Intensive Farming of Carnivorous Fish Relying on West Africa Fishmeal Must Be Stopped

CFFA

FAO’s vision for aquaculture is clearly presented in its “Blue Transformation roadmap”: the objective is the “intensification and expansion of sustainable aquaculture,” so that it “continues to meet the global demand for aquatic foods.” The FAO Guidelines should include the considerations of those stakeholders that are currently facing the negative impacts of unsustainable aquaculture, and are looking at alternative models of small-scale aquaculture. The GSA, instead of feeding over-optimism, would benefit from openly addressing the points of contention which were the reason of drafting the guidelines in the first place.
