What are petition debates?

Petition debates are ‘general’ debates which allow MPs from all parties to discuss the important issues raised by one or more petitions, and put their concerns to Government Ministers.

Petition debates don’t end with a vote to implement the request of a petition. This means that MPs will not vote on the issues raised in the petition at the end of the debate.

The Petitions Committee can only schedule debates on petitions to parliament started on petition.parliament.uk

A third of fish caught in Africa spoils before it can be eaten. Here are 3 initiatives solving this

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

The hot sub-Saharan climate can make life difficult for fish sellers in Africa. One third of all the fish caught on the continent spoils before it reaches the plate. 
 
This means lost income for #fish processors, most of whom are women, and less #food for consumers. Reducing this waste would drive economic growth, deliver healthier diets, and even reduce #deforestation by reducing pressure to grow on land.
 
Innovation in the ‘blue food’ sector, from aquaculture to wild fisheries, seaweed, and seafood by-products, offers a critical but underleveraged opportunity to improve climate resilience, nature protection, nutrition access, and sustainable livelihoods.
