but …

• can production meet growth in demand?

red tide, Inland Sea, Japan

– rate of aquaculture growth slowing

• impacts of expansion, intensification and globalization

– makes unsustainable demands on the environment

– perpetuates/aggravates inequity and social exclusionsocial exclusion

• can the poor benefit from engaging in aquaculture production?

– susceptible to climate change, increasing vulnerability

Sustainable AquacultureSustainable Aquaculture

our Mission

• to reduce poverty and hunger by improving fisheries and aquaculture

• focus our work to maximize the impact of aquaculture on the MDGs

• this means specifying

– our research focal areas

– where in the world we will be active

– who we will partner with

… and finally

• aquaculture has the potential to sustainably meet the gap between y g psupply and demand for aquatic foods

• at the same time, it has the potential to lift substantial numbers of poor people out of poverty

• needs clearly articulated research d d i l agenda and support to implement
