How can food systems help close protein and nutrition gaps while responding to climate and sustainability challenges? In many low- and middle-income countries, animal-sourced foods, including aquatic foods play an important role in healthy diets, livelihoods and food security but access remains uneven. A new WorldFish report explores the future role of terrestrial animal-sourced foods and aquatic foods in bridging protein and nutrition gaps, exploring why food system transitions need to consider both environmental sustainability and access to adequate, nutrient-dense diets.

🌊 What does a resilient coastal livelihood look like when people and nature depend on the same waters? In Semporna, Sabah, seaweed farming is more than a source of income. For Bajau Laut families, it is part of a way of life and helps support food, education and other household needs. But farmers are navigating multiple pressures from fluctuating seaweed prices and changing weather to sea turtle grazing that can damage crops. Finding solutions means looking beyond production alone. Farmers need practical and affordable ways to protect their livelihoods while supporting marine conservation. A new WorldFish story explores what it takes to build coastal livelihoods that are resilient, inclusive and positive for both people and nature.

At the India International Water Week (IIWW), WorldFish supported the Odisha Integrated Irrigation Project for Climate Resilient Agriculture (OIIPCRA) in showcasing an integrated approach that connects water management with climate-resilient agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture. The Odisha water resources exhibition highlighted how investments in irrigation and water resources can support improved water productivity, integrated rice–fish farming, aquaculture innovations and new livelihood opportunities for farming community. The Odisha stall was also awarded Best Stall for Presentation, recognising the project’s integrated approach and field-level innovations. #WorldFish #Aquaculture #ClimateResilience #India #RiceFish #Livelihoods

💧 Water is at the heart of fish farming. Managing water quality is essential for maintaining healthy fish and supporting good growth.

WorldFish Timor-Leste participated in a stakeholder meeting with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Forestry (MALFF) and development partners to review progress across the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. The meeting brought partners together to share achievements, lessons learned, challenges and recommendations, while creating space to explore how ongoing efforts can align more closely with Government priorities for long-term sustainability. WorldFish Timor-Leste presented updates on IkanAdapt, PADTL and Ikan Ba Futuru, highlighting progress in advancing sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, climate-resilient aquatic food systems and stronger coastal community livelihoods. The exchange underscored the importance of partnership, coordination and knowledge sharing in transforming lessons and evidence into action that supports Timor-Leste’s national development priorities. Together, government, development partners, research institutions, and communities can continue building stronger and more sustainable aquatic food systems for Timor-Leste. #WorldFish #TimorLeste #IkanAdapt #PADTL #IkanBaFuturu #Fisheries #Aquaculture #AquaticFoodSystems

🤝How can Kenya turn the potential of its blue economy into practical action that benefits people and aquatic food systems? Strong collaboration is part of the answer. The Government of Kenya and WorldFish have taken an important step by establishing technical working groups to operationalize their Memorandum of Understanding and shape a unified strategy for fisheries and aquaculture. The groups will focus on fish seed quality, feed and nutrition, fish health, sustainable fisheries management and cross-cutting priorities. Bringing together government institutions like the @State Department for Fisheries and the Blue Economy and key government institutions including Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) OFFICIAL, and kenya fisheries service kefs, the groups will identify priorities, build on existing initiatives, address gaps and develop practical workplans for action.

🤖 Will AI make Africa’s blue economy more inclusive? AI is creating new opportunities for fisheries and aquaculture, from early-warning systems to better-informed decisions. But greater efficiency doesn’t automatically mean greater inclusion. In her latest blog, Lucy Njogu explores three important questions: Who benefits from AI? Whose realities are reflected in the data? And who gets to shape the technology? Read how access, representation and meaningful participation can help ensure AI works for the people at the heart of aquatic food systems. 🔗 Read the blog: https://lnkd.in/eWRM6NZU #WorldFish #ArtificialIntelligence #BlueEconomy #AquaticFoodSystems #SocialInclusion
