This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review provides an overview of the status, trends, challenges and projections for aquaculture in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and evaluates the major trends during previous five years. While the sector still faces various internal and external challenges, the inherent natural potential of the region and rapidly increasing demand for fish has resulted in increased prioritization of aquaculture in almost all SSA countries and the African Union and subsidiary bodies have given special attention to the sector development. In order to realize its full potential, the SSA region needs to address a combination of overarching factors limiting aquaculture development so far, such as ineffective development approaches, weak governance frameworks, underdeveloped value chains and low availability as well as the high cost of key production inputs. Strengthened value chains for tilapia and catfish, promotion of new species, improved biosecurity, continued development of certification and associated harmonized best practices, improved information systems and innovations to address climate-change related impacts are some of the matters to be addressed. Financial institutions and private sector (national and international) have equally started investing, even though in the global picture such interventions may seem negligible, which makes the continent to call for more and higher levels technical and financial assistance from international partners. Upscale the status of production and productivity via healthy investments would help the sector to generate a variety of benefits including food security, livelihoods, employment, domestic and intra-regional markets, foreign currency income and other socio-economic benefits.

This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2016 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Meteorology, Aeronomy, Climatology, grade: 8.0/10, , course: Fisheries and Aquaculture, language: English, abstract: This paper is a review of the impacts of climate change on fisheries in Zambia. Climate change has been having a remarkable impact in several areas. One of the areas is the area of fisheries and aquaculture. The author reviewed many papers written on the topic of aquaculture and fisheries. Zambia, like many other countries, have been facing many impacts from climate change. The paper aims to provide some suggestions on the solutions to combat climate change impacts. The variability in climate has caused a lot of problems to both marine and fresh water aquatic ecosystems. These problems have spread to terrestrial ecosystems posing problems to fresh water aquaculture, forest ecosystems as well as agricultural ecosystems. Climate change has thus become a regional and global problem causing concerns over the preservation of these ecosystems for future generations. One of the results of climate change is global warming. It has been predicted that between 2010 and 2070 the world surface temperatures will increase by between 10 C to 2.70 C. This impact will affect the world economically, socially, environmentally and ecologically. This paper reviews works by experts as well as national and international organizations on impacts of climate change on aquaculture and fisheries in Zambia. It seeks to investigate the methods of mitigating and adapting to climate change which the Zambian government and stake holder organizations have put in place and may be able to put in place. Further the paper assesses the hindrances to adaptation and mitigation of climate change impacts in Zambia.
Book Synopsis Promotion of Sustainable Commercial Aquaculture in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Neil B. Ridler
Download or read book Promotion of Sustainable Commercial Aquaculture in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Neil B. Ridler and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 3. This document identifies elements of a legislation that will encourage the emergence of a sustainable commercial aquaculture. The aquaculture law of an individual country must provide the operator with a secure right to conduct aquaculture operations, to the property on which the farm will be located, to good quality water and to the produce. It must also ensure environmental sustainability, through permit or licence systems, without imposing unnecessary costs on applicants. Only proposals with the potential for serious environmental harm should be subjected to a full environmental impact assessment. Environmental supervision must extend to controls over the use of exotic species and products from modern biotechnology including genetically modified organisms, disease control and health management and to any water quality concerns created by the proposed project. To minimise costs, countries are encouraged to adopt a single window approach for the numerous approvals usually required for an aquaculture operation and screen initial applications. They could also consider creating a single agency to promote aquaculture and to monitor the progress of applications. Aquaculture regimes of selected African countries are measured against the elements required to encourage sustainable commercial aquaculture, and improvements that are applicable to all countries in sub-Sahara are suggested.

Book Synopsis Promoting climate-smart farming in sub-Saharan Africa by : Pye-Smith, Charlie
Download or read book Promoting climate-smart farming in sub-Saharan Africa written by Pye-Smith, Charlie and published by CTA. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate-smart agricultural innovations and policies are helping farmers to increase their resilience in the face of more frequent and adverse weather variabilities. As this booklet shows, projects supported by CTA in Eastern and Southern Africa are assisting pastoralists and smallholder farmers adapt to climate change by adopting a number of important measures. Access to accurate, geo-referenced weather information and agronomic tips is leading to better decision-making. The planting of drought-tolerant varieties of staple crops is increasing yields and incomes. Index-based insurance is helping farmers to survive droughts and other weather shocks. These projects show that climate-smart strategies can raise agricultural production and improve living standards.

Book Synopsis Impacts of Climate Change and Variability on Pastoralist Women in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Melese Getu
Download or read book Impacts of Climate Change and Variability on Pastoralist Women in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Melese Getu and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term climate change is used to denote any significant but extended change in the measures of climate. The changes could be due to natural variability or as a result of human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels to produce energy, deforestation, industrial processes, and some agricultural practices. Such activities release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere that hang like a blanket around the earth, thus trapping energy in the atmosphere and causing it to warm up. This results increasingly in climate variability, which is characterised by extreme seasonal, annual, temporal and non-spatial variability in temperature, vagaries of precipitation (rainfall patterns and amounts) and/or wind patterns occurring over a prolonged period of time. The last decade (2001 - 2010) has been the warmest on record; with the average temperatures reaching 0.46∞C, above the 1961 - 1990 mean, and 0.21∞C warmer than the 1991 - 2000 period. It has been proved that the African continent is warming up faster, all year-round, than the global avera≥ a trend that is likely to continue. By the year 2100, it is predicted that temperature changes will fall into ranges of about 1.4∞C to nearly 5.8∞C increase in mean surface temperature compared to 1990, and the mean sea level will rise between 10cm to 90 cm (AMCEN 2011). The interior of semiarid margins of the Sahara and central southern Africa will be the most affected by such warming (AMCEN 2011). To tackle the phenomenon of climate change effectively, human societies have put in place a combination of mitigation and adaptation mechanisms and strategies. Whereas mitigation aims at avoiding or lessening the impacts of the unmanageable, the goal of adaptation is to manage the unavoidable. That men and women are affected differently by climate change suggests that they also differ in terms of the adaptation mechanisms they employ. Despite the existence of gender-based differences in the effects of climate change and in adaptation and coping strategies, studies on the gender differential impacts of climate change and variability on women in general and pastoralist women in particular in sub-Saharan Africa are limited. This volume offers insights and knowledge that pastoralist women developed on climate change adaptation through their experiences in their households and communities and thereby tries to narrow this gap.

This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fisheries and aquaculture is a sector of special importance to food security, nutrition and livelihood in the Asia-Pacific Region, which can be significantly impacted by climate changes and related disaster risks. Effectively addressing climate change impacts and managing disaster risks in fisheries and aquaculture sector are vitally important to building resilience of the sector for sustained and greater contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to ending hunger, poverty eradication and sustainable use of natural resources. FAO member countries in the region have been making good effort and significant progress in addressing climate change impacts and related disaster risks with support of international communities. A FAO regional consultative workshop was convened to bring together a wide range of players including country governments, regional organizations and other partners to share their knowledge and good practices in addressing climate change implications for fisheries and aquaculture in the region, to assess the progress made in addressing issues with marine capture fisheries, inland capture fisheries, coastal aquaculture and inland aquaculture in the context of climate change adaptation and mitigation in implementing the national plan of actions for addressing climate change in fisheries and aquaculture, and to recommend strategies for addressing institutional and capacity gaps in building climate-resilience fisheries and aquaculture industry in the region. The publication is the compilation of the workshop executive report, background technical papers, extended summary of presentations by representatives from participating government and FAO partners, and the workshop conclusions and recommendations.
