Illuminating hidden harvests: The contribution of small-scale fisheries to sustainable development

FAO, WorldFish and Duke University are working in partnership with experts globally to revisit and build on the Hidden Harvest study in 2012. Encompassing the pre-harvesting, harvesting and post-harvesting sectors of inland and marine fisheries, the new study asks the questions: 1) What are the social, environmental, economic and governance contributions of small-scale fisheries at global and local scales? 2) What are the key drivers of change in these sectors, including both threats and opportunities?

Dissemination and scaling strategy for genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) in India, 2020–2030

A strategy for GIFT dissemination and scaling in India is imperative to ensuring that the positive changes in policy and the increased efforts and investments in the tilapia industry succeed to scale impacts of GIFT adoption. Therefore, India’s GIFT strategy aims at ensuring increased productivity, incomes, food and nutrition security, and reduced poverty through effective dissemination and scaling of GIFT within a sustainable business model. To achieve this aim, the strategy describes the dissemination model with annual milestones and an action plan from March 2020 to March 2030.
