Shakuntala Thilsted, recipient of the 2021 World Food Prize, explains why diverse aquatic food production systems need to holistically nourish the world in an article in Nature Food.

Farming fish and other aquatic foods is one of the best solutions to nourishing humankind, with a relatively low environmental impact compared to land-based food production systems, and can be implemented in diverse systems and contexts.
