No full textFisheries provide a vital source of food, employment, recreation, trade and economic well-being for people throughout the world, both for present and future generations, and should therefore be conducted in a responsible manner. The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) provides principles and standards applicable to the conservation, management and development of all fisheries, taking into account the relevant biological, technological, economic, social, environmental and commercial aspects.The FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI), meanwhile, was established by the FAO Conference in 1965, and is the only global intergovernmental forum in which FAO Members meet to review and consider the issues and challenges related to fisheries and aquaculture. The 35th session of COFI (COFI35) reiterated the value of the CCRF for achieving sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, and recognized the progress made in its implementation since its adoption, while noting that further improvements are needed to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Technical Support to Promote Policy Coherence for Safe, Reliable and Resilient Urban Food Systems in Post-Covid Environment - TCP/RAS/3807
No full textThis project addressed the critical need to rethink and strengthen food supply chains in urban areas, particularly in the context of pandemics such as COVID-19. The pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in food systems, highlighting issues related to food safety, supply chain disruptions, and the need for policy adjustments to ensure food access for urban residents, especially the poor and vulnerable. It underscored the importance of urban food governance and policy coordination to address interconnected challenges such as food security, nutrition, health and sustainable urban development. In many Asian countries, there is a growing recognition of the importance of urban agriculture, local food production, and shorter food value chains to ensure food access and nutrition for urban populations. Governments play a critical role in promoting these initiatives through policies that regulate and incentivize local food production, including urban gardening, and integrate them into urban planning. This approach is seen as essential to building more resilient food systems that can withstand future pandemics and natural disasters
