Undernourishment increased by over 9% in 2020, with up to 811 million people worldwide suffering from hunger 🍽 Sustainable and resilient #FoodSystems are essential for reaching #SDG2: #ZeroHunger. Join the #FoodSystems4SDGs Countdown: bit.ly/FoodSystems4SD…

This award is an important recognition of the essential but often overlooked role of #fish and #aquaticfood systems in agricultural research for development.

Congratulations to the 2021 @WorldFoodPrize Laureate Dr. Shakuntala Thilsted! @trinidad1949 is honored for improving the quality, quantity, and availability of food through science on nutrition, fish, and #aquaticfood systems: bit.ly/3ezeOmI #FoodPrize21 #OneCGIAR

Inland aquatic food systems are still undervalued, under-reported in research and under-represented in policy and investment decisions. Inclusion of #aquaticfoods in national food-based dietary guidelines is a potential pathway for #FoodSystems transformation @FoodSystems

Global fish production reached 179 million tonnes in 2018. 156 million tonnes ended up on our plates 🦐🦪🥣 #SustainableFisheries & #aquaculture have an extraordinary potential to grow & feed the 🌍. Read #SOFIA2020 to know more👉 buff.ly/2KFPGNM

Global aquaculture production has increased by 527% from 1990 to 2018 but how can we ensure it is sustainable. Check out the #SOFIA2020 report 👉bit.ly/35MBrQ8

An increasing number of integrated agri-aquaculture farms is reducing water consumption 💧💧up to 90% thanks to #aquaponics. Innovation for food is helping fight #waterscarcity in the near East and North Africa 🌱+ 💧. Read here to know more👉 buff.ly/2jmP7bF

Very pleased to have served in the Advisory Board for this important publication. Water is key, not only for #aquaculture 🐟🦀🦪🦐🌾 in the context of sustainable water use in food systems ➡️ in-focus section in the report.

Shakuntala Thilsted @WorldFishCenter: Having fish in the pond is not enough to mainstream nutrition in aquaculture. In addition to selling fish, one must also ensure that fish is consumed locally in household by women and children.
