Development and Scaling of Sustainable Feeds for Resilient Aquatic Food Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa (FASA): Annual project workshop report

Abstract

On November 6–9, 2023, the Development and Scaling of Sustainable Feeds for Resilient Aquatic Food Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa (FASA) project held its most recent annual workshop at the Rockview Hotel in Abuja, Nigeria. Two days (November 7–8) were spent at the hotel in between two daylong field visits, one to a feed mill and fish farm in Abuja (November 6) and the other to the Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research (NIOMR) in Lagos (November 9). The objective was to bring together FASA partners to provide updates on the overall activities completed in Year 1 of the project as well as activities planned for Year 2 and tentatively Year 3 (the entire project runs from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2027 ) The revised implementation plan for 2024 and tentatively 2025 of the project was the main outcome of the workshop
