At the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC) held in June, 2026 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?

Option (B) — Better production, nutrition, environment and life

• The FAO Strategic Framework 2022-2031 is built on the vision of the Four Betters: Better Production, Better Nutrition, Better Environment, and Better Life, leaving no one behind.
• Blue Transformation is FAO's vision to enhance the role of aquatic food systems in feeding the growing global population, while ensuring sustainability of aquatic resources and equitable livelihoods.
• At the UN Ocean Conference (UNOC) 2025/2026 in France (Nice), FAO highlighted sustainable fisheries and aquaculture as central to achieving SDG 14 (Life Below Water).
• Blue Transformation rests on three pillars: sustainable aquaculture expansion, effective fisheries management, and upgraded aquatic value chains.

• Option (a) Better production, better nutrition, better environment and better ocean: Incorrect. The fourth 'Better' is 'Better Life', not 'Better Ocean'.
• Option (b) Better production, better nutrition, better environment and better life: Correct. These are the official Four Betters under FAO's Strategic Framework guiding Blue Transformation.
• Option (c) Better coral reefs, better nutrition, better environment and better life: Incorrect. 'Better coral reefs' is not part of the Four Betters; the correct term is 'Better Production'.
• Option (d) Better estuaries, better nutrition, better environment and better mangrove vegetation: Incorrect. Neither 'Better estuaries' nor 'Better mangrove vegetation' figure in FAO's Four Betters.
