BookletTechnical reportThe importance of small-scale fisheries for food security in Madagascar 2025
Also available in:
This publication aims to provide an overview of the contribution of small-scale fisheries tohealthy food systems and sustainable livelihoods in Madagascar. Small-scale fishing in Madagascar is primarily conducted in coastal and inland areas using non-motorized dugout canoes. It was estimated that in 2022, in nearly 2 500 surveyed fishing villages, approximately 242 000 people (men and women) were directly involved in the small-scale fisheries sector, with production reported at around 90 000 tonnes. The contribution of both inland and marine small-scale fisheries is critical for Madagascar. As an accessible and indispensable food source for fishing households, this sector plays a vital role in national food and nutrition security through marketing and distribution networks. It also contributes significantly to exports, generating nearly USD 120 million (2022). The commitment of all stakeholders to implement the SSF Guidelines will help safeguard natural resources and enhance small-scale fisheries’ contribution to sustainable development and food systems in Madagascar. This document offers recommendations and strategies to improve the management of small-scale fisheries, enhance post-harvest value chains, promote fish consumption, and focus on nutrient-rich fish species from small-scale fisheries. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022
Repurposing food and agricultural policies to make healthy diets more affordable
2022This year’s report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks) combined with the high cost of nutritious foods and growing inequalities will continue to challenge food security and nutrition. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively. -
Book (series)Flagshipحالة الأغذية والزراعة 2021
زيادة قدرة النظم الزراعية والغذائية على الصمود أمام الصدمات وحالات الإجهاد
2021كشفت جائحة كوفيد-19 مدى هشاشة النظم الزراعية والغذائية أمام الصدمات وحالات الإجهاد وأفضت إلى ازدياد انعدام الأمن الغذائي وسوء التغذية في العالم. ولا بد من اتخاذ إجراءات لجعل النظم الزراعية والغذائية أكثر قدرة على الصمود وكفاءة واستدامة وشمولاً. يعرض تقرير حالة الأمن الغذائي والتغذية لعام 2021 مؤشرات على المستوى القطري لقدرة النظم الزراعية والغذائية على الصمود. وتقيس هذه المؤشرات مدى متانة الإنتاج الأولي وتوافر الأغذية إضافة إلى الحصول المادي والاقتصادي على الأغذية. ومن شأن هذه المؤشرات بالتالي أن تساعد في تقييم قدرة النظم الزراعية والغذائية الوطنية على استيعاب الصدمات وحالات الإجهاد وهو جانب رئيسي من جوانب الصمود. ويجري التقرير تحليلاً لحالات الضعف في سلاسل القيمة الغذائية وكيفية تعاطي الأسر المعيشية الريفية مع المخاطر والصدمات. ويبحث في الخيارات المتاحة للحد قدر المستطاع من المقايضات التي قد تنجم عن بناء القدرة على الصمود مع الكفاءة والشمول. والغرض من ذلك هو إعطاء توجيهات بشأن السياسات من أجل تعزيز قدرة سلاسل الإمدادات الغذائية على الصمود ودعم سبل العيش في النظم الزراعية والغذائية وضمان الحصول المستدام على أغذية كافية وآمنة ومغذية للجميع، في ظلّ الاختلالات. -
