IGES – WorldFish Collaboration Project - AqFI Reflect Workshop 2024 (Day 2)

Abstract

The collaboration project between IGES and WorldFish, known as Nature Futures Fisheries, began in January 2023. Over three years, it aims to develop and analyze nature-positive scenarios for enhancing small-scale fisheries and potentially aquaculture in developing countries. Using a mixed methods approach and the IPBES Nature Futures Framework, the project's initial phase focuses on small-scale fisheries in Timor-Leste, with potential expansion to aquaculture in India. Guidance will be provided by a project advisory committee comprising experts from The University of Tokyo, Tokyo University of Agriculture, and the Policy Research Institute (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries).
