In this Pre-Summit Main Programme Session on ‘Steering the UN Food System Summit towards full integration of blue foods for health, wealth & ecological recovery,’ hosted under the leadership of the Food System Summit Secretariat, experts working across different aspects of global food systems convened to share and discuss game-changing solutions for improving food and nutrition security, health and income opportunities with foods from below water.
