WorldFish at the 2023 Africa Food Systems Forum: Thriving Africa with Aquatic Foods

The world needs to establish food and nutrition security for millions of people facing hunger in Africa, crucial for the sustainable socio-economic development and the long-term prosperity of the continent.  Malnutrition is particularly severe in sub-Saharan Africa, with almost a quarter of its population undernourished. Sustainably increasing the supply of aquatic foods could make them affordable enough to prevent some 166 million micronutrient deficiencies around the world by 2030.
