Programme on sustainable aquaculture practices for young women from the Mediterranean and the Black Sea

Programme on sustainable aquaculture practices for young women from the Mediterranean and the Black Sea

The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is organising the third edition of the programme on sustainable aquaculture practices for young women from the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, scheduled for September 8–15, 2024, in Spain. The first two editions of the programme were successfully held in Tunisia in 2022 and in Greece in 2023.

This activity is the result of the collaboration between the GFCM, the Federation of European Aquaculture Producers (FEAP), and APROMAR (Asociación Empresarial de Acuicultura de España), aiming to help young women from the Mediterranean and the Black Sea region learn about the newest developments in aquaculture and gain practical experience with some of the best aquaculture practices in Spain.

The activity will feature theoretical sessions held by aquaculture specialists from the area in order to build a foundation of best practices, emphasize the significance of women’s participation in the sector, discuss achievements and demonstrate the GFCM strategy for the sustainable development of aquaculture, as well as field visits in Spain to highlight Mediterranean aquaculture and various environments, species and production systems.
