Fishing for Complements: How Aquaculture Helps Improve Diet Quality among the Poor

Interest in 'blue food' systems has grown in recent years. A focus on aquatic foods (fish, shellfish, algae, etc.) is underpinned by recognition that diets around the world would be enhanced by inclusion of water-based production, and that blue food systems can be nature-positive complements to terrestrial farming. This paper focuses on the contributions to, and benefits from, aquatic foods to livelihoods and diets of poor households in resource constrained settings.
