Leaving no one behind - Sustainable Food from the Oceans and Inland Waters for Food Security and Nutrition

You are here:HomeGain and shareLeaving no one behind

The key element LEAVING NO ONE BEHIND involves actions to overcome societal issues at large which hinder consumption of aquatic food in populations, like global-, regional, and national policies, investment choices, transition from green to blue, malnutrition and hunger. For example, scientific understanding underpinning solutions providing climate smart and nutritious aquatic food, can give leverage in influencing decision-makers. Relevant SDGs related to this element are SDG 5, 8, 9, 10, 14
