Cross-sectoral partnerships for strengthening resilience of island food systems: experiences from integrating aquatic foods and rural agriculture training

Abstract

This brief explains how WorldFish and KGA combine fisheries and agriculture expertise to promote sustainable diets, Indigenous food practices, and climate-resilient island food systems through joint training and knowledge sharing. The partnership empowers rural communities— especially women and youth—through hands-on training and advocacy, leading to improved farming practices, stronger local food security, and culturally grounded food sovereignty.
