WFFP ICN2 2014 Report
A report on the WFFP’s participation in the ICN2 international conference on nutrition
19-21 November 2014
Despite fish being a key component in nutrition and food security in the world, small scale fisheries have never been a major focus in conferences on nutrition. This November saw the second international conference on nutrition hosted by FAO and WHO, and the WFFP represented small scale fishers world wide as part of a group of social movements present. Read this report to learn how CC members of the social movement navigated a space that has historically been dominated by a strong agricultural and pastoralist focus and how they lobbied on behalf of world fishers to try get ocean grabbing on the agenda and the importance of the international voluntary guidelines in securing world nutrition.
