Regional Trade Agreements and Fisheries and Aquaculture Products: Today and Tomorrow.

During the celebrations of World Fisheries Day, the Holy See and the FAO have now for several years addressed social sustainability and working conditions in the fisheries sector. During this year’s event, the emphasis will be on the role of fishing ports and how ports can contribute to secure the social sustainability of the sector.

Eating fish is one of the great pleasures of life. This book stems from that notion: it contains dozens of recipes from all principal regions of the planet.

"Fish may not suffice to ensure global food security, but there will no global food security without fish: even as more than 800 million of us suffer from hunger, seafood products make up a fifth of the animal protein intake for nearly half of the world's population.

Aquatic systems have great potential to support millions of lives and livelihoods and contribute to food security. If positively transformed and expanded, they can meet the twin challenge of feeding a growing population while preserving natural resources and the ecosystems that sustain them.

Blue Transformation is a visionary strategy, which aims to enhance the role of aquatic food systems by providing the legal, policy and technical frameworks required to sustain growth and innovation.

Blue Transformation proposes a series of actions designed to support resilience in aquatic food systems and ensure fisheries and aquaculture grow sustainably, while leaving no one behind, especially food deficit communities and those that depend on the sector.

Climate and environment-friendly policy and practices, as well as technological innovations, are critical building blocks for Blue Transformation.

The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture: Towards Blue Transformation explores in detail the actions we need to take to make the ideal vision of sustainable aquaculture and fisheries a reality.

PANEL 1 - THE STATE OF THE STOCKS AT GLOBAL AND REGIONAL LEVELS – WHERE ARE WE AND WHERE SHOULD WE BE HEADING?

Worldwide per capita fish consumption has reached a new record of 20.5 kilograms per year and is poised to increase further in the decade ahead, underscoring its critical role in global food and nutrition security. Sustainable aquaculture development and effective are critical to maintain these trends, according to a new report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Total fish production is set to increase to 204 million tonnes in 2030, up 15 percent from 2018, with aquaculture's share growing from its current 46 percent.

 FAO tracks the growing fish production and consumption.
