Report of the FAO technical workshop on advancing aquaponics: an efficient use of limited resources, Bogor, Indonesia, 23–26 November 2015. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Report No. 1133. Rome, Italy. ABSTRACT A technical training workshop on advancing aquaponics was held in Bogor, Indonesia, on 23–26 November 2015. Eleven international participants were present from ten countries (Colombia, Fiji, Ghana, Kenya, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Samoa and Timor-Leste) and one regional scientific and technical organization (Secretariat of the Pacific Community). The workshop was a product of a side-event during the Thirty-first Session of the Committee on Fisheries presented by the Indonesian delegation on the topic of bumina/yumina, a special form of aquaponics appropriate for developing nations. The term bumina/yumina was introduced on World Food Day in Padang (2012) and in Rome (2014) by the head of the Agency for Marine and Fisheries Research and Development as part of Indonesia’s blue growth philosophy. The four-day workshop was convened by FAO and consisted of lectures, demonstrations and hands-on activities supported by aquaponics experts from the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries and Ministry of Agriculture and was supported by FAO technical officers and aquaponics consultants. Recommendations were gathered based on participant feedback and included: (i) education, training and communication; (ii) research and development; (iii) socio-economic and feasibility studies; (iv) regional and international cooperation; and (v) capacity development of an enabling environment at the national level. v CONTENTS Page BACKGROUND ................................................................................................................... 1 COUNTRY SELECTION AND PARTICIPANTS IDENTIFICATION ............................. 2 WORKSHOP PARTNERS ................................................................................................... 3 WORKSHOP AGENDA AND PROGRAMME .................................................................. 3 OPENING REMARKS ......................................................................................................... 4 COUNTRY REPORTS ......................................................................................................... 5 WORKSHOP SATISFACTION SURVEY ........................................................................ 10 WORKSHOP RECOMMENDATIONS ............................................................................. 10 APPENDIXES 1.

  • Chapter One Introduction
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Overview The lubricant sub-sector of the downstream industry is one with so many potential that is capable of being a major source of revenue earner for the country, and has grown over the years with increase in the number of second hand passenger and commercial vehicles in the country calling for more frequent lubricant changes. Though Nigeria has an installed lubricant capacity of 600, 000 metric tonnes the current demand is 700 million litres which is about 1% of global demand. The lubricants market is driven by various steps being taken by government such as initiatives to increase the ease of doing business to boost manufacturing sector activities and the Nigeria Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) to emphasize investment in infrastructure. With the increase of import duty on finished lubricants to 30% and the recent 7.5 percent VAT on finished lubes in the country, the sectors have been opened up for further investment and the proposed project considered in this study is set to explore the given opportunity. Though there are presently 34 lube blending plants in Nigeria, only two of these (5.9%) are located in the south- south region of the country (DPR, 2020). This proposed lubricating oil blending plant project by Eraskon Nigeria Ltd is thus a private effort to support the government of Nigeria on how local production of lubricant can be increased to boost its domestic availability especially in the south-south region of the country. 1.2 Project Proponent Eraskon Nigeria Limited is a lubricant oil manufacturing company incorporated in Nigeria by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) with RC No.

    Timeline / 1810 to 1930 Date Country Theme 1810 - 1880 Tunisia Fine And Applied Arts Buildings present innovation in their architecture, decoration and positioning. Palaces, patrician houses and mosques incorporate elements of Baroque style; new European techniques and decorative touches that recall Italian arts are evident at the same time as the increased use of foreign labour. 1810 - 1880 Tunisia Fine And Applied Arts A new lifestyle develops in the luxurious mansions inside the medina and also in the large properties of the surrounding area. Mirrors and consoles, chandeliers from Venice etc., are set alongside Spanish-North African furniture. All manner of interior items, as well as women’s clothing and jewellery, experience the same mutations. 1810 - 1830 Tunisia Economy And Trade Situated at the confluence of the seas of the Mediterranean, Tunis is seen as a great commercial city that many of her neighbours fear. Food and luxury goods are in abundance and considerable fortunes are created through international trade and the trade-race at sea. 1810 - 1845 Tunisia Migrations Taking advantage of treaties known as Capitulations an increasing number of Europeans arrive to seek their fortune in the commerce and industry of the regency, in particular the Leghorn Jews, Italians and Maltese. 1810 - 1850 Tunisia Migrations Important increase in the arrival of black slaves. The slave market is supplied by seasonal caravans and the Fezzan from Ghadames and the sub-Saharan region in general. 1810 - 1930 Tunisia Migrations The end of the race in the Mediterranean. For over 200 years the Regency of Tunis saw many free or enslaved Christians arrive from all over the Mediterranean Basin.

