    The fisheries sector is vulnerable to poverty and marginalization, income variability, limited access to finance and savings, social and economic risks, gender inequality, and substandard working conditions. These conditions reduce the sector’s adaptive capacity, often leading to negative coping strategies to protect short-term well-being and consumption. Such strategies include removing children from school, selling productive assets, and engaging in Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. These short-term “solutions” result in long-term detriment for households and fisheries resources. The “Social Protection for the Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector” (SocPro4Fish) project seeks to enhance adequate social protection coverage in the fisheries sector to address these risks, vulnerabilities, and challenges. In doing so, it addresses practical challenges in the implementation of social protection programs in the fisheries sector, including coherence between fisheries management and social policies, inter-institutional coordination, and limited evidence. This infographic captures the main results of the SocPro4Fish project in Paraguay.

    Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
    2019
    The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.
