Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) recently released a policy brief titled “Transformation and Future of Aquatic Food Systems in Nigeria” highlighting the untapped potential of aquatic foods in addressing malnutrition and creating jobs in Nigeria. The brief, developed by FMARD in collaboration with the Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition and Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, presents practical and game-changing recommendations derived from the National Dialogue on Transformation and Future of Aquatic Food Systems held in Abuja in 2021. By implementing these recommendations, Nigeria has the opportunity to transform its aquatic food sector to enhance its food and nutrition security and contribute to the country’s economic growth.
