The state of the world fisheries and aquaculture 2014
Langue : Anglais
In a world where more than 800 million continue to suffer from chronic
malnourishment and where the global population is expected to grow by
another 2 billion to reach 9.6 billion people by 2050 – with a
concentration in coastal urban areas – we must meet the huge challenge of
feeding our planet while safeguarding its natural resources for future
generations. This new edition of The State of World Fisheries and
Aquaculture highlights the significant role that fisheries and aquaculture
plays in eliminating hunger, promoting health and reducing poverty. Never
before have people consumed so much fish or depended so greatly on the
sector for their well-being. Fish is extremely nutritious – a vital source
of protein and essential nutrients, especially for many poorer members of
our global community. Fisheries and aquaculture is a source not just of
health but also of wealth. Employment in the sector has grown faster than
the world’s population. The sector provides jobs to tens of millions and
supports the livelihoods of hundreds of millions. Fish continues to be one
of the most-traded food commodities worldwide. It is especially important
for developing countries, sometimes worth half the total value of their
traded commodities.
