WorldFish Dec. 9, 2020
A one-hour, online seminar brought to you by WorldFish and the Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling, as part of the Big Fish Series, to highlight Seafood’s Roles in Sustainable Food Systems.
Date: Wednesday, 9 December 2020
Time: 21:00-22:00 (UTC+8)
Aquatic foods are an integral part of the global food system that contribute significantly to food and nutrition security and livelihoods, particularly throughout low- and middle-income countries. The global supply of aquatic foods comes from capture fisheries and aquaculture, but there is concern about sustainability of the industry and its ability to meet future needs and demands.
Alternative seafood, plant-based, fermentation-derived and cell-based seafood, is emerging with potential to help meet the growing seafood demand, but has attracted a mixed reaction by a range of stakeholders.
Join this diverse panel in this short presentation followed by an interactive discussion on priority research questions that need to be addressed to evaluate the alternative seafood sector and its potential implications, opportunities and challenges for food and nutrition security, livelihoods and the environment over the next decade in low- and middle-income countries.
