‘Farmers of the Water’ education toolkit

On January 24th 2025, in celebration of the International Day of Education, the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) announced the release of the “Farmers of the Water” education toolkit.

Set into the FAO BlueTransformation program of aquaculture in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, this publication is designed to take teachers and students throughout the Mediterranean and the Black Sea on a journey to discover the aquaculture sector in their region. By working through the activities in the toolkit, students discover their power to contribute to sustainable and resilient farmed aquatic food systems.

This work is in line with the FEAP ambitions and priorities, which highly value the relevance of training young and teenage students in its actions, such as our FEAP NextGen programme, which in 2025 will initiate a series of concrete actions to boost knowledge, capacity and interconnections between young aquaculture professionals at EU level – learn more about the FEAP NextGen programme.
