Food and Nutrition Security in Southern African Cities,
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: Поставка под заказ. 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: Pulses and Their by-Products as Animal Feed ISBN: 9251099154 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251099155 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 74850.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Pulses provide valuable products for animal feeding and thereby indirectly contribute to food security. These by-products are sources of protein and energy for animals and do not compete with human food. This publication aims to promote the use of pulses and their by-products in regions where many pulse by-products are simply dumped, but it also contains useful recommendations for countries that do already use pulse by-products. The publication will be of interest to extension workers, researchers, the feed industry, policy-makers and donors alike.
Название: Sustainable Management of Miombo Woodlands: Food Security, Nutrition and Wood Energy ISBN: 9251304238 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251304235 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 45270.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: A growing population, overharvesting of natural resources, and climate change impacts such as drought and fires are leaving insufficient time for many trees and associated species to regenerate naturally in the Miombo woodlands, posing a serious threat to the products and services of the area, and to the livelihoods that depend on them. Further compounding the problem, an enabling policy environment is lacking; the area is not being sustainably managed; there is limited willingness and ability to pay for and access energy-efficiency technologies; there is inadequate awareness and information, including technical capacity; and there are high poverty levels and limited access to microcredit facilities.The Miombo woodlands area is a vast African dryland forest ecosystem covering close to 2.7 million km2 across southern Africa (Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe). The woodlands are characterized by the dominance of Brachystegia species, either alone or in association with Julbernardia and Isoberlinia species. It is estimated that the woodlands – through their numerous goods and services which include various non-wood forest products (e.g. insects, mushrooms, fruits, tubers, medicine, fodder, honey, seeds) and woodfuels – currently sustain the livelihoods of more than 100 million rural poor and 50 million urban people. The charcoal sector alone employs vast numbers of rural people and offers additional income to many poor rural families.

Описание: The International Symposium on Food Security and Nutrition in the Age of Climate Change brought together 250 experts from around the world to discuss the role of food and agricultural systems in the fight against climate change and presented concrete multi-sector solutions to address this global issue. The event placed special emphasis on the regional realities of West Africa and the Canadian North, and benefited from the presence of young people and members of Indigenous and Northern communities directly affected by these issues. The symposium was held in response to the recent rise in global hunger, which coexists with various forms of malnutrition and is being exacerbated by the impacts of climate change on food security and food production. The publication has been divided into seven major themes: 1) Climate change, food security and nutrition: the issues; (2) The agriculture sectors in the context of climate change; (3) Food systems in the face of climate change; (4) Natural resources: challenges and solutions; (5) Food security and nutrition in a changing North; (6) Summary of solutions; (7) Strengthening and adapting regional and international cooperation.

Описание: This report seeks to accelerate progress toward the goals of a healthy and hunger-free Asia and the Pacific region in light of the slowdown that has become evident over the past three years. After years of gains in combating hunger, progress has stagnated in all parts of this vast region and nearly half a billion people remain undernourished.
