More than ever, we believe robust and applicable scientific knowledge is required to overcome the incumbent institutional, social, cultural, economic and political barriers that keep us from radically realigning efforts to end hunger and malnutrition and meeting the other targets of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We recognize that to address complex 21st century challenges we must embrace a transformation approach for food, land and water systems to deliver broad access to affordable, sufficient, healthy diets and decent employment within environmental limits.Īs we take our longstanding tradition of scientific excellence and partnerships for sustained innovation forward into the next decade, this strategy charts a new course for future research on aquatic food systems in response to the global call to action for transformational change of our food systems. For this reason, our original mandate has broadened to include larger aspects of aquatic food systems and their essential role in sustaining human well-being and the health of our planet. For only through continuous adaptation and reinvention can we stay relevant and ahead of the curve. In a world that keeps changing, it is clear to us that the best way to keep thriving is to embrace change. In 2020, our 45th anniversary provided the opportunity to take stock of our impact and also reflect on our achievements and the lessons we have learned along the way. Our work has enhanced the lives of millions, providing evidence-based solutions to real-world problems through a vast network of national and international partners across research, policy, business, civil society and local communities in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Over that time, we have seen immeasurable growth in our knowledge of how sustainable fisheries and aquaculture contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity, nutrition and public health, and improved livelihoods of women, men and young people. ![]() We have become a global research and innovation institution whose contributions to the sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture in low- and middle-income countries are internationally recognized. Since its establishment in 1975, WorldFish has come a long way from being a fisheries research center within the University of Hawaii. ![]()
