The Commission was briefed on the main decisions and recommendations of the respective FAO Regional Conferences, Committees and regional fisheries bodies. The Session witnessed interactive discussions about how the Commission could establish operational collaborations with the private sector and associations of fishers and fish farmers. There was a suggestion that the Commission strengthen its operational capacity through activities to be funded through external budgetary resources. The Commission echoed the need to increase the number of CACFish Members, and invited the participating non-CACFish Member States that were present at the Session to consider formally joining the Commission. The Commission reviewed the key outcomes and main recommendations of the Sixth Meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).

    Reducing Food Loss and Waste in Central Asia - GCP/SEC/015/TUR 2023

    While chronic hunger is on the rise, a considerable amount of food produced is being lost or wasted. In Türkiye alone, an estimated 18 million tonnesof food is lost or wasted each year, that is, more than 20 percent of all food produced in the country. Reducing food loss and waste (FLW) is therefore a key objective in Central Asia subregion to achieve food security, improve food value chains and reduce the environmental footprint of food systems. However, the scale and complexity of the problem requires a holistic, multidisciplinary response involving all actors and stakeholders. Curbing FLW implies not only the revision of institutional and legal frameworks, and improvement in the methods of production, conservation and distribution of food, but also a change in resource-intensive consumption patterns and increasing awareness among all actors in the food supply chain, as well as consumers. Funded by the Government of Türkiye, the project, implemented from November 2019 to April 2023, aimed to support Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Türkiye, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan in developing measures to reduce FLW in the context of national food systems and climate change. Two components were implemented: (i) a regional component, consisting of an FLW reduction campaign and the establishment of an interactive partnership network; and (ii) national components for six countries (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Türkiye and Uzbekistan) consisting of the formulation of national FLW reduction strategies and training in FLW measurement, analysis, monitoring, accounting and reporting.
