Descripción
Blue economy emerged as a policy trend over the last decade and is an increasingly influential concept on global, regional, and national policy agendas. While the blue economy concept inspires interdisciplinary and intersectoral policies and programmes, no commonly accepted definition of the blue economy, including its spatial or thematic scope, exists. This report reviews and analyses how stakeholders apply the blue economy strategically and operationally in their policy and programming, with particular attention to the role of aquatic food systems, which is established as a vital blue economy sector among all stakeholders, regardless of their category or geographic scope. Aquatic food systems stakeholders are thus navigating a blue economy landscape irrespective of whether they are pursuing their own blue economy ambitions. Ultimately, the report provides perspectives on the potential role of FAO amid identified blue economy trends, focusing on the role of its Blue Transformation Roadmap to advance and strengthen the role of aquatic food systems in a blue economy context and its potential as a pathway for the transformation of aquatic food systems.
