Let them eat carp: Fish farms are helping to fight hunger

Let them eat carp: Fish farms are helping to fight hunger

Our research shows that common perspectives on aquaculture are wildly out of sync with current developments. In fact, the vast majority of farmed fish is consumed in the same developing countries where it is produced, and is widely accessible to poorer consumers in these markets. Most of it comes from a dynamic new class of small- and medium-scale commercial farms, the existence of which is rarely recognized. To understand the potential of aquaculture to feed the world, researchers and consumers need to appreciate how dynamic this industry is.

Message from Malcolm: "I will continue to lead the Aquaculture Branch (FIAA) of the FAO, through the second year of the planning biennium. We continue to support countries and partners in their endeavours to maximise the potential of aquaculture to meet their economic, social and environmental goals and to develop and share information on aquaculture technologies and development via a range of publications."
