The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2022 as the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA). FAO is the lead agency for celebrating the Year in collaboration with other relevant organizations and bodies of the United Nations system. The objective of celebrating IYAFA 2022 is twofold: the Year aims to focus world attention on the role that small-scale fishers, fish farmers and fish workers play in food security and nutrition, poverty eradication and sustainable natural resource use and increasing global understanding and action to support them.

To commemorate the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture 2022 (IYAFA 2022), INFOFISH (under a Letter of Agreement with the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific) is organizing two webinars that will put the spotlight on Asia as home to the world’s majority of small-scale fishers and aquaculturists. The main objectives of the webinars are to raise the awareness on IYAFA 2022, launch the IYAFA 2022 photobook, promote the results of the Illuminating Hidden Harvests (IHH) study on small-scale fisheries, as well as advocate policy support for small-scale fisheries and aquaculture.
