Editor's Notes

  1. Also next to come are retailing, banking and credit…already interested in extending consumer experience of their brand
  2. According to FAO, fisheries provide direct and indirect employment to ½ a billion people worldwide. 1/3 of the world’s workers are engaged in agriculture yet account for only 5% of GDP.
