The Korea FAO Sustainable and Innovative Fisheries and Aquaculture Programme (KOFAP) has been established in 2020 as the result of a collaboration agreement among the Government of the Republic of Korea and the FAO Fisheries Division. The collaborative partnership aims to achieve a more sustainable, innovative and collaborative fisheries and aquaculture sector through the development of new tools, information dissemination and collaborative networks. The synergy created by the collaboration seeks to enable more efficient fisheries and aquaculture mechanisms for more effective and inclusive food systems.
