Fisheries GoI To boost fish production, seaweed farming offers a promising solution. However, before fully embracing this practice, it is crucial for the central government and all stakeholders to identify and address the existing gaps in #seaweed_farming. This includes improving infrastructure, providing adequate training to farmers, and ensuring sustainable practices. By resolving these issues, we can effectively integrate seaweed farming into our fish production strategies, leading to a more sustainable and productive future for the industry.

The FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) is the largest global gathering of policymakers, experts and partners in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. This week’s (8-12 July) #COFI36 meeting will focus on the vital role of fisheries and aquaculture in tackling food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty, stressing their ability to alleviate hunger, drive sustainable growth, and reverse environmental degradation. "An increasingly expanding global aquaculture sector is driving the supply of fish and fishery products to new records. In 2022, aquaculture overtook capture fisheries as the main supplier of aquatic animals. Ensuring the expansion of sustainable aquaculture is of fundamental importance for consumers,” QU Dongyu, the Director-General of FAO.

🌊 Global Fisheries and Aquaculture Production Reaches a New Record High 🌊 In its annual State of Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA), the FAO has reported that aquaculture production of aquatic animals has surpassed capture fisheries for the first time. This welcomed transformation, known as the Blue Transformation, is crucial for achieving better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life. However, it will require further adaptive actions to strengthen the efficiency, inclusiveness, resilience, and sustainability of aquatic food systems. 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dNzxfSQg At WVEPAH, we recognize the fantastic potential of aquaculture in promoting global food security. We also understand the importance of providing the best knowledge and tools to field practitioners.
