Описание: Drawing on lessons learned from FAO’s work with eleven African countries – Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia and Uganda, this report identifies key challenges regarding youth’s access to finance, land, technical services and information as well as the engagement of youth in policy-making processes.
According to the report, measures that empower young agri-entrepreneurs should be a key component of a sustainable development-centred investment promotion strategy. The realization of future generations’ food security, the sustainable transformation of food systems and the combat against unemployment and distress migration all depend upon the successful implementation of strategies to make the agri-food sector more attractive to youth. This, in turn, requires smart policy responses that will help young investors overcome the numerous barriers they face.
The report contains a set of key policy recommendations for the empowerment of young agri-entrepreneurs, including but not limited to developing clear targeting criteria that determine the conditions of access to incentive schemes, providing packages of incentives rather than stand-alone or isolated support interventions, and ensuring that the overall policy and legal framework empowers, rather than impedes, young agri- entrepreneurs’ investments.

Название: Freshwater Small Pelagic Fish and their Fisheries in the Major African Lakes and Reservoirs in Relation to Food Security and Nutrition ISBN: 9251308136 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251308134 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 53590.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: This paper reviews the role of pelagic fisheries for sustainable and healthy livelihoods in Africa. It reviews the biology of the most important pelagic species in lakes and reservoirs, as well as the impacts of environmental and climatic variation on their stocks. It also examines various capture techniques, potential improvements in processing, and the status of national and regional trade within Africa.
Small pelagic fish species represent the most high-yielding, eco-friendly, low CO2-emission and nourishing use of the high productive potential of African inland waters. However, a range of social, technical, economic, legal and policy barriers inhibit its full potential to improve nutrition in low-income populations. These include lack of enabling fisheries management legislation and food safety challenges in processing and marketing.
The analysis notes the importance of recognizing the neglected socio-economic and nutritional potential of small pelagic “low-value” fish. Moreover, it calls for better catch statistics and more regular productivity assessments, as well improvements in quality by upgrading post-harvest processing and marketing.
Название: Microplastics in Fisheries and Aquaculture: Status of Knowledge on their Occurrence and Implications for Aquatic Organisms and Food Safety ISBN: 9251098824 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251098820 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 97020.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This publication provides an overview of the occurrence and effects of microplastics on aquatic organisms. It makes recommendations regarding seafood safety and security, environmental risk assessment approaches and targeted monitoring of microplastics in the environment. The study provides detailed information on the most likely pathways in terms of sources, transport and distribution in both marine food chains and seafood value chains. It will provide a framework to assess the risks that may (or not) affect commercial fish stocks and consumers, and an understanding of the scope and limitations of current microplastic sampling techniques.

Sutton Название: Identification guide to the mesopelagic fishes of the central and south east Atlantic Ocean ISBN: 9251330948 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251330944 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 79470.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: This identification guide includes 552 species of mesopelagic fishes (i.e. fishes residing primarily between 200-1000 m depth during daytime) that are known to occur in the central and southeast Atlantic Ocean. Fully illustrated dichotomous keys to all taxa are provided.
Species are treated in detail, with accounts including the scientific name, FAO common name in English (where available), other useful characteristics, size, a distribution map, and one or more illustrations.
To further facilitate the identification of the taxa, captions and arrows are added to help users quickly locate their key morphological features. The guide is intended for both specialists and nonspecialists who have a working knowledge of ichthyology.
This comparative case study addresses central determinants of inequalities that persist in India and South Africa. The particular focus of the study is on programs aiming at the redistribution of land to the landless poor and these programs’ consequences. The central question is why extreme inequalities persist despite land redistribution programs that have been in place for decades and what role different actors and dominant ideas play in this. Beyond this empirical focus, the study transcends theoretical cleavages in the social sciences by following the basic ideas of Giddens’ Structurational Theory. An actor-centred approach is chosen as the primary tool for analysis. It is complemented with a structurational approach to discourse analysis for a detailed analysis of actors’ preferences.
