(Co-published with, and available from, Wiley-Blackwell - not available for sales from FAO). Proper fisheries management is essential for the future of hundreds of millions of people worldwide, and involves a complex and wide-ranging set of tasks. This book brings together a number of experts, whose chapters interlink to cover the major components of fisheries management, from small-scale, artisanal fisheries in developing countries to technology-intensive, large-scale fisheries in developed countries. Primarily aimed at those charged with over-seeing and implementing fisheries management, at regional, national, local or individual level, this practical, multi-disciplinary guide will also be useful to the many other types of individuals participating in different tasks and components of management: fishers, managers of fishing companies, conservationists, natural scientists, economists, social scientists, lawyers and others.

Today, globalization and homogenization have replaced local food cultures. The 12 case studies presented in this book show the wealth of knowledge in indigenous communities in diverse ecosystems, the richness of their food resources, the inherent strengths of the local traditional food systems, how people think about and use these foods, the influx of industrial and purchased food, and the circumstances of the nutrition transition in indigenous communities. The unique styles of conceptualizing food systems and writing about them were preserved. Photographs and tables accompany each chapter.
