Report of the Global Conference on Aquaculture 2010, Farming the Waters for People and Food, 20-25 September 2010, Phuket, Thailand.
The "Global Conference on Aquaculture 2010-Farming the Waters for People and Food" was organised by FAO and NACA, hosted by the Government of Thailand and attended by about 450 people from 80 countries and all the world’s continents. It resulted in the “Phuket Consensus”, which reaffirms the commitment to the principles laid out in the 2000 Bangkok Declaration and Strategy and recommends (i) increasing the effectiveness of governance of the aquaculture sector; (ii) encouraging and facilitating greater investments in scientific, technical and social innovations; (iii) conducting accurate assessments of the progress and contributions of aquaculture (including aquatic plants) to national, regional and global economies, poverty alleviation and food security; (iv) intensifying assistance to the small farmers; (v) supporting gender sensitive policies and implement programmes that facilitate economic and political empowerment of women through their active participation in aquaculture; (vi) increasing and strengthening collaboration and partnerships; and (vii) giving special emphasis on Sub-Saharan Africa and the least aquaculturally developed countries and areas in order to allow them to develop their aquatic resource potentials.
