Time: 19:30-20:20 (CEST)
Aquatic food related livelihoods underpin the foundation of sustainable development and achievement of the goals set out in the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 in leaving no one behind. However, aquatic foods are one of the most threatened food sectors; with ecosystems experiencing severe decline, and aquatic small-scale food producers often overlooked and marginalized in decision-making. As a result, current transformation approaches are disjointed and do not account for the potential of aquatic foods; posing a serious risk to achieving a healthy planet and people.
