Aquatic food systems in the blue economy: A holistic perspective of drivers, trends, and potential implications for policy and programming

This report reviews and analyses how stakeholders apply the blue economy strategically and operationally in their policy and programming, with particular attention to the role of aquatic food systems (including fisheries and aquaculture), which is established as a vital blue economy sector among all stakeholders, regardless of their category or geographic scope. It also provides perspectives on the potential role of FAO amid identified blue economy trends, focusing on the role of its Blue Transformation Roadmap to advance and strengthen the role of aquatic food systems in a blue economy context and its potential as a pathway for the transformation of aquatic food systems.
