Parallel session #4.2 - Innovation, Network Building, and Research in Community-based Seafood System

Описание: Seafood is an important source of employment, nutrition, and wellbeing for millions of people in North America and around the world. Seafood is also the most traded food commodity in the world, creating a dynamic in which fishers’ catch increasingly leaves the regions where it is harvested. Here, we share a series of vignettes from across the United States that represent inspiring new pathways to catalyze local and regional food systems through innovation, network building, and research. Our session will highlight the link between resilient fisheries and vibrant local food systems with an eye towards centering a “fish-as-food” dialog at the World Small-Scale Fisheries Congress. Panelists will include a representative from the fishing sector as well as a network leader, researcher, and government representative.
