Aquatic food is vital for nutrition, livelihoods & food security in Small Island Developing States. A new @FAOFish study explores fisheries, aquaculture, trade & traditional knowledge across #SIDS, highlighting opportunities for sustainable growth 👉 doi.org/10.4060/cd6877…

Processing aquatic foods can generate up to 70% by-products like heads, skin, bones, shells & more. This @FAOFish guide shows how these can be turned into collagen, fish oil, peptides & more, boosting nutrition, economy & sustainability. More 👉 doi.org/10.4060/cd3041… #FLWDay

How can fish by-products become a resource instead of waste? This @FAOfish manual shows how microbial fermentation can turn highly perishable fish parts into fish silage, a valuable ingredient for feed & fertilizer. Learn more 👉 doi.org/10.4060/cd0799… #FLWDay

When aquatic foods are lost or wasted, we don’t just waste food, we lose all the resources used to produce it: water, land, energy & labor. Let’s reduce loss & waste across the value chain & work toward healthier aquatic #FoodSystems & a more sustainable planet. #FLWDay

I'm honored to be part of this timely discussion. Tackling food loss and waste requires a comprehensive food systems approach — one that embraces multi-stakeholder collaboration and multidimensional solutions. #FLW #IDAFLW #Aquaticfoods
