Can Fish Fix the Global Nutrition Crisis?

This videocast episode is part of WorldFish’s Deep Dive series, launched on the occasion of WorldFish’s 50th anniversary to convene dialogue and inspire action on some of the biggest challenges and opportunities in sustainable and inclusive aquatic food systems.

Fish and other aquatic foods are among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, yet access, affordability, and policy gaps keep them out of reach for many.

In this episode of The Deep Dive, we test the promise of fish against the realities of price, distribution, and culture and ask, can fish really help fix the global nutrition crisis?
