The goal of fisheries education is to improve fish production by utilizing resources, modern culture systems, modern techniques, marketing, and social advancement of the fishing community. Many students, professionals, and practitioners are interested in this field, but they are unaware about what are all the courses, that can be pursued, and from where. To help them get rid of this confusion.
FAO of United Nations offers a variety of courses, webinars, MOOCs, and many other learning opportunities for free with Digital Certification.
This is the first of a series of courses designed to provide information on the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) and its application to fisheries management. It begins with a detailed review of the world’s fisheries and then moves on to describe fisheries management, including its aims, procedures, and obstacles. Following that, EAF is introduced, with its basic ideas and major aspects explained.
Food loss and waste (FLW) in the fisheries sector is a complicated issue with diverse and interconnected causes at various levels. Policymakers, the public and private sectors seek solutions that are not only economically advantageous but also produce or sustain social benefits. This course covers important definitions, causes, and remedies, and a description of three evaluation techniques to allow learners to grasp the relevance of FLW in fish value chains and support decision making for loss and waste prevention and reduction.
This e-learning course is intended for program officials, technical experts, and extension agents who are involved with the prevention and mitigation of loss and waste. The course is also intended for academics and researchers who wish to learn more about the subject to create research and teach practical courses on food loss and waste in fish value chains.
After completing a course, you must take the final evaluation exam to receive a digital certification from the FAO e-learning Centre.
These digital badge certificates attest to your achievement of the learning outcomes and competencies stated in FAO e-learning courses. You can visit the official website to get all the above courses to get enrolled in.
