No results found.The adoption of more sustainable practices in agricultural production and trade is a primary concern for FAO. In the banana sector, the Horticultural Products Group of FAO’s Commodity and Trade Division, which holds the Secretariat of the Intergovernmental Group on Bananas and Tropical Fruits (IGG), is exploring what steps can be taken with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the private sector and governments to further the development of responsible banana production and trade. At its last meeting in May 1999, the IGG discussed the topics of fair trade and organic bananas, as well as other modes of sustainable banana production and trade. In order to initiate a process of dialogue, FAO held an expert meeting in Rome from 22 to 24 March 2000. The main goal of the meeting was to explore the scope for collaboration and for defining a common approach to environmentally and socially responsible banana production and trade. -

No results found.The Latin America and Caribbean Regional Consultative Meeting was one of three regional consultative workshops carried out as a follow-up to the 2009 inception workshop of the FAO Extrabudgetary Programme on Fisheries and Aquaculture for Poverty Alleviation and Food Security. The workshops built on the outcomes of the Global Conference on Small-scale Fisheries held in Bangkok in October 2008 and referred to the recommendations made by the 26th Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) in March 2009 with regard to the potential development of an international instrument and programme for Small-scale fisheries. The purpose of the workshops was to provide guidance on the scope and contents of such an international small-scale fisheries instrument and on the possible priorities and implementation modalities for a global assistance programme. It was organized around plenary presentations on key subjects and working group discussions. The workshop agreed that an international instrum ent on small-scale fisheries and a related programme would be important tools for securing sustainable small-scale fisheries. It recommended that a small-scale fisheries international instrument and assistance programme should be informed by human rights principles and existing instruments relevant to good governance and sustainable development, comprise the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) as a guiding principle for resource management and development, and incorporate Disaster Risk Managem ent (DRM) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) as an integral part considering that DRM is a continuum process, before, during and after a disaster. The instrument should draw upon the available experiences with good governance practices in small-scale fisheries at national, regional and global levels and strengthen mechanisms for information sharing and communication, including by regional and subregional organizations and by associations and networks of fishworkers organizations, both of men an d women, and civil society organizations (CSO). The instrument should draw on the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, as well as the international voluntary guidelines that are being developed under the auspices of FAO on land tenure and natural resources. It was recognized that there was a continuing need to promote the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries in small-scale fisheries. -
