The global population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, putting immense pressure on our food systems to provide adequate, nutritious food for all. One promising solution to this challenge lies in sustainable aquaculture, the farming of fish and other aquatic organisms.

The question of how to sustainably feed the world's growing population has sparked significant debate in the fields of agriculture, environmental science, and food policy. With the global population projected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, the challenge of increasing food production while maintaining environmental health has never been more urgent.

The global food system is in a state of crisis. With over 800 million people facing hunger and nearly one-third of all food produced going to waste, there is an urgent need for a transformative approach to food production, distribution, and consumption.

As climate change continues to impact agricultural systems worldwide, the need for resilience in food production becomes increasingly critical. One of the most effective strategies for enhancing resilience is ensuring seed sovereignty and protecting crop diversity.

Soil is one of the most valuable resources on our planet, providing essential nutrients for crops, supporting biodiversity, and playing a critical role in water filtration. However, soil erosion and carbon loss pose significant threats to soil health and agricultural productivity.
