The Aquatic Foods for Resilient Food Systems is a mini-conference hosted by the Global Action Network under the Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries.

This mini-conference marks renewed momentum following the extension of the United Nations Decade of Action on Nutrition to 2030 and connects with the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development — identifying aquatic foods as vital for sustainable food systems, global food security, and nutrition.

The event will identify important actions and opportunities that can accelerate nutrition outcomes through access and intake of sufficient, safe, and nutritious aquatic foods that meet dietary needs and food preferences, leaving no one behind.
