The rationale for more integrated approaches to aquaculture development is powerful: coastal aquaculture has brought significant benefits to both national economies and coastal people; aquaculture is highly vulnerable to pollution caused by other resource users; if poorly designed or managed it may cause pollution or the spread of disease; its impacts are often limited but incremental and cumulative; and it often takes place in areas where resource ownership or use rights are ill defined and ambiguous.

La France est depuis longtemps un partenaire fournisseur de ressources actif et généreux, qui oeuvre en liaison étroite avec la FAO pour promouvoir des objectifs communs de sécurité alimentaire et de développement agricole. L’expertise mise à disposition par la France contribue de manière cruciale à la réalisation du mandat de l’Organisation, et le pays joue un rôle majeur en catalysant une coopération mondiale et régionale.

The partnership between Indonesia and FAO began with the country’s membership of the Organization in 1948 and was strengthened with the opening of a country office in 1978. Over nearly 70 years, hundreds of FAO development and emergency programmes have successfully supported the country’s food and agriculture sector, including fisheries and forestry.

Compelling issues such as climate change and food security require multidisciplinary approaches and multistakeholder action in the process of social learning for adaptive livelihoods. This entails an increasing demand for information, knowledge and participation that puts the need for planned communication activities at the centre of development initiatives. The paper provides a conceptual framework to participatory communication applied to climate change adaptation and food security.

Over the past 15 years, FAO assistance to Belize has been delivered through approximately 85 interventions, including a focus on policy advice, advocacy and capacity building as well as emergency assistance and resource mobilization for the food and agriculture sector. More recently, resilience building and expansion of market access have become important features of cooperation. FAO’s support continues to be instrumental today, particularly in view of the country’s commitment to achieving food security and rural development.
