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?
A.Better production, better nutrition, better environment and better ocean
B.Better production, better nutrition, better environment and better life✓ Correct
C.Better coral reefs, better nutrition, better environment and better life
D.Better estuaries, better nutrition, better environment and better mangrove vegetation
Explanation
The FAO's Strategic Framework 2022–2031 is built around the 'Four Betters': Better Production, Better Nutrition, Better Environment, and Better Life — leaving no one behind. The Blue Transformation Roadmap of FAO applies these same Four Betters to aquatic food systems, aiming to expand sustainable aquaculture, effectively manage all fisheries, and upgrade aquatic food value chains. At the UN Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice, France in June 2025, FAO reiterated these Four Betters as the guiding principles for transforming aquatic food systems. Hence option (b) is correct.
