WorldFish’s Global Lead for Nutrition and Public Health Dr. Shakuntala Thilsted, who was recently awarded the 2021 World Food Prize, addressed the UN General Assembly telling member states of the game-changing solutions aquatic foods offer for a food systems transformation that supports the sustainable development agenda.
Joining the High-Level Event on the Ocean last Tuesday, Thilsted addressed obstacles and opportunities in both fisheries and aquaculture and highlighted the need for greater recognition of aquatic food systems in the UN Food Systems Summit to be held in Rome in October 2021.
