Synopsis (short abstract) Blue Transformation outlines a vision to expand aquatic food systems and increase their contribution to nutritious and affordable healthy diets for the most vulnerable, while fostering equitable growth, especially for those communities that depend on fisheries and aquaculture. This vision is aligned with the 2021 Declaration for Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and FAO’s Strategic Framework 2022–2031. Blue Transformation recognizes the importance of aquatic food systems as drivers of employment, economic growth, social development and environmental recovery, which all underpin the SDGs. It also recognizes the need to support the 2030 Agenda through the transformation to more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable aquatic food systems for better production, better nutrition, better environment, and better life, leaving no one behind.

    Blue Transformation: strategies and actions for more sustainable agrifood systems in the Mediterranean
    Webinar outcomes
    2024
    Also available in:
    During this webinar, organized by the SFS-MED Platform and held on 21 March 2024, stakeholders from across the Mediterranean shared knowledge and concrete experiences about the role of policymaking, research, capacity building, technology and finance in accompanying the Blue Transformation in the Mediterranean region.Panelists and speakers highlighted that the Mediterranean fisheries and aquaculture sectors are crucial for the region's aquatic food systems, supporting food security, enhancing livelihoods and protecting heritage. To this effect, the Blue Transformation outlines a vision to expand aquatic food systems and increase their contribution to nutritious and affordable healthy diets for the most vulnerable, while fostering equitable growth, especially for those communities that depend on fisheries and aquaculture.The discussion was instrumental in demonstrating that concerted efforts in investments, governance, technological innovation, education and knowledge exchange are needed to address a series of intricate challenges and leverage promising opportunities to propel the sustainable growth of fisheries and aquaculture in the Mediterranean.Multistakeholder and community-driven approaches, as well as an enhanced regional cooperation are essential to integrate agrifood and the blue sectors, advancing towards holistic regional development and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
