Book Description
Aquaculture is developing, expanding and intensifying in almost all regions of the world, except in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the sector appears to be capable of meeting the gap between future demand and supply for aquatic food, there are many constraints and challenges which must be addressed in order to at least maintain the present level of per capita consumption at the global level. Key issues are the need for enhanced enforcement of regulation and better governance of the sector, as well as greater producer participation in the decision-making and regulation process. This publication examines past trends in aquaculture development as well as the current global status, drawing on a number of national and regional reviews.

Book Description
Les contraintes croissantes qui pèsent sur l’eau menacent la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition. Il faut agir d’urgence pour que l’eau utilisée dans l’agriculture le soit de façon plus durable et plus équitable. L’agriculture irriguée reste de loin le principal utilisateur des ressources en eau douce, mais ces ressources font l’objet d’une demande croissante et d’une concurrence accrue qui créent des situations de rareté de plus en plus préoccupantes. L’agriculture pluviale, confrontée à la variabilité des précipitations sous l’effet du changement climatique, n’est pas non plus épargnée. Ces tendances ne feront qu’exacerber les conflits entre les divers utilisateurs et les inégalités dans l’accès à l’eau, en particulier au détriment des petits agriculteurs, des ruraux pauvres et des autres populations vulnérables. L’édition 2020 de La situation mondiale de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture présente de nouvelles estimations sur l’étendue de la rareté de l’eau dans l’agriculture irriguée et des pénuries d’eau dans l’agriculture pluviale, ainsi que sur le nombre de personnes touchées. Ces estimations font apparaître des écarts considérables entre les pays et également entre les régions à l’intérieur des pays. Les données rassemblées dans la présente édition servent de base à une réflexion sur les mesures que pourraient prendre les pays, compte tenu de la nature et de l’ampleur du problème mais aussi d’autres facteurs tels que les systèmes de production agricole, le niveau de développement et les structures politiques. On trouvera aussi des indications sur les priorités qui pourraient être suivies dans le choix des politiques et des interventions pour lutter contre les contraintes hydriques dans le secteur agricole tout en assurant un accès à l’eau efficient, durable et équitable.
The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture

ISBN: 9251316082
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
The conservation, sustainable use and development of aquatic genetic resources (AqGR) is critical to the future supply of fish. The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture is the first ever global assessment of these resources, with the scope of this first Report being limited to cultured AqGR and their wild relatives, within national jurisdiction. The Report draws on 92 reports from FAO member countries and five specially commissioned thematic background studies. The reporting countries are responsible for 96 percent of global aquaculture production. The Report sets the context with a review of the state of world’s aquaculture and fisheries and includes overviews of the uses and exchanges of AqGR, the drivers and trends impacting AqGR and the extent of ex situ and in situ conservation efforts. The Report also investigates the roles of stakeholders in AqGR and the levels of activity in research, education, training and extension, and reviews national policies and the levels of regional and international cooperation on AqGR. Finally, needs and challenges are assessed in the context of the findings from the data collected from the countries. The Report represents a snapshot of the present status of AqGR and forms a valuable technical reference document, particularly where it presents standardized key terminology and concepts.
Tackling Climate Change Through Livestock

Pages : 139
Book Description
Greenhouse gas emissions by the livestock sector could be cut by as much as 30 percent through the wider use of existing best practices and technologies. FAO conducted a detailed analysis of GHG emissions at multiple stages of various livestock supply chains, including the production and transport of animal feed, on-farm energy use, emissions from animal digestion and manure decay, as well as the post-slaughter transport, refrigeration and packaging of animal products. This report represents the most comprehensive estimate made to-date of livestocks contribution to global warming as well as the sectors potential to help tackle the problem. This publication is aimed at professionals in food and agriculture as well as policy makers.

This is an accessible guide to the vocabulary used in trade negotiations. It explains about 2,500 terms and concepts in simple language.

In addition it covers many of the trade-related activities, outcomes and terms used in other international organizations, such as the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the OECD. The last five years have seen a rapid spread in the formation of free-trade areas in all parts of the world. This dictionary allocates generous space to the vocabulary associated with such agreements. It offers clear explanations, for example, of the concepts used in the administration of preferential rules of origin. Additional areas covered include emerging trade issues and issues based particularly on developing-country concerns.

The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsPublisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251305625
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
The 2018 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture emphasizes the sector’s role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and measurement of progress towards these goals. It notes the particular contributions of inland and small-scale fisheries, and highlights the importance of rights-based governance for equitable and inclusive development. As in past editions, the publication begins with a global analysis of trends in fisheries and aquaculture production, stocks, processing and use, trade and consumption, based on the latest official statistics, along with a review of the status of the world’s fishing fleets and human engagement and governance in the sector. Topics explored in Parts 2 to 4 include aquatic biodiversity; the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture; climate change impacts and responses; the sector’s contribution to food security and human nutrition; and issues related to international trade, consumer protection and sustainable value chains. Global developments in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, selected ocean pollution concerns and FAO’s efforts to improve capture fishery data are also discussed. The issue concludes with the outlook for the sector, including projections to 2030. As always, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to- date information to a wide audience, including policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
