Millions of people in South Sudan will face hunger this year if urgent action is not taken according to a joint report issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Food Programme. The report is based on the joint Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission to South Sudan, conducted in the world’s newest nation. |
Fishing and fish farming contribute to food security in three ways. They directly increase people's food supplies, providing animal protein and important micronutrients. Fish also fills in the gaps during lean times. And fishing and aquaculture provide jobs and income that can be used to buy other food.
