Integrated agri-aquaculture in desert and arid lands - Learning from case studies from Algeria, Egypt and Oman
The FAO Regional Initiative on Water Scarcity (WSI), initiated in 2013, identified that lack of water resources is a potential disaster scenario for the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. The WSI initiative developed out of 31st Session of the FAO Near East and North Africa (NENA) Regional Conference held in Rome in May 2012, outcomes from the Hyogo Framework Agreement 2005 – 2015, and highlighted through work undertaken by the Arab Water Council in reports in 2004, 2012 and 2015. Several projects were started, including use of non-conventional water resources in integrated agriculture - aquaculture (IAA) systems within the NENA region. Agriculture is the largest food production typ...
Regional review on status and trends in aquaculture development in North America – 2020
This document summarizes the status and trends of aquaculture development in North America, focusing on Canada and the United States of America, with some discussion on Bermuda, Greenland, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon. Relevant aspects of the social and economic background of each country are followed by a description of current and evolving aquaculture practices and the needs of the industry in terms of resources, services and technologies. Impacts of aquaculture practices on the environment are discussed, followed by a consideration of the response by the industry to market demands and opportunities, and its contribution to social and economic development at regional, national and international levels. External pressures on the sector are described, including climate change and economic events, along with associated changes in governance. The review concludes with an analysis of the contributions of North American aquaculture to the Sustainable Development Goals, the FAO Strategic Objectives, and the FAO Blue Growth Initiative. Throughout the review, outstanding issues and success stories are identified, and a way forward is suggested for each main topic.
Emerging Sustainable Aquaculture Innovations in Africa
This edited book presents the emerging sustainable innovations in all areas of aquaculture in Africa with a view to create an opportunity whereby scientific outputs and recommendations can be endorsed for improved aquaculture outputs towards poverty alleviation and food security on the continent. Food insecurity and poverty are some of the challenges faced on the African continent. These challenges are further exacerbated by the growing human population and the impacts of climate change. Today, aquaculture has become one of the fastest food producing sectors in the world, with the potential to contribute significantly to food security and poverty alleviation in developing countries. In Afric...
Safety and quality of water used in the production and processing of fish and fishery products
In 2020, the 43rd Session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission approved the “Development of Guidelines for the Safe Use and Reuse of Water in Food Production” proposed at the 51st Session of the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene. To support this work, JEMRA was asked to provide scientific advice on sector-specific applications and case studies for determining appropriate and fit-for-purpose microbiological criteria for water sourcing, use and reuse in fish and fishery products from primary production to retail. This report presented the outcome from the JEMRA meeting, which includes the: situation analysis concerning water use and reuse in the production and processing of fish and fishery products, analysis of case studies for different risk-based water use and reuse processing scenarios and species, water quality monitoring and the use of non-culture based microbiological methods, recommendations concerning the safety and quality of water used in fish production and processing, and critical research gaps and policy developments.
The State of Food and Agriculture 2020
Intensifying water constraints threaten food security and nutrition. Thus, urgent action is needed to make water use in agriculture more sustainable and equitable. Irrigated agriculture remains by far the largest user of freshwater, but scarcity of freshwater is a growing problem owing to increasing demand and competition for freshwater resources. At the same time, rainfed agriculture is facing increasing precipitation variability driven by climate change. These trends will exacerbate disputes among water users and inequality in access to water, especially for small-scale farmers, the rural poor and other vulnerable populations. The State of Food and Agriculture 2020 presents new estimates o...
2020年粮食及农业状况
愈演愈烈的缺水问题对粮食安全和营养构成威胁。因此，迫切需要采取行动，在农业生产中更可持续、更公平地利用水资源。灌溉农业依然是淡水资源的最大用户，但随着对淡水资源的需求和竞争不断升级，淡水资源短缺问题正日益加重。同时，雨养农业正面临气候变化带来的降雨波动幅度不断加大的问题。这些趋势将加剧水资源使用者之间的矛盾纠纷和水资源获取方面的不平等，尤其对小农、农村贫困人口及其他弱势群体而言。《2020年粮食及农业状况》就灌溉农业中普遍存在的水资源短缺问题、雨养农业中普遍存在的水资...
2020 حالة الأغذية والزراعة
إنّ القيود المكثّفة المتصلة بالمياه تهدّد الأمن الغذائي والتغذية. وبالتالي، ثمة حاجة ملحّة إلى اتخاذ الإجراءات اللازمة لجعل استخدام المياه في الزراعة مستدامًا ومنصفًا على نحو أكبر. ومع أنّ الزراعة المروية لا تزال أكبر القطاعات المستخدمة للمياه العذبة على الإطلاق، إلا أن ندرة المياه العذبة تطرح مشكلة تتفاقم أكثر فأكثر بسبب تزايد الطلب والمنافسة على موارد المياه العذبة. وفي الوقت ...
El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación 2020
Limitaciones cada vez mayores del abastecimiento hídrico amenazan la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. Por consiguiente, se hace necesario actuar con urgencia a fin de lograr un uso más sostenible y equitativo del agua en la agricultura. La producción agrícola de regadío sigue siendo, de lejos, el principal usuario de agua dulce, pero la escasez de este recurso constituye un problema cada vez mayor debido al incremento de la demanda y a la competencia por su utilización. Al mismo tiempo, la agricultura de secano se enfrenta a la creciente variabilidad de las precipitaciones como consecuencia del cambio climático. Estas tendencias exacerbarán las disputas entre usuarios del agua ...
Положение дел в области продовольствия и сельского хозяйства 2020
Усиление дефицита водных ресурсов представляет угрозу для продовольственной безопасности и питания. Это означает, что необходимо принять срочные меры, которые позволят повысить устойчивость водопользования в сельском хозяйстве и обеспечить равноправный доступ к воде. Крупнейшим потребителем пресной воды по-прежнему остается орошаемое земледелие, но из-за увеличения спроса ...
