Fish is the most widely traded food in the world and more nutritious than many commonly consumed foods. However, due to inadequate management of fisheries – global fish is declining and causing nutrient deficiencies. Why are fisheries overlooked? Barbara Best @USAID answers now.
Here is the report Barbara Best highlights - "The Role of Wild-Caught Fisheries in African Development" https://rmportal.net/biodiversityconservation-gateway/what-we-do/conservation-development/food-security/the-role-of-wild-caught-fisheries-in-african-development/view …
Key takeaways:
- In Africa, 93% of people in the fish sector are employed in #wildfisheries, 7% in #aquaculture
- Women make up about 50% of fish industry workers, with 90% engaged in post-harvest activities
- West African small-scale #fisheries employ about 1.7 million people
We need to be looking at broader food systems as part of the environmental framework. Wild-caught #fisheries are too big to ignore and better integration into project management is needed. - Barbara Best former Senior Coastal Resource Management and Policy Specialist @USAID
Survey results of the study showed that only 58% of women consumed any fruit in the week preceding the survey; just 11% had a fruit an average of at least once a day; For the 42% of women consuming any fruit, wild fruit was consumed more than 2x as frequently as domestic fruit
Forests provide 1/3 of people's recommended intake of food. If we cut that down, where are people's food going to come from? - Amy Ickowitz @CIFOR
The share of the environmental burden of disease is disproportionately born by people in the developing world. @TaylorHRicketts @UVMVermont @GundInstitute explores the relationships between global change and human #health
One study @TaylorHRicketts @UVMVermont @GundInstitute highlights examined how watershed conditions affect downstream diarrheal disease among children. 800,000 kids in the study across 49 countries. Results show: upstream tree cover and human activity impact childhood diarrhea
Forests do impact household diet diversity - a study found an increase in diet diversity for those who live near forests vs. those who live farther away.
Key takeaways from @TaylorHRicketts @UVMVermont @GundInstitute:
- Forests & #conservation affect children’s health
- Signal strongest for most vulnerable kids (Rural & poor households depend more directly on #nature)
- Nature investments can be #publichealth investments
For the past 5 years, #BRIDGE Project has supported the second goal of @USAID’s Biodiversity Policy, to “integrate biodiversity as an essential component of human development.” Join us now to hear more:https://bit.ly/359fwkk
