WAMIP joins WFFP in the Global Fight Against Industrial Aquaculture! ✊
BETTER FOR WHO? Read the testimonies from fisher and Indigenous Peoples from 9 different countries about the harms of industrial aquaculture and download the full report ahead of the FAO’s Conference on Fisheries in Rome.
We do not need a Blue Transformation that makes corporations stronger and fishing communities weaker. A real transformation begins with our rights, our territories and our food sovereignty. Fish should nourish communities before they nourish corporate supply chains. How can this be called transformation if it reproduces the same model of dispossession that our communities have resisted for decades?
FAO needs to stop promoting the expansion and intensification of industrial aquaculture and instead fulfill their commitment to implement the Small Scale Fisheries Guidelines and support fisher peoples’s local food systems that have the ability to reach the people that need it most. If @fao truly wants to end hunger, they need to support local food systems. Otherwise they are supporting corporations that are actively destroying the possibility for people to feed themselves locally long term. This is not food security. This is nutritional dispossession.
