    Multidimensional solutions strategy for the reduction of food loss and waste in the multiday fisheries subsector in Sri Lanka 2024
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This multidimensional solutions strategy for reducing the losses in the multiday fisheries sector in Sri Lanka is a comprehensive and multi-sectorial related approach aimed at addressing the challenges and maximizing the potential of the fisheries sector in Sri Lanka. It aims to tackle the significant losses incurred in the multiday fisheries sector with a strong emphasis on promoting the responsible use of fisheries resources for sustainable development. This strategy is designed based on the robust foundation of updated research findings on the extent of the fish losses, extensive engagement of stakeholders, and a thorough understanding of the underlying causes and impacts of food loss and waste (FLW). By implementing this strategy, we seek to enhance the efficiency, resilience, and profitability of the multiday fisheries sector while minimizing environmental impacts and ensuring food security which is the objective of Component 5 of the project GCP/GLO/352/NOR.

    This multidimensional solutions strategy for reducing the losses within the value chain of dagaa is a comprehensive and multi-sectorial related approach aimed at addressing the challenges and maximizing the potential of the fisheries sector in the United Republic of Tanzania. It aims to tackle the significant losses incurred throughout the dagaa fishery value chain in the United Republic of Tanzania with a strong emphasis on promoting the responsible use of fisheries resources for sustainable development. This strategy is designed based on the robust foundation of updated research findings on the extent of dagaa losses, extensive engagement of stakeholders, and a thorough understanding of the underlying causes and impacts of food loss and waste (FLW). By implementing this strategy, we seek to enhance the efficiency, resilience, and profitability of the dagaa while minimizing environmental impacts and ensuring food security which is the objective of Component 5 of the project GCP/GLO/352/NOR.

    A guide to the application of a multidimensional solutions approach to food loss and waste reduction in aquatic value chains 2025

    Loss and waste is a feature of the fisheries and aquaculture sector and efforts to understand and characterize the causes of, as well as research and develop ways of reducing fish loss and waste are ongoing. Reducing food loss and waste (FLW) is widely seen as an important way to reduce production costs and increase the efficiency of a food system, improve food security and nutrition and contribute towards environmental sustainability. Evidence suggests that a broader multidisciplinary and multistakeholder approach to reducing FLW will be more effective and yield sustainable results. Such an approach encompasses and combines interventions that link policy, the regulatory framework, social and gender equity, services and infrastructure, market issues, technology, as well as skills and knowledge. Guidance for practitioners wishing to adopt this approach can be found in the Voluntary Code of Conduct for Food Loss and Waste Reduction (CoC FLW).This technical paper describes a multidimensional solutions (MDS) approach to reduce FLW, which, whilst more challenging to apply, is felt will likely lead to more successful interventions. An overview of the MDS concept and a description of a process that can be used to develop long-term multidimensional FLW solutions strategies for the fisheries and aquaculture sector are provided. Case studies are included, as well as observations on given application issues. This MDS approach is evolving but early indications are that it warrants wider dissemination, discussion, and application.

    Picturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025
    Also available in:

    This commemorative volume marks the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tracing its journey from a founding conviction – that hunger is not inevitable – to today’s global mission of transforming agrifood systems. Through a rich collection of photographs and narratives, the book illustrates how FAO works alongside farmers, fishers, scientists, governments, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society to advance sustainable solutions that nourish both people and planet.Organized around FAO’s vision of the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – the book highlights concrete progress: from regenerative farming and climate-smart livestock, to school feeding programmes, land restoration and inclusive digital innovation. It reflects on both the challenges and the opportunities facing agrifood systems, including climate volatility, conflict and inequality, while showing how collaboration, knowledge and innovation create pathways for resilience and hope.Arriving at a moment of reflection and renewal, this volume is both tribute and testimony: to the millions of people whose daily efforts sustain our world, and to FAO’s enduring commitment to building sustainable, inclusive and equitable agrifood systems that leave no one behind.
