Fish leather at the #Blueeconomy2018 in #Nairobi. Nile Perch from Lake Turkana in #Kenya. Fish 🐠 provides nutrition and fish waste such as the skin can be converted into leather. Sustainable fashion–a win for communities and the environment #BlueFashion 🐟

There is more to fish than its flesh. Its skin, usually discarded, is now used by communities in Turkana - Kenya's poorest county - for clothes & accessories.

Innovation: @FAO supports #BlueFashion to help vulnerable communities survive and thrive.
