• Blind spots in visions of a “blue economy” could undermine the ocean's contribution to eliminating hunger and malnutrition (2021, background): “The sale, processing, and trade of seafood also contribute to food and nutrition security through livelihoods and income generation.(4) Over 100 million fish workers are engaged through small-scale fisheries indevelopingcountries, accounting for 88%of all fish workers globally.”
• Most fish destined for fishmeal production are food-grade fish (2017, background): “…2014, FAO, 2014; Golden et al., 2016b), the current and potentially increasing use for non- DHC may represent a challenge to global food security (Béné et al., 2016; Naylor et al., 2000), especially with regards to animal protein and micronutrients (Béné et al., 2015; Golden et al., 2016b).”
• Give a Man a Fishpond: Modeling the Impacts of Aquaculture in the Rural Economy (2018, background): “However, the literature lacks both a consistent theoretical framework and a compelling body of empirical evidence evaluating the contributions of aquaculture to rural economic development (Arthur, Béné, Leschen, & Little, 2013; Béné et al., 2016).”
• The Contribution of Fish to Food and Nutrition Security in Eastern Africa: Emerging Trends and Future Outlooks (2019, background): “Several publications recognize the full potential of fish in improving the food and nutritional security of the rural poor, especially of women and young children [45,47,50,51].”
• How is innovation in aquaculture conceptualized and managed? A systematic literature review and reflection framework to inform analysis and action (2017, methodology): “We based our assessment on review methodology (Arksey and O'Malley, 2005; Levac et al., 2010) and a recent scoping review of fisheries and aquaculture (Béné et al., 2016).”
• Developing sustainable small-scale fisheries livelihoods in Indonesia: Trends, enabling and constraining factors, and future opportunities (2021, background): “Small-scale fisheries (SSF) make critical contributions to the livelihoods, food and nutritional security, and well-being of predominantly coastal households around the world [3,4].”
• Climate Change and Global Food Systems: Potential Impacts on Food Security and Undernutrition. (2017, background): “Although agriculture dominates global food production with respect to total dietary energy, seafood is important in the supply of protein, minerals, vitamins, and fatty acids for many populations around the world (15, 18, 59, 79).”
• TheAlliance for Freshwater Life: A global call to unite efforts for freshwater biodiversity science and conservation (2018, background): “Freshwater ecosystems are a fundamental resource for human life, providing clean water, food, livelihoods, and other ecosystem services, estimated to be worth over $4 trillion annually (Béné et al., 2016; Costanza et al., 2014; Lynch et al., 2016; Youn et al., 2014).”
