The workshop aimed to showcase and disseminate key knowledge products developed as part of the ongoing project “Development of the aquaculture co-management system for sustainable aquaculture”. It also facilitated the exchange of knowledge and experiences among stakeholders involved in aquaculture co-management initiatives across different regions, identified challenges and opportunities in aquaculture co-management, and raised awareness of its importance and benefits for sustainable aquaculture development. Additionally, the workshop sought constructive feedback from participants on existing knowledge products and fostered collaboration to outline actionable steps and initiatives for advancing aquaculture co-management. These efforts aimed to address identified challenges and opportunities, ultimately paving the way for sustainable aquaculture development. -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuidebook for developing aquaculture co-management systems 2024Co-management, a collaborative decision-making approach between governments and diverse user groups regarding shared resources, has evolved across natural resource settings. Traditionally applied in fisheries, forestry, and water management, co-management tackles short-term resource allocation and long-term climate adaptation challenges. Despite aquaculture's perception as a private enterprise, it relies on shared resources and ecosystem services, necessitating collaborative risk and resource management. Acknowledging this connection, aquaculture co-management is integral to enhancing aquatic food production, aligning with the FAO's Blue Transformations vision. The guidebook offers a framework for government, NGOs, and private sectors to develop aquaculture co-management, defining its characteristics, goals, and practices. It outlines a process for implementing and evaluating aquaculture co-management systems, aiming to enhance environmental, social, and economic outcomes. The publication also emphasizes the relevance of aquaculture co-management across diverse production systems, ranging from offshore marine cage culture to coastal, reservoir and riverine pond, cage and pen systems and terrestrial tank systems.

Book (stand-alone)FlagshipThe State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture 2025
The potential to produce more and better
2025In order to meet the demands of a growing global population, agriculture needs to produce about 50 percent more food, feed and fibre by 2050 compared with the volumes it generated in 2012, according to estimates by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Achieving such objectives will place additional pressure on the world's already overstretched water, land and soil resources. In an increasing number of regions, food security and agrifood systems are at risk from unsustainable natural resource management practices, urban expansion, higher demand for food, water, energy and biomaterials, and persisting social and gender inequalities in access to and governance of resources. FAO estimates that more than 1.6 billion hectares (ha) of land, corresponding to more than 10 percent of the world’s land area, have been degraded by unsustainable land-use and management practices. More than 60 percent of this degradation occurs on agricultural lands (including cropland and pastureland), creating unprecedented pressure on the world’s agrifood systems. Globally, urban areas more than doubled in size in just two decades, growing from 33 million hectares (Mha) in 1992 to 71 Mha in 2015. This expansion consumed 24 Mha of some of the most fertile croplands, 3.3 Mha of forestlands and 4.6 Mha of shrubland.
