Fish make an important contribution to micronutrient intake, long-chained polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAS), and animal protein, as well as ensuring food and nutrition security and livelihoods for fishing ...
Seed value chain development in the Global South: Key issues and new directions for public breeding programs
Type: Journal Article
Where CGIAR breeding programs rely on the private sector for the multiplication and distribution of improved cultivars, persistent challenges have dampened their impact on varietal adoption and turnover rates. Part of the ...
Fish nutrient composition: a review of global data from poorly assessed inland and marine species
Type: Journal Article
Objective: Our understanding of the nutrient contribution of fish and other aquatic species to human diets relies on nutrient composition data for a limited number of species. Yet particularly for nutritionally vulnerable ...
Interventions for improving the productivity and environmental performance of global aquaculture for future food security
Type: Journal Article
Aquatic foods are increasingly being recognized as having an important role to play in an environmentally sustainable and nutritionally sufficient food system. Proposals for increasing aquatic food production often center ...

The relationship between aquatic foods and food nutrition and security is increasingly recognised in policy and practice, yet many governance instruments do not acknowledge or support this important connection. The most ...
Loss and waste in fish value chains: A review of the evidence from low and middle-income countries
Type: Journal Article
This paper reviews the literature assessing fish waste and loss in low- and middle-income countries. We find significant variation in estimates of loss in different parts of the value chain, due in part to the diversity ...
Dried fish at the intersection of food science, economy, and culture: A global survey
