In this presentation, Alexandra Pounds presents seven points that food security policymakers and researchers should consider when evaluating the role of aquatic foods in food systems. This work was an intellectual output of the entire group of authors, all of whom are researchers in various elements of food security and sustainable food systems.
The seven points influencing nutritional outcomes and environmental impacts are:
1. The diversity of species and production methods
2. Variable definitions of an ‘edible yield’
3. Circular economy principles and effects beyond nutrient provision
4. The role of aquatic animals in the overall diet
5. Contextual effects of preparation, preservation, and consumer choices
6. The globalised nature of trade across the value chain
7. Aquatic animals are produced from a continuum, rather than a dichotomy, of aquaculture of fisheries.
Aquatic animal systems discussions need to be informed by wider food systems literature and the diversity of species and production systems. Discussions should include species- and production-level analysis that compares nutritional outcomes with environmental impacts contextualised by regional consumption preferences, affordability, and availability. Furthermore, discussions should contextualise the role of nutrients from aquatic foods in the broader diet and allow for the examination of different systems’ impact on different regions and populations. This will reflect (1) the highly international nature of the global seafood trade and the circular economy therein, and (2) all nutritional outputs of aquatic food systems, including co-products, rather than just the primary species.
