Descripción

This country report is a product of Component 5 of the project GCP/GLO/352/NOR. Food loss and waste (FLW) is a manifestation of poorly functioning food systems. Providing appropriate solutions to FLW in the aquatic food value chains is hampered by the lack of robust evidence-based data. The results of the fish loss assessments contributed to addressing the root causes of significant losses using the multidimensional solutions (MDS) strategy, a broader and holistic approach to FLW solutions. MDS strategy for reducing the losses within the value chain of dagaa is a comprehensive and multisectoral approach aimed at addressing the challenges and maximizing the potential of the fisheries sector in the United Republic of Tanzania. It aims to tackle the significant losses incurred throughout the dagaa fishery value chain in the United Republic of Tanzania with a strong emphasis on promoting the responsible use of fisheries resources for sustainable development. By implementing this strategy, we seek to enhance the efficiency, resilience, and profitability of the dagaa while minimizing environmental impacts and ensuring food security.
