aquaculture
• one of the most innovative and rapidly growing food sectors
– technical developments
– market opportunities
– investment
• majority of aquatic foods
– food security
• provides opportunities for millions
– 120 million directly dependent upon aquaculture

aquaculture and economic growth
but …
• can production meet growth in demand?
– rate of aquaculture growth slowing
• impacts of expansion, intensification and globalization
– makes unsustainable demands on the environment
– perpetuates/aggravates inequity and social exclusion
• can the poor benefit from engaging in aquaculture production?
– susceptible to climate change, increasing vulnerability

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 what we will not do
our Development Challenge
Sustainable Aquaculture
• provides food, nutrition and economic opportunity for those who most need it
• uses ecosystem services wisely and efficiently, avoiding the accumulation of environmental problems for the future
• is integrated into national economies in ways that maximize its development impact
Sustainable Aquaculture
• provides food, nutrition and economic opportunity for those who most need it

in practice ….
• working in some 15 countries
• working with dozens of partners (ARIs, NARs, NGOs)
• participating in some 25 research/ development projects
• impacting on household incomes, nutrition,
• building capacity
• producing dozens of IPGs
– research papers, policy briefs, genetically improved strains
balance our research portfolio
• three drivers of project portfolio recognized
– funding opportunities at country level
– strategic choices in the develop-ment of the sub-sector at country level
– defining a global research agenda for aquaculture in developing countries
• strategic drivers should play a greater role
• how to secure research funds?

• to maximize impacts of Sustainable Aquaculture on the poor we must focus on less poor producers
• chronic poor are best helped through facilitating engagement in other parts of the market chain
• … but we need a globally coordinated research agenda to test this
develop an extension research agenda
• we need a globally integrated research agenda that determines how to most effectively - and cost effectively – scale out sustainable, productive aquaculture technologies in different contexts
– incl. mechanisms to multiply and disseminate genetically improved strains
