136. Five archetypes of small-scale fisheries reveal a continuum of strategies
The diversity of small-scale producers is often oversimplified, limiting their contribution to effective food systems transformation and positive impact on global development. Here we analyse data for more than 1,000 small-scale marine fisheries, representing two-thirds of the global marine small-scale fisheries catch, and identify five global archetypes defined by operational, socioeconomic, technological and post-harvest attributes. We then apply the Five Principles of Sustainable Food and Agriculture, developed by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, as a guiding framework for policy recommendations that link Sustainable Development Goals targets with context-specific needs and apply to each of these archetypes. This approach recognises the multidimensional contributions of small-scale fisheries and offers a low-cost, easy-to-implement solution that supports decision-making in data-limited contexts, particularly in the global south. Additionally, the approach is potentially transferable to small-scale producers in other food sectors, facilitating targeted policymaking for the benefit of millions globally. Data from the Illuminating Hidden Harvests initiative challenge the small- versus large-scale fisheries dichotomy, identifying five global archetypes to guide targeted policy and food systems transformation.

138. A font with built-in TeX syntax highlighting
At the TUG2025 conference, I presented a talk about the development of a new colour font, which does automatic syntax highlighting for TeX documents/snippets. The idea was floated by CVR, and was inspired by a prior-art of HTML/CSS syntax highlighting font by Heikki Lotvonen. Syntax highlighting is achieved by specialized grammar files or packages on…
