Did you Know? Aquatic food systems comprise the complete cycle of activities and value chain actors involved in bringing fish and seafood from water to table. These interconnected systems span production, processing, distribution, consumption, and waste management within fisheries and aquaculture sectors, while interacting with surrounding economic, social, and environmental ecosystems.

Community engagement, technology, and ecosystems are key to sustainable fisheries. The Malabo Montpellier Panel’s #FISHFRIENDLY report outlines how Africa can empower fishers, adopt innovation, and protect marine life. Read the report: shorturl.at/fJ0A5

According to @MaMoPanel’s #FishFriendly report several African governments have developed comprehensive policy frameworks to address the challenges slowing the development of their fisheries and aquaculture sectors. However, such efforts need to be expanded and intensified to strengthen fisheries and aquaculture value chains, transform Africa’s aquatic food systems, and contribute to broad economic growth.

#FishFriendly The latest publication from @MaMoPanel highlights the rapid growth of the continent's fisheries and aquaculture sector, which, since 2000, has experienced the highest aquaculture growth rate of all regions of the world, increasing by more than five-fold to reach 2.5 million metric tons (MT) in 2022. The sector provides almost 20 percent of Africa's animal protein. To counter a projected deficit of 11 million MT annually by 2030, policies and investments are needed to meet future demand and avoid potential shortages, the authors argue. Africa's supplies of aquatic foods would need to increase by 74 percent by 2050 to maintain current per capita fish consumption levels. Learn more @AP: shorturl.at/iBU2w

#FISHFRIENDLY Supporting Innovation and Increased Research Funding! To build a skilled workforce capable of driving innovation to expand the sector, innovation hubs and mentorship programs need to be established, focusing on sustainable fish production and promoting improved techniques for fish processing, marketing, and trade–@MaMoPanel!