  • Market Gardening As a Livelihood Strategy
    Market Gardening as a Livelihood Strategy A Case Study of Rural-Urban Migrants in Kapit, Sarawak, Malaysia Sarah Wong Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand 2005 Submitted to Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand in partial fulfilment of the Master of Development Studies (MDS) Abstract This research investigates the role market gardening plays in the livelihood strategies of rural-urban migrants. It contributes to the literature on market gardening, livelihood strategies and migration by positioning market gardening as a highly flexible and adaptable mechanism for managing the rural-urban transition among households with few labour alternatives. Such perspective elevates market gardening from simply being a land use category to being an active instrument in the management of rural-urban migration processes. The expanding urban centre of Kapit, Sarawak, Malaysia is used as a case study of a rapidly expanding small town in a predominantly rural domain. Market gardening emerges as an important source of income for both individuals and households as rural-urban migrants negotiate the transition between farming and urban settlement. Many rural-urban migrants adopt market gardening or associated market selling as their first employment in urban centres. First generation migrants often have low off- farm skills which limit their ability to take on alternative occupations. While a rise in market gardening activity is enabled by a growth in demand for fresh vegetables, in the context of Sarawak it is also heavily influenced by the involvement of the state that actively encourages participation, provides advice to farmers and offers subsidies. The expansion of roads from rural to urban areas also plays an important role in improving market gardeners access to urban markets, as well as their access to material inputs.

Egyptian Gardens Alison Daines he gardens of ancient Egypt were an integral component of their religion Tand surroundings. The gardens cannot be excavated like buildings and tombs can be, but archeological relics remain that have helped determine their construction, function, and symbolism. Along with these excavation reports, representations of gardens and plants in painting and text are available (fig. 1).1 These portrayals were frequently located on tomb and temple walls. Assuming these representations were based on reality, the gardens must have truly been spectacular. Since the evidence of gardens on excavation sites often matches wall paintings, scholars are able to learn a lot about their purpose.2 Unfortunately, despite these resources, it is still difficult to wholly understand the arrangement and significance of the gardens. In 1947, Marie-Louise Buhl published important research on the symbol- ism of local vegetation. She drew conclusions about tree cults and the specific deity that each plant or tree represented. In 1994 Alix Wilkinson published an article on the symbolism and forma- tion of the gardens, and in 1998 published a book on the same subject.

  • Types of Vegetable Gardens Due to Rapid Development of Industry And
    Lecture 6 -Types of Vegetable gardens Due to rapid development of industry and cities various type of vegetable gardens came into existence & these have scope for providing self sufficiency in food .Types of vegetable gardens developed based on the area occupied and mode of disposal of the product. • History of vegetable gardens can be traced back with the development of civilization. • In primitive periods tribes used to grow vegetables for their own consumption mainly for self supporting like in home garden/ kitchen garden • Commercial horticulture started around 19th century when people began moving from rural areas to the cities consequent of industrial revolution. • Vegetable farming started to cater the needs of urban population. Such gardens were located away from the town and cities. Better and quicker transport facilities developed, distance from market was no barrier as long as transport facilities were available. • People selected area, and other conditions suited to cultivate one or two specialized crops. Thus a specialized garden away from market developed called truck garden. • As civilization progressed, science advanced people discovered the techniques of preservation of fruits& vegetables. • Selected vegetables suited to processing were grown near factories such gardens were known as vegetable garden for processing. • With further advancement of science and technology vegetables were started to cultivate out of their normal growing season in protected structures thus gardens for vegetable forcing came up. • With the advancement of population large quantities of vegetables were cultivated in all above type of garden. • Thus seeds were in great demand. Therefore vegetable garden have been developed exclusively for the production of vegetable seeds.

N. Kenge*, M.S. Abdullahi and K. A. Njoku-Onu Bioresources Development Centre, Odi, PMB 170 Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria Received: 03.03.2021 / Accepted: 17.03.2021 / Published online: 24.03.2021 Abstract: There has been recent increase in demand for scaly fish. Fish with scale and fins are equipped with digestive system that prevents the absorption of poisons and toxins into their flesh from the waters they come from. Collagen derived from fish scales could be used to heal wounds and for various biomedical applications. If you would like to live a healthy vibrant life, at least consider replacing some of those red meat meals, with some delicious fish. Reduce or eliminate shellfish from your diet and be sure that your fish has scales and fins. Heterotis (Heterotis niloticus) is one of the indigenous fishes with fins and scales. Its ability to survive in deoxygenated waters together with its great growth rate makes it a candidate for aquaculture.
