Seafood is Critical for the Blue Food Transition, yet its Reputation is Under Pressure
Despite the significant benefits seafood offers; nutrition, health, and smaller footprints, the sector’s Social License to Grow is under increasing scrutiny.
As global need for sustainable, low-carbon food sources rises, how can we effectively safeguard, enhance, and promote the
reputation of seafood to ensure it supports the FAO’s 2050 vision for a sustainable, resilient, and equitable food system?
