ACIAR_Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) contribution to food secure world_Final report - 2018

Abstract

Fish is by far the most important and fastest growing animal-source food, and is a critical contributor to food and nutrition security. Yet, this critical role of fish is poorly represented in global debates about food security and development. There is a limited understanding, particularly amongst those outside of the sector, of the long term contribution the fisheries sector can make to the challenges of malnutrition, poverty alleviation and improved well-being.
