At the Healthy Oceans Tech and Finance Forum hosted by Asian Development Bank (ADB), WorldFish led the Blue Foods thematic track during the three-day forum, where global research leaders and senior researchers from WorldFish and IWMI came together to introduce the new CGIAR-wide research program on ‘Resilient Aquatic Food Systems for Healthy People and Planet.'
With a focus on the CGIAR and partners program in India as a case study, they identified key areas of investment in aquatic food systems that could enable transformations that will result in more environmentally sustainable and healthier food systems and a prosperous future for the aquatic food sector actors in the emergent blue economy.
