The current report aims to address, ‘How can freshwater management contribute to Food security and Nutrition in Small Island Developing States?’. The study fits within The Global Action Programme on Food Security and Nutrition in Small Island Developing States, which prioritizes an integrated approach for freshwater management and actions to improve Food security and Nutrition (FNS) in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The study follows the SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway where SIDS leaders formulate ambitious commitments to eradicate poverty; promote sustainable patterns of consumption and production; and protect the natural resource base for economic and social development. FAO believes strongly that supporting this ongoing transformation to more sustainable agri-food systems has great potential in achieving positive, concrete and constructive change across the SIDS.
