Fisheries and the right to food 2012, para. 34

Párrafo
Paragraph text
The impressive growth of aquaculture is seen, in part, as a response to the challenges discussed above, in particular to the stagnating wild-capture fisheries. While this holds true in Asia, fish farming is minimal in Africa, the Pacific and Latin America. Consequently, it remains difficult, in the absence of adequate data, to assess whether aquaculture is genuinely supporting food availability and accessibility for people living in poverty. Although small-scale aquaculture can contribute significantly to local food security, considerable investment and growth in aquaculture is for the benefit of exports or for middle-class urban consumers.
