Over 3 billion people worldwide rely on aquatic food systems for income and nutrition.
But a lack of reliable data and information affects the social, economic and environmental sustainability of aquatic food systems in the face of climate change, pollution, overfishing and competing demands for water.
AquaData aims to create a place where people can find data, stories and tools to use in their own contexts to make positive changes. This effort involves:
- identifying and filling data gaps through partnerships and collaboration
- deriving new data from emerging technologies and approaches
- turning data into knowledge to catalyze action in aquatic food systems
This three-year program of work is part of the CGIAR Research Initiative on Aquatic Foods and will focus on Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ghana, India, Myanmar, Nigeria, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste and Zambia.
