In celebration of the 2022 International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA2022), the SSF Hub is hosting a virtual event to highlight the challenges and opportunities of aquaculture, alternative livelihoods, and the Blue Economy that contributes to food and nutrition security. The dialogues and discussions will focus on alternative livelihood activities, the long-standing tradition of aquaculture and how they contribute to food and nutrition security.

As part of our commitments to IYAFA2022, WorldFish will continue to support the need to provide the most beneficial outcomes to the aquaculture and global fisheries industry through our research and innovation, we will promote key actions to support this integrated approach in relation to the WorldFish's '2030 Research and Innovation Strategy' and CGIAR's initiative in 'Resilient Aquatic Foods for Healthy People and Planet.' 

Stay up to date with the latest information by following WorldFish and the hashtag #aquaticfoods to join the virtual dialogue on Twitter.
