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.

The event aligns with the extended UN 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 conference will spotlight how aquatic foods contribute to food security, nutrition, and livelihoods while identifying actionable pathways to accelerate impact, strengthen collaboration, ensuring no one is left behind.
