Agroindustry and Marketing

The improvement of marketing systems for both farm produce and inputs in developing countries and emerging economies requires effective government support services and a strong private sector backed up by appropriate policy frameworks.

 
Fisheries

The livelihoods of about 200 million people rely on fisheries, aquaculture, and associated activities. Aquaculture continues to grow more rapidly than all other animal food producing sectors, with an annual average growth rate for the world of 8.8 percent per year since 1970, compared with only 1.2 percent capture fisheries and 2.9 percent for terrestrial farmed meat production systems. It currently provides about 50% of the seafood for human consumption.

 
Forests

In many parts of the world, the remaining great natural forests are at risk from a number of well-known causes. More than half a billion people living in extreme poverty depend on forests for their livelihoods.

 
Irrigation

Development and maintenance of irrigation systems and practices include topographic surveying, crop water needs, irrigation scheduling, irrigation methods, irrigation system design, land grading and levelling, canals and structures, drainage, salinity, and irrigation management.
