EAT_topp The vision of EAT is a transformation of the global food system to sustainably feed a healthy population of nine billion people by mid-Century. NCE Seafood is proud to be a partner, and believes the seafood sector will be an important actor in contributing to reach this goal. To emphasize this important work from the EAT Foundation, we want to invite to EAT-Fish, a side-event to Stockholm Food Forum.
With a growing world population, the annual supply needed from the aquaculture sector must further surpass that from capture fisheries, reaching 62% in 2030, to maintain current consumption levels per capita. The contribution of aquaculture to food security and nutrition now and in the future is driven by many interactions between several environmental, development, policy and governance issues.
In this context, the recently adopted UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development and the Paris Climate Agreement are highly relevant for the aquaculture industry and opens up a number of exciting opportunities for the aquaculture industry on solutions to achieve these ambitious goals.
Join leading experts from science and industry for insights on the important role the aquaculture sector can play in addressing urgent social and economic challenges ie human health, food security and climate.
