Sustainable Seafood and Global Food Security

Mar 15 2026

3:00 PM - 3:45 PM EDT

Room 153A

The world’s population continues to grow, and demand for nutritious, affordable protein is increasing as incomes rise. Yet millions of people in both developing and developed countries remain food insecure and face micronutrient deficiencies. As biodiversity and environmental constraints limit future food production, the global food system must become more sustainable while delivering healthier diets.

Through the International Coalition of Fisheries Associations (ICFA), the fishing industry has developed a nutrition toolkit to highlight seafood’s important role in global food security and healthy diets. Sustainably harvested fish and seafood can help address nutrition needs while supporting biodiversity and climate-resilient food systems. Join industry leaders to hear their perspectives on these issues and how they are working together to advance the future of the seafood sector.
