Synopsis (short abstract) FAO’s work in nutrition enables healthy diets, advancing efforts towards reaching global nutrition targets and the Sustainable Development Goals. FAO’s Nutrition Strategy aligns with the Organization’s Strategic Framework to leverage all areas of technical expertise towards achieving the four aspirations of Better Production, Better Nutrition, a Better Environment and a Better Life. Aquatic food products, with their diverse and valuable nutritional attributes, such as vitamins and minerals, omega-3 fatty acids and essential amino acids are a crucial component of healthy diets. Steered by an agri-food systems approach and its Guiding Principles, FAO’s Nutrition Strategy recognizes the critical role of aquatic foods in national plans and actions for sustainable, resilient and inclusive agriculture and food systems, food security and nutrition.

    FAO’s work in nutrition enables healthy diets, advancing efforts towards reaching global nutrition targets and the Sustainable Development Goals. FAO’s Nutrition Strategy aligns with the Organization’s Strategic Framework to leverage all areas of technical expertise towards achieving the four aspirations of Better Production, Better Nutrition, a Better Environment and a Better Life. Agri-food systems are both affected by and contributing to climate change. For example, the global food system accounts for a considerable portion of the greenhouse gas emissions that are leading to climate and environmental changes. Simultaneously, climate change is altering the ‘what’, ‘for how long’ and ‘with which’ resources we can plant, harvest, and produce food.
