WorldFish in collaboration with Aquaculture Africa Magazine will gather
research leaders, key investors and government ministers to launch a new
book called ‘Nigeria Fish Futures’. The book highlights the role of fish
and aquatic foods in sustainably feeding and nourishing Nigeria’s rapidly
growing population.
During the webinar, WorldFish’s Project Lead for Sustainable Aquaculture
based in Nigeria, Rohana Subasinghe, will give an overview of the book,
building on the current understanding of Nigeria’s emerging aquaculture
sector and highlighting recommendations to enhance the nation’s food
production systems through capacity building and aquaculture innovations.
Following that will be a panel discussion with key partners of the research
publication, including USAID, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF)
and Nigeria Government's Department of Fisheries (DoF). Together, they will
explore the challenges and opportunities of making nutritious fish and
aquatic foods more accessible and affordable to the rural poor and future
investment plans to facilitate the inclusive growth of the aquaculture
sector in Nigeria.
