At the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC) held in June, 2025 in France, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations demonstrated its leading voice on marine and ocean issues, especially on sustainable fisheries and aquaculture for resilient livelihood and "Blue Transformation". Which of the following combinations about the "Four Betters" proposed by FAO for "Blue Transformation" is correct?
Explanation
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations promotes "Blue Transformation" as a vision to expand sustainable aquaculture, improve fisheries management, and upgrade aquatic food value chains. This initiative is fully aligned with the FAO Strategic Framework 2022–2031, which is centered around the "Four Betters": Better Production, Better Nutrition, a Better Environment, and a Better Life, leaving no one behind. These principles aim to transform agrifood systems to be more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable, maximizing the contribution of aquatic food systems to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
