Reducing risks in aquaculture

plans: Arthur et al. (2005)

Farmers, policy-makers and other stakeholders
are increasingly aware of the risks of food
production and are working together to
manage them efficiently. Adoption of national
aquatic animal health strategies (FAO/NACA,
2000, 2001; FAO, 2007) is helping to address
biosecurit y and ensure the health and welfare
of aquatic animals (see “Realizing
aquaculture’s potential” in Part 3). The
following resources provide g uidance on
specific aspects of effective aquaculture
biosecurit y governance.

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) – which includes
aquaculture and aquaponics – is starting to be used
to help develop the technical, policy and
investment conditions needed to achieve
sustainable agricultural development for food
security under climate change (FAO, 2017r, 2017s).
CSA entails simultaneous attention to increasing
productivity, mitigating climate change and
adapting to it. It is thus starting to serve as an
alternative and innovative approach for increasing
aquaculture production while avoiding adverse
impact on sustainability. The challenge is to
implement climate-smart aquaculture in accordance
with CCRF and EAA in order to address the three
interlinked economic, environmental and social
dimensions of sustainability. n
