Tracking blue food transformation

Tracking how blue food transformation can be achieved in practice across diverse social-ecological contexts.

Blue foods are increasingly recognized for their potential to advance food security, livelihoods, and environmental sustainability, yet important questions remain about how blue food transformation can be achieved in practice across diverse social-ecological contexts. This work examines broad patterns of progress and remaining challenges in blue food systems, while drawing on comparative evidence from diverse cases. By linking global perspectives with context-specific insights, the study aims to contribute to a more practical understanding of pathways toward sustainable, equitable, and resilient blue food systems.
