Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetGuidelineLinkages between the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication and the CFS Voluntary Guidelines on Food Systems and Nutrition 2021Despite being enshrined in Sustainable Development Goal 1, the complete eradication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition is still far from becoming a reality, with millions of people all over the world struggling to enjoy healthy diets. Fish and other aquatic foods are major contributors to the healthy diets of billions of people, within sustainable food systems, providing a unique source of fatty acids, essential micronutrients such as vitamin A and D, iron and calcium (among others). These products are often also the most affordable sources of animal protein. However, small-scale fishers, fish workers and their communities still face constraints in effectively participating in decision-making processes that shape their lives, therefore remaining marginalized, and their contribution to food security and nutrition remains under-recognized. The following two international instruments can help small-scale fisheries actors overcome these challenges: CFS Voluntary Guidelines on Food Systems and Nutrition (VGFSN) and Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines).
