Summary: | This report analyzes global prospects
for fisheries and aquaculture. The World Bank Group (WBG)
Agriculture Action Plan 2013-15 summarizes critical
challenges facing the global food and agriculture sector. An
ever-increasing global population necessitates adequate food
and nutrition for the growing population through increased
production and reduced waste. Production increase must occur
in a context where resources necessary for food production,
such as land and water, are even scarcer in a more crowded
world, and thus the sector needs to be far more efficient in
utilizing productive resources. The important issues
addressed herein are: 1) health of global capture fisheries;
2) the role of aquaculture in filling the global fish supply
- demand gap and potentially reducing the pressure on
capture fisheries; and 3) implications of changes in the
global fish markets on fish consumption, especially in China
and Sub-Saharan Africa. |
