The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda makes achieving food security and ending malnutrition a global priority. Within this framework, the importance of fisheries in local systems its contribution to nutrition health, particularly for poor are overlooked undervalued. This paper reviews current fish production consumption from capture aquaculture, highlights opportunities enhancing healthy diets outlines key multi-sectoral policy solutions. Mirroring call diversification agricultural...
This paper examines the literature on how biodiversity contributes to improved and diversified diets in developing countries. We assess current state of evidence wild cultivated all forms is related healthy nutrition, examine economic factors, knowledge social norms interact with availability influence both production consumption choices. The identifies areas where lacking ways build synergies between nutrition-sensitive approaches efforts ensure sustainability food systems natural environment.
Fish, in Bangladesh where malnutrition remains a significant development challenge, is an irreplaceable animal-source food the diet of millions. However, existing data on nutrient composition fish do not reflect large diversity available and have focused only few select nutrients. The purpose this study was to fill gaps profiles common by analysing proximate, vitamin, mineral fatty acid 55 fish, shrimp prawn species from inland capture, aquaculture marine capture fisheries. When comparing...
People who are food and nutrition insecure largely reside in Asia Sub-Saharan Africa for many, fish represents a rich source of protein, micronutrients essential fatty acids. The contribution to household security depends upon availability, access cultural personal preferences. Access is determined by location, seasonality price but at the individual level it also person's physiological health status how prepared, cooked shared among members. sustained rapid expansion aquaculture over past...
Numerous studies have focused on the need to expand production of 'blue foods', defined as aquatic foods captured or cultivated in marine and freshwater systems, meet rising population- income-driven demand. Here we analyze roles economic, demographic, geographic factors preferences shaping blue food demand, using secondary data from FAO The World Bank, parameters published models, case at national sub-national scales. Our results show a weak cross-sectional relationship between per capita...
Fisheries and fish supply are undergoing a fundamental structural transition, as indicated by ten country analysis. Aquaculture now provides around half the for direct human consumption is set to grow further, but capture fisheries continue make essential contributions food nutrition security throughout global South. Capture provide diverse, nutritionally valuable products which often culturally preferred easily accessed poor. Technological changes in aquaculture have dramatically increased...
Global demand for freshwater and marine foods (i.e., seafood) is rising an increasing proportion farmed. Aquaculture encompasses a range of species cultivation methods, resulting in diverse social, economic, nutritional, environmental outcomes. As result, how aquaculture develops will influence human wellbeing health Recognition this has spurred push nutrition-sensitive aquaculture, which aims to benefit public through the production diverse, nutrient-rich seafood enabling equitable access....
Blue foods play a central role in food and nutrition security for billions of people are cornerstone the livelihoods, economies, cultures many coastal riparian communities. extraordinarily diverse, often rich essential micronutrients fatty acids, can be produced ways that more environmentally sustainable than terrestrial animal-source foods. Capture fisheries constitute largest wild-food resource human extraction would challenging to replace. Yet, despite their unique value, blue have been...
Blue foods, sourced in aquatic environments, are important for the economies, livelihoods, nutritional security and cultures of people many nations. They often nutrient rich
In the context of developing countries, early evidence suggests that impacts COVID-19 pandemic on food production systems is complex, heterogenous, and dynamic. As such, robust monitoring impact health crisis containment measures across agricultural value chains will likely prove vitally important. With Bangladesh as a case study, we discuss building blocks comprehensive system for prioritizing designing interventions respond to disruptions from preemptively avoid further cascading negative...
Bangladesh has made considerable progress against human development indicators in recent years, but malnutrition resulting from poor dietary diversity and low micronutrient intakes remains entrenched. Fish is central to the Bangladeshi diet small fish species are an important source. Although consumption per capita increased years as a result of rapid expansion aquaculture, it likely that capture fisheries (including indigenous particularly rich micronutrients), declined. This paper...
Malnutrition is one of the biggest challenges 21st century, with in three people world malnourished, combined poor diets being leading cause global burden disease. Fish an under-recognised and undervalued source micronutrients, which could play a more significant role addressing this challenge. With rising pressures on capture fisheries, demand increasingly met from aquaculture. However, aquaculture systems are designed to maximise productivity, little consideration for nutritional quality...
Abstract The international development community is off-track from meeting targets for alleviating global malnutrition. Meanwhile, there growing consensus across scientific disciplines that fish plays a crucial role in food and nutrition security. However, this ‘fish as food’ perspective has yet to translate into policy funding priorities. We argue the traditional framing of natural resource emphasizes economic biodiversity conservation objectives, whereas situating within systems can lead...
The COVID-19 pandemic is a shock affecting all areas of the global food system. We tracked impacts and associated policy responses on availability price aquatic foods production inputs during 2020, using high frequency longitudinal survey 768 respondents in Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Myanmar, Nigeria. found following: (1) Aquatic value chains were severely disrupted but most effects accessibility short-lived. (2) Impacts demand for foods, inputs, labor have been longer lasting than their...
Abstract Injustices are prevalent in food systems, where the accumulation of vast wealth is possible for a few, yet one ten people remain hungry. Here, 194 countries we combine aquatic production, distribution and consumption data with corresponding national policy documents and, drawing on theories social justice, explore whether barriers to participation explain unequal distributions benefits. Using Bayesian models, find economic political associated lower wealth-based benefits; produce...
Abstract Dried fish—here defined broadly as aquatic animals preserved using simple techniques, such sun‐drying, salting, fermentation, and smoking that permit storage foods at ambient temperature for extended periods without specialized packaging—have received little direct attention in fisheries research. This lack of visibility belies their historical contemporary importance. Prior to the introduction refrigeration, dried fish were main form which catches traded consumed. products remain a...
