Aquatic Foods

Synthesizing existing data and producing new data

The lack of robust and coherent data is a fundamental barrier to the transformation of aquatic food systems.

Researchers are:

• Synthesizing existing data and producing new data to support equitable, evidence-based decisions and investments;
• Producing benchmarking data and structuring monitoring and evaluation in real time; and
• Ensuring better evidence is available to inform decisions and actions by farmers and fishers, private sector actors, and policymakers.
