🍲Food should nourish, not harm. Yet foodborne diseases cause 1.52 million deaths and USD 310 billion in productivity losses, ranking second only to tuberculosis in economic burden.

This #WorldFoodSafetyDay, let’s turn burden into solutions.

#Tunas are the most economically important group of aquatic products in #SIDS. Particularly in economies of Pacific SIDS, where they accounted for more than 76% of exported volume and generated more than 64% of export value since at least 1976.

[Fisheries & Aquaculture @FAOfish]

Fisheries & aquaculture are key to transforming agri-food systems in #SIDS, #LDCs & #LLDCs.

As highlighted in this @FAO report, integrated approaches, from ecosystem-based management to infrastructure & digital tools, are supporting resilience where it’s needed most.

[FAO4Members @FAO4Members]

Launch of @FAO Action Plan for SIDS, LDCs and LLDCs marks stronger, more coordinated support for countries most exposed to global shocks
