The Regional Workshop convened by M S Swaminathan Research Foundation in collaboration with the Bay of Bengal Programme of FAO (BOBP) is designed to address these issues and to develop an action plan for saving the remaining coral reefs in the SAARC region. Since its establishment in 1989, M S S R F has given priority attention to the conservation and sustainable use of Coastal Mangrove ecosystems. In many areas, Mangroves, sea grass meadows and coral reefs constitute an integrated ecosystem. The Gulf of Mannar Biosphere Reserve represents one such integrated ecosystem.
Malgré les développements courants des systèmes intégrés de commercialisation des denrées alimentaires, les formes traditionnelles de marchés de gros et de détail restent les maillons les plus importants de la chaîne qui relie le producteur au consommateur. Ce manuel est le complément du Guide déjà édité par la FAO en 1994, traitant de la planification et de la conception des marchés de gros (Bulletins des services agricoles, n° 90).
n all African towns specific modes of transport - mechanized and non- mechanized - have developed which play an essential role in distributing food between different markets and supplying the whole informal trading sector. These modes of transport, which provide an ideal service for the small volumes handled and the weak financial capacity of the wholesalers and retailers, play an essential role in maintaining low-cost inter-urban redistribution. What is known about the “artisanal” sector of urban goods transport?
This study focuses on the current situation, trends and likely developments of forest resources to 2010. Forest areas, growing stocks, increments and fellings are reviewed on a country basis. Roundwood supply is analysed from two points of view: roundwood production potential and roundwood felling (removal). The working paper attempts to assess the potential productive capacity and fellings for both fuelwood and industrial wood use taking account of the impact of changes in the agricultural frontier and population growth.
A summary of the major policy issues and opportunities confronting many of the governments in the Asia-Pacific region, in trying to achieve sustainable and equitable use and management of their forests.

Dans toutes les villes en Afrique se sont développés des modes spécifiques de transport qui jouent un rôle fondamental dans la redistribution des produits alimentaires intermarchéss et dans l’approvisionnement de tout le secteur informel marchand. Ces modes de transport non mécanisés ou mécanisés offrent un service parfaitement adapté aux petits volumes traités et aux capacités financières réduites des différents intervenants, grossistes comme détaillants. Ils jouent par conséquent un rôle essentiel dans le maintien de faibles coûts de redistribution intra-urbaine.
