The role of aquatic food systems in food and nutrition security
 

Session Overview

Part 1: A short introduction to the IMMANA project "Linking agroecosystems producing farmed seafood with food security and health status to better address the nutritional challenges in Bangladesh"
Part 2: Small group work to identify drivers of aquaculture production systems, food availability, dietary intakes, nutritional status and individual health
Part 3: Parallel group session to produce a mindmap identifying important interactions between these drivers and discussion of suitable research questions to assess such interactions
Part 4: General evaluation of the mindmaps, leading to gap analysis of our and other studies
