Blue Food Futures
The Blue Food Futures Program deepens our understanding of blue foods* in food systems transformation, integrates research insights into policies, and fosters a global network of blue food scholars.
*Blue food: food derived from aquatic animals, plants, or algae that are caught or cultivated in freshwater and marine environments.
How it started
The Blue Food Futures Program builds on the progress of previous research generated by the Blue Food Assessment, which filled important knowledge gaps related to the role of blue foods in global food systems. It also expands on knowledge-to-action initiatives led by the Aquatic Blue Food Coalition, a multi-stakeholder group mobilizing support for better integration of blue foods in national and international policy fora.
