Can Fish Fix the Global Nutrition Crisis? Nearly 800 million people still go to bed hungry every night, and millions more are missing the vital nutrients needed for growth and health. Fish and other aquatic foods are among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, yet access, affordability, and policy gaps keep them out of reach for many. In this episode of The Deep Dive, we test the promise of fish against the realities of price, distribution, and culture and ask, can fish really help fix the global nutrition crisis?

In this edition of Fish4Thought, WorldFish’s Knowledge Sharing Series, we share the second session of the Asia–Africa BlueTech Superhighway (AABS) project’s Knowledge Sharing Series. Organized in anticipation of the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste (29 September) and the upcoming WIOMSA Symposium, this session explores how global experts are addressing food loss and waste (FLW) in aquatic food systems. Learn how innovations, assessments, and policies are reducing post-harvest losses while strengthening nutrition, resilience, and sustainability worldwide. Hosted by: • Aditya Parmar – Scientist, Postharvest Loss and Waste, WorldFish Dagaa processing and postharvest innovations from pilots in East Africa Featuring: • Rhea Yray-Frossard – Director, Campaign and Research, Oceana (Philippines) Reducing post-harvest fish loss for food and nutrition security in coastal communities (Daram, Philippines) • Omar Riego Peñarubia – Fishery Officer, FAO Transforming Food and Agriculture through a Systems Approach – introducing FAO’s 2025 publication on integrated strategies for FLW reduction • Ansen Ward – Fishery Officer & Senior Post-Harvest Fisheries Specialist, FAO Food Loss Assessment Methodologies: tools and approaches for measuring aquatic food losses and informing solutions • Abigail Frankfort – Lead, Aquatic Food, World Resources Institute (WRI) A practitioner’s guide to assessing and reducing post-harvest food loss in small-scale aquatic food systems Follow #WorldFish on social media! * Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/WorldFishCenter * LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/WorldFish * Twitter - https://twitter.com/WorldFishCenter * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/WorldFish/ © 2025 WorldFish: http://www.worldfishcenter.org
