Water and aquatic food systems have been undervalued and overlooked in conversations about climate change and food security despite their importance ensuring global food security and the significant impacts that climate change will have in the coming years on our food systems. On November 14, 2022, the Food Systems Pavilion is hosting a day focused on Embracing Sustainable Water Use and Aquatic Blue Food Diversity for Climate Smart Food Systems. On this day, we intend to elevate the importance of water and aquatic foods for achieving global food and nutrition security through discussions of themes such as aquatic nutrition, water data, small-scale fishing communities, sustainable governance and management, and innovations to support sustainable and equitable aquatic food and water systems
