Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Global Conference on Aquaculture +20 – Aquaculture for food and sustainable development
Shanghai, the People's Republic of China, 22–25 September 2021
2022Also available in:
No results found.Feeding an expected global population of 9 billion by 2050 is a daunting challenge that is engaging hundreds of millions of farmers, food processors, traders, researchers, technical experts, and leaders the world over. Fish and other aquatic products from aquaculture can and will play a major role in meeting the dietary demands of all people, while also meeting the food security needs of the poorest. To realize the maximum contributions of the aquaculture sector toward achieving the targets set by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030, coordinated and accelerated actions are required. Not only must these actions increase sustainable production, but also address the broader value chain, markets, and decent employment. Recognizing the critical importance of aquaculture, and the need to exchange and discuss reliable information to further enhance its contribution to sustainable development, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), at the request of its Members, collaborated with the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, to organize the Global Conference on Aquaculture Millennium +20 (GCA +20), 22–25 September 2021, in Shanghai, the People's Republic of China. Under the theme “Aquaculture for food and sustainable development”, the GCA +20 aimed to bring stakeholders from government, business, academia, and civil society together to identify the policy and technology innovations, investment opportunities and fruitful areas of cooperation in aquaculture for food and sustainable development. A key output from the GCA +20 – the Shanghai Declaration on Aquaculture for Food and Sustainable Development – highlights the principles and strategic pathways to maximize sustainable aquaculture in achieving the SDGs, with a special focus on “Leaving no one behind”. -
BookletTechnical briefA systemic approach for aquatic food value chains resilience
Exploring the contribution of aquatic food value chains to global food systems transformation
2025Also available in:
This paper analyses the methodology and practices deployed by FISH4ACP to enhance the resilience of aquatic food value chains, with the objective of providing recommendations to adapt and improve the programme’s strategy. The methodological framework of the FISH4ACP programme essentially envisions value chain resilience as a “scaffold” in support of value chain development and strives to strengthen the individual and collective capacities of private sector value chain operators, so as to minimize disruption in value chain transactions in the presence of exogenous shocks. However, in practice the programme appears to be pursuing also resilience-enhancing strategies that go well beyond the scope of this methodology and the boundaries of value chains. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureValue chains – Aquatic foods and climate policy
In Brief – Integrating blue foods into national climate strategies
2025Also available in:
No results found.Aquatic food systems are increasingly recognized as an essential contributor of adaptation and mitigation solutions in national climate strategies, while safeguarding food and nutrition security for billions of people. With countries submitting updated nationally determined contributions (NDCs), there is a timely opportunity to scale up climate action on aquatic foods. This brochure summarizes key policy options for aquatic food value chains, drawing on the NDC-Fish guidelines launched in 2024 by FAO together with partner organizations including the Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions, WorldFish, the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics, CARE, and the Environmental Defense Fund.
