Integrated irrigation and aquaculture in West Africa. Concepts, practices and potential
Edited by: Matthias Halwart, Anne A. van Dam
Rome, 2006, 196 pp.
ISBN 92-5-105491-6
TC/M/A0444/E
$22.00
This volume contains background documents and papers presented at the FAO-WARDA Workshop on Integrated Irrigation Aquaculture (IIA) held in Bamako, Mali, from 4 to 7 November 2003, as well as the findings of FAO expert missions on IIA in the West Africa region. The rationale for IIA development lies in its potential to increase productivity of scarce freshwater resources for improved livelihoods and to reduce pressure on natural resources, which is particularly important in the drought-prone countries of West Africa where water scarcity, food security and environmental degradation are priority issues for policy makers. Irrigated systems, floodplains and inland valley bottoms are identified as the three main target environments for IIA in West Africa. Many examples of current practices, constraints and potential for development of IIA are provided. Concepts of economic analyses of IIA are reviewed, and an overview of regional and international research institutions and networks and their mandates as it relates to IIA is given. Key factors for successful adoption of IIA - participation of stakeholders and support for local development; an integrated, multisectoral approach to IIA; and improved knowledge management and networking - indicate the way forward and are reflected in a proposal for IIA development in West Africa.

Food security is a major global concern. It depends to a considerable extent on efficient plant nutrition. Extensive information on various aspects of plant nutrition has been generated in the recent past. However, this information remains scattered in several publications. This bulletin provides comprehensive updated coverage of the key aspects of plant nutrition with special reference to integrated nutrient management for crop production. The topics covered include: present and future demand for plant nutrients; food security and agricultural production; plant nutrients and the basics of plant nutrition; soil fertility and crop production; sources of plant nutrients and soil amendments; optimizing plant nutrition; guidelines for the management of plant nutrients and their sources; nutrient management guidelines for major field crops; economic and policy issues of plant nutrition; plant nutrition, food quality and consumer health; and plant nutrition and environmental issues.

Nutrition Education in Primary Schools. A planning guide for curriculum development
Rome, 2005, 2 spiralbound volumes in a bookcase with a set of worksheets and a classroom curriculum chart with nutrition education learning objectives for students of different ages

Healthy, well-nourished and educated people are a country's most precious asset for achieving economic and social development. Access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food is essential for reaching this goal. However, this by itself is not enough. People also need to understand what constitutes an appropriate diet for health, and they need to have the skills and the motivation to make proper food choices and practice healthy eating habits. Helping people to do so is the role of nutrition education.
Many eating habits are formed during childhood and they can last a lifetime. It is therefore important for children to learn the benefits of good nutrition and to develop healthy eating habits. Schools are an excellent setting for bringing nutrition education to children at an early stage and through qualified staff.
FAO has prepared this Planning Guide to assist educators worldwide in establishing an effective nutrition education programme that encourages behaviour change. The material can be used at national or local level and is intended for use by a team of educators and health staff, including education inspectors, curriculum planners, teacher educators, teachers, nutritionists and health workers.

Le présent document met à jour les études périodiques de l'état des pêches marines et des ressources halieutiques mondiales, principalement sur la base des statistiques officielles des captures de 2002, et des évaluations pertinentes des stocks et d'autres informations complémentaires disponibles jusqu'en 2004. Les chapitres d'introduction décrivent la situation mondiale et les principales tendances de la production des pêches marines mondiales, ainsi que l'état des ressources halieutiques marines mondiales. Des informations plus détaillées sur chaque zone statistique de la FAO sont accompagnées d'une analyse des principales tendances et des changements qui ont affecté les principales ressources halieutiques exploitées dans chaque zone, ainsi que de commentaires sur les évaluations des stocks entreprises pour faciliter la gestion des pêcheries dans chaque région. Des dossiers spéciaux sont consacrés à la situation mondiale des thonidés et espèces apparentées, ainsi qu'à d'autres sujets actuellement au centre de l'actualité comme les ressources mondiales en calmars, les pêches en eaux profondes, et les corrélations entre les changements climatiques à long terme et la pêche. Des tableaux de synthèse concernant chaque zone statistique récapitulent les captures passées et récentes des principales ressources marines, et sont accompagnés d'appréciations sur leur niveau d'exploitation actuel.

Guide rapide pour les missions. Analyse des institutions locales et des moyens d`existence

Les efforts pour réduire la pauvreté échouent fréquemment ou ne sont pas durables parce qu'ils ne comprennent pas pleinement les institutions locales et les façons dont celles-ci influencent les moyens d'existence des pauvres. Ce Guide rapide pour les missions a été conçu pour être utilisé par les non spécialistes, les consultants et les membres ordinaires des équipes multidisciplinaires des organismes de développement et des projets pour assister les missions sur le terrain à mieux comprendre comment les institutions locales influencent les moyens d'existence des ménages ruraux, surtout des pauvres et comment intégrer cette compréhension dans le plan, la mise en œuvre et l'évaluation des projets spécifiques, des programmes et des activités du terrain. Le guide n'a pas la prétention d'être exhaustif mais plutôt un point de départ pour assister les membres de la mission à acquérir un nouveau point de vue sur le travail de développement avec les très pauvres et pour mieux établir leur conception de projet dans la réalité.

Los esfuerzos por reducir la pobreza fracasan frecuentemente o son insostenibles porque no entienden completamente las instituciones locales ni las formas en que tales instituciones influyen en los medios de vida de los pobres. Esta Guía Rápida ha sido diseñada para ser usada por personas no especializadas, consultores y miembros comunes de equipos multidisciplinares de agencias de desarrollo, y prevé ayudar a las misiones en el terreno a entender mejor cómo afectan las instituciones locales a los medios de vida de los hogares rurales, especialmente a los pobres, y cómo incorporar este conocimiento al diseño, ejecución y evaluación de proyectos, programas y actividades en el terreno específicos. Esta guía no pretende ser exhaustiva, sino un punto de partida para ayudar a que los miembros de una misión adquieran una nueva perspectiva sobre el trabajo de desarrollo con los más pobres, así como para que el diseño de su proyecto se asiente de mejor forma en la realidad.

The Codex Alimentarius (Latin for "food law"or "food code") is a collection of internationally adopted food standards. Food labelling is the primary means of communication between the producer and seller of food on the one hand and the purchaser and consumer on the other. The "Guidelines for the production, processing, labelling and marketing of organically produced foods" are published in this compact format to allow their wide use and understanding by governments, regulatory authorities, food industries and retailers, and consumers.
