No results found.In Asia and the Pacific region, capture fisheries have increased slightly in terms of production whereas aquaculture has continued to grow at a rapid rate since the publication of the previous APFIC biennial review Status and potential of fisheries and aquaculture in Asia and the Pacific region. In terms of food security, revenue generation and employment, both capture fisheries and aquaculture sectors continue to be of fundamental importance to the region as can be seen by the tonnage and value produced. In many of the countries of the region, catching or farming aquatic resources forms a vital part of rural people’s livelihoods. Fisheries and aquaculture also have a deep cultural significance and are more than more just sources of income or food supply; traditional fishery products such as fish sauce and fish-based condiments have always been important ingredients of people’s daily diets and are not easily substituted. All sizes and types of fish are utilized in a wide variety of ways and there is very little discarding or wastage. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
