This study analyses the potential of organic agriculture (OA) for sustainable intensification and food security in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and more specifically: a) how different organic interventions enable farmers to practice organic agriculture; b) how organic agriculture comparatively performs in terms of productivity and profitability.
Blue foods include thousands of species of aquatic plants and animals, many of them rich in protein and micronutrients. This vast diversity offers enormous potential. Sustainably harvested blue foods can help achieve the SDGs by alleviating hunger and malnutrition; improving health; reducing pressure on oceans, water, land and climate; and maintaining or creating decent livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
Agricultural support is not providing desirable results for sustainability and human health, but repurposing it can be a game changer. It offers governments an opportunity to optimize the use of scarce public resources to transform food systems in ways that make them not only more efficient, but also more supportive of the SDGs.

World fisheries and aquaculture production hit a new high in 2022. Successful initiatives should be upscaled to consolidate the vital role of aquatic foods for global food security, nutrition and livelihoods.
The report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE-FSN) focuses on urban and peri-urban (U-PU) food systems and their crucial role in achieving food security and nutrition (FSN). The rapid urbanization and rural transformation underscore the need to address food insecurity that predominantly affects U-PU areas. This report provides an in-depth analysis and presents action-oriented policy recommendations aimed at ensuring sustainable and resilient food systems in these regions.
Emerging economies have increasingly driven global agricultural and fisheries market developments over the last 20 years and are expected to continue to do so over the next decade.
