Aquatic Blue Food Coalition (ABFC)

The Aquatic Blue Food Coalition originated from the UN Food Systems Summit 2021 as an action group focused on fulfilling the potential of SDG14 (Life Below Water) for global food security, a resilient climate, and thriving biodiversity. Our mission is to advocate for the recognition of blue foods in global food system discussions, mobilize support and adequate funding for their integration, and drive on-the-ground action to foster equitable, sustainable, and climate-resilient food systems. The Aquatic Blue Food Coalition uses its wide network of members and expertise to work with decision-makers to deliver on the potential of blue food solutions to benefit people and the planet.
