Blue Food Partnership
We need to transform global food systems at speed and scale to meet the needs of people and planet as our population grows. Blue foods - food from aquatic sources - must be central to this transformation. If scaled sustainably, the sector can offer a solution to rising malnutrition and food insecurity, while creating jobs and shoring up economic growth. Friends of Ocean Action’s Blue Food Partnership aims to catalyze science-based actions towards healthy and sustainable blue food value chains and works with its members to identify and scale pre-competitive initiatives on priority blue food topics such as aquaculture.

Achieving food security for all is at the heart of the Food and Agricultural Organization’s (FAO) efforts – to make sure people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. FAO’s three main goals are: the eradication of hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition; the elimination of poverty and the promotion of economic and social progress for all; the sustainable management and utilization of natural resources, including land, water, air, climate and genetic resources for the benefit of present and future generations.
