Also available in:
The Guidebook for developing aquaculture co-management systems introduces the concept of “aquaculture co-management” and provides advice on potential types of aquaculture co-management, as well as strategic and operational goals and best practices for aquaculture co-management. Guidance is also provided on the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of aquaculture co-management, with the goal of developing adaptive approaches to inclusive, legitimateand innovative aquaculture that contributes to sustainable aquatic food systems.The annex 1 contains an evaluation sheet for compilation of information while conducting the evaluation of the design and performance of the aquaculture co-management system. -
ArticleThe geographical indication pathway to sustainability: A framework to assess and monitor the contributions of geographical indications to sustainability through a participatory process 2021

No results found.Geographical Indications (GIs) are widely considered as tools to contribute to sustainability (The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations—FAO, 2009; 2017), if established and well managed. While the literature may not always agree on the positive effects of GIs in all sustainability dimensions (e.g., economic, social, and environmental), there is evidence that engaging GI producers in a sustainability strategy can maximize their contribution to different components of sustainable development. FAO and oriGIn developed the sustainability strategy for GI (SSGI) to support GI producers and their associations so that they could engage in a place-based and participative approach in order to generate concrete progress and results. This paper presents original research for building both a framework and database for the selection and use of relevant sustainability indicators for GIs. A number of SSGI principles have guided the work throughout an iterative process for reviewing, selecting, and improving relevant indicators, while the Sustainability Assessment of Food and Agriculture (SAFA) has provided the structure to align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other widely used and recognized sustainability frameworks. As a result of this work, a database of 372 robust sustainability indicators that are relevant to GIs have been characterized to facilitate their use by practitioners. The discussion highlights the importance of the place-based approach and the participative, inclusive process that represents the key to empowerment and the ability to develop alliances. It also focuses on action, and the need to strengthen both internal and external communication.
