Book (series)Report of the workshop on optimizing food and nutrition security and livelihood benefits of small pelagic species production in sub-Saharan Africa, Accra, Ghana, 5–7 December 2023 2024

No results found.Based on earlier work by FAO in collaboration with other organizations and institutions, the workshop on “Optimizing food and nutrition security and livelihood benefits of small pelagic species production in sub-Saharan Africa” aimed to develop a better understanding of supply chains for small pelagic species in sub-Saharan/West Africa. In doing so, it focused on how related fishery resources could best contribute to food and nutrition security, and to the livelihoods of small-scale and fisheries-dependent communities. The workshop was an opportunity to review good practices and lessons learned concerning the alignment between the fish-based products industry and food and nutrition security considerations. It also identified policy considerations, future research and other actions to support effective management of small pelagic resources. The workshop brought together 50 representatives from local fishing communities, governments, private sector actors, research institutions, and relevant professional and interest organizations. A number of conclusions were drawn and recommendations made on how to safeguard the contribution of small pelagics to food and nutrition while having a responsible fishmeal and fish oil industry in the West African region. -
