from those countries or organizations playing an active role in demersal fisheries in Central-West Africa, was created by CECAF in 2000. The first meeting of Subgroup North was organized in Saly, Senegal, from 14 to 23 September 2004. The overall objective of the Group is to contribute to the improvement of the management of demersal resources in Northwest Africa through assessment of the state of stocks and fisheries to ensure the best sustainable use of the resources for the benefit of coastal countries. The study zone for the Working Group is the CECAF zone of the Central-East Atlantic Ocean between Cap Spartel and the south of Senegal. For reasons of heterogeneity, the species and stocks of the demersal Working Group were divided into four groups: hake, other demersals, shrimps and cephalopods. For each of these groups information is provided on the fisheries: sampling sche mes and sampling intensity, biological characteristics, stock identity, trends (catch, effort, biological data and abundance indices), assessment, management recommendations and future research. Approximately 22 different stocks-units were analysed and the results discussed. The quality and trends in basic data (catch, effort, length distribution) collected by each different country and the sampling system, represented some of the main discussion topics of the second meeting 2004 of this Working Group. The Working Group decided that the majority of the demersal stocks were fully exploited and that, for some of them, the fishing effort should be heavily reduced. A summary of the assessments and management measures is given at the end of this report. -

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 Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideManual para manipuladores de alimentos: alumno 2017Las enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos (ETA) son uno de los problemas de salud pública que se presentan con más frecuencia en la vida cotidiana de la población. Los peligros causales de las ETA, pueden provenir de las diferentes etapas que existen a lo largo de la cadena alimentaria (desde la producción primaria hasta la mesa). Independientemente del origen de la contaminación, una vez que este alimento llega al consumidor puede ocurrir un impacto en la salud pública y un severo daño económico a los establecimientos dedicados a su preparación y venta. Ambos eventos, pueden provocar la pérdida de confianza y el cierre del negocio. Por fortuna, las medidas para evitar la contaminación de los alimentos son muy sencillas y pueden ser aplicadas por quien quiera que los manipule, aprendiendo simples reglas para su manejo higiénico. Este manual tiene el propósito de llevar a las personas que manipulan alimentos, pero en especial a los trabajadores de este rubro, el conocimiento necesario que les facilite aplicar pautas correctas en su trabajo cotidiano. Junto con lo anterior, se busca ofrecer la información base en materia de inocuidad de los alimentos, para que los países de América Latina y el Caribe (LAC) adapten los conocimientos expresados en el manual a las necesidades particulares de cada país. El manual está estructurado en tres módulos y sus anexos, que hacen relación a los siguientes temas: 1) Peligros de los alimentos; 2) Enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos (ETA); y 3) Medidas higiénicas para prevenir la contaminación de los alimentos. La evaluación forma parte de la etapa final de este Manual. El objetivo aquí es verificar los conocimientos aprendidos durante el desarrollo del curso sobre la importancia del manejo higiénico de los alimentos para la salud de la población.
