Regional forum tags aquaculture as key to enhanced food security

High hopes are being expressed for the contribution that aquaculture can make to a more robust response to global hunger-related challenges, according to a recent Caribbean News Global Report.

The conclusion, which is predicated on a regime of decent work and the application of a sustainable model for the enhancement of the sector, was reached at a Technical Meeting on The Future of Work in Aquaculture in the context of the rural economy, held from December 12 to 17 and which brought together representatives from governments, employers and workers at the ILO to discuss the work challenges and opportunities in the aquaculture sector, the report says.
