A global event to explore the opportunities of sustainable aquaculture in addressing environmental and social-economical threats through environmental protection in Europe.

Date: Monday-Thursday, 4-7 October 2021

As a leading nation, Europe is at the forefront of facing global environmental and social-economical threats through environmental protection, sustainable use of living resources, marine and coastal planning and leading technological developments and innovation.

Aquaculture has a clear place in securing food production in Europe and presents “Oceans of Opportunities” for development and investment if given the political and social license to expand and develop, with public awareness and acceptance of its role.

In the recent Aquaculture Europe 2021, aquaculture sector and food system experts explored the benefits of sustainable aquaculture production in addressing issues of food, nutrition and income security in the European Union.

On Tuesday, 5 October 2021 at 15:00 (UTC+8), WorldFish’s Global Lead in Nutrition and Public Health Shakuntala Thilsted joined the session on ‘Diversification of aquatic food systems: Oceans of Opportunity for nourishing nations.’ She delivered the keynote address on nourishing people and planet by harnessing the power of aquatic foods from diverse waterbodies.
