Aquatic Foods

Developing national scaling strategies for aquatic food systems

This area of work supports the design and implementation of AquaLabs to scale up proven innovations in aquatic food systems and accelerate co-creation of future innovations. AquaLabs are developing tools, partnerships, and processes to identify, evaluate, pilot and scale new technologies and institutional innovations, and helping bring innovation closer to aquatic food system actors. They provide a platform for stakeholders including researchers, policymakers and investors to co-design, pilot, accelerate and upscale improved ways to grow, harvest, process, distribute, market and govern aquatic food systems.
