Synopsis (short abstract) The Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture Value Chains for the Mediterranean (SVC4MED) project, implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with financial support from the Italian Government, aimed to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of wild shrimp and farmed rainbow trout value chains in the Mediterranean region.This policy brief highlights key findings from the farmed rainbow trout value chain analysis in Albania, summarizing a comprehensive study that assessed the sector’s economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The analysis drew on secondary data from statistical databases, primary data from interviews with industry stakeholders, field observations, and focus group discussions.The study provides policy recommendations and strategic actions to improve the efficiency, resilience, and sustainability of Albania’s farmed rainbow trout value chain, addressing challenges such as market organization, governance, access to financing, environmental concerns, and workforce shortages. These findings serve as a foundation for informed decision-making and sectoral improvements.

    What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.
