Objectives
About WorldFish About the World’s Fish Food System.
How much fish do we produce today? How much fish do we expect to produce in future? How much fish do we need to produce in future?
Implications from a developing country perspective Three Challenges A research agenda to meet those challenges
Reflections on the skills we need

Fish Matter
• 20% of animal protein intake for 3 billion people.
• An important part of a healthy diet.
• Nutrients essential to cognitive and physical development, especially in children
The most important of the major categories of animal-source foods.

Those most dependent on fish are among the most food and nutrition insecure.

How much fish should we produce in 2030?
Demand Need
![Page 12: Fisheries and aquaculture in the developing world: A research agenda for the next decade](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/5871d5cb1a28ab423c8b68ad/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Two Approaches
1. 2030 Projection based on nutritional need How much fish for an adequate contribution to a
nutritious balanced diet for everyone?
2. 2030 Projection based on trends in consumption (FAO Method) How much fish to satisfy the world’s appetite?
Not a substitute for detailed econometric analysis that models the interactions between supply and demand
Estimating Future Fish Requirements

Projecting from consumption trends
Source: FAOStat, World Bank Data
In general, countries with higher per capita GDP require more fish 1. Estimate relationship
between per capita GDP and per capita fish consumption for each country from historical data.
2. Project this relationship forward using estimated per capita GDP and population to predict fish requirement in 2030.
Method 2

2030 Requirement versus Expectation
• We will be 62 million metric tons short unless we do something
![Page 18: Fisheries and aquaculture in the developing world: A research agenda for the next decade](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/5871d5cb1a28ab423c8b68ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Aquaculture Growth is Vital
• Aquaculture will need to produce 39 million more tons than the 109 currently projected.
• This will require a shift from an expected 2.5% CAGR to 4.7%
But we cannot ignore fisheries and we need to reduce waste and loss!

The Sustainability Challenge
How do we ensure that the fish food system is both economically and ecologically sustainable?

The Distribution Challenge
How do we ensure that the fish is affordable and available for all and that the economic and nutritional benefits from the sector are equitably shared?
