Название: Watershed Management in Action: Lessons Learned from FAO Field Projects ISBN: 9251300143 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251300145 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 76690.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Watershed management has gained momentum over the past decade as a holistic way of conserving water, land and biodiversity resources while sustaining livelihoods. This publication looks at how 12 projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America are using the approach to devise local solutions to global challenges. In Ecuador’s Mount Chimborazo for example, pilot schemes were put in place to compensate upstream inhabitants for sustaining ecosystem services, targeting users such as the hydroelectric company and flower nurseries. In Pakistan’s earthquake-affected areas, a watershed management project contributed not only to the rehabilitation of roads and irrigation channels but also to the diversification of food and income sources. These and other examples are presented in the publication, which looks at both the strengths and weaknesses of the approach and highlights the need for stronger governance and long-term sustainability.

Описание: The 2018 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture emphasises 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.

Описание: Fisheries and aquaculture support the livelihoods of millions of people around the world. In rural and coastal communities they often play a key role in a society's culture and identity. Fish is also a healthy and nutritious food, with the potential to feed our growing planet. But as the population grows, the demand for fish rises, and our natural resources are increasingly stressed. Sustainable management and development is crucial to preserving these resources for future generations. FAO's Blue Growth Initiative emphasizes the three pillars of sustainable development – social, economic, and environmental – so that fisheries and aquaculture contribute to the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
